Aston Towers handover date: the latest position
Aston Towers has no handover date. The project, marketed as Aston Plaza & Residences, was registered with a completion date of 1 April 2020, and that date passed without the towers being finished. Full project details are on the Aston Towers page.
The most recent construction figure is the DLD register value of 32.82% shown by DXBinteract and Dubricks, neither of which publishes the inspection date behind it. The last dated report of site activity is from April 2019, when The Times reported (as summarised by CoinDesk) that government inspectors had visited in January 2018 and declared the project on hold.
Aston Towers handover date by building
| Building | Construction progress (DLD) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aston Tower A | 32.82% for the whole project (DXBinteract, date not shown) | 1 Apr 2020 (project level) | Late 2019 at relaunch (Fortune, Sep 2017); no current date |
| Aston Tower B | 32.82% for the whole project (DXBinteract, date not shown) | 1 Apr 2020 (project level) | Late 2019 at relaunch (Fortune, Sep 2017); no current date |
Both towers sit under one registered project, number 152 according to the developer’s sales website and Korter, which lists 1,108 units across the two buildings. No source splits the progress figure or the date between Tower A and Tower B.
How the Aston Towers handover date has changed
| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 8 Nov 2008 | Registered start of the project | fäm Properties; DXBinteract |
| 6 Sep 2017 | Relaunch by the Knox Group with Michelle Mone: two towers, 1,133 apartments, completion promised for late 2019 | Fortune |
| Jan 2018 | Bitcoin sales phase opens; the sales website describes the project as 25% constructed with over 400 apartments sold | Aston Plaza & Residences website |
| Jan 2018 | Government inspectors declare the project on hold | The Times, via CoinDesk, 29 Apr 2019 |
| 12 Feb 2018 | 50 apartments sold for bitcoin; completion estimated for around summer 2019 | CCN |
| 1 Apr 2020 | Registered completion date passes | fäm Properties; DXBinteract |
| Oct 2026 | DLD register figure of 32.82%; developer sales suspended | DXBinteract; Korter, accessed 6 Oct 2026 |
The 25% figure from January 2018 came from the developer’s marketing. The 32.82% figure comes from the DLD register and has no published date, so it cannot be placed on this timeline.
What the Aston Towers handover date means for payments
The developer’s sales website says buyer payments went into a RERA escrow account for project 152, from which money can only be released for construction costs approved by the bank and RERA. In the bitcoin phase it offered an extra 5% discount to buyers paying 100% of the price upfront, so some buyers paid in full years before any handover. No payment plan with a handover instalment has been published for the project.
What to check before relying on the Aston Towers date
- The current DLD status of project 152, through DLD’s project status enquiry service, which shows whether the project is active, on hold or under cancellation.
- The tower named in the Oqood. With no public split between Tower A and Tower B, the registration document is the record of which building a unit belongs to.
- Whether a bitcoin purchase was registered. Units sold through BitPay in 2018 are covered by DLD records only if the sale was registered in the buyer’s name.
- The building behind any “Aston Towers” listing. Some portals use the name as a location label for nearby completed buildings such as Opalz by Danube and Bella Rose.
