The DLD inspection of 16 June 2026 recorded 6.30% progress (Continental Club, registry updated 4 October 2026). It is the latest inspection on record, almost four months old by October 2026. Dates for the other towers in the community are on the Rashid Yachts and Marina page.
Baystar by Vida handover date by building
| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baystar by Vida (328 units, one DLD project) | 6.30%, 16 Jun 2026 | 31 Dec 2029 | Q4 2029 (Emaar); 31 Dec 2029 (Property Finder) |
The DLD register carries one project record and one date for all 328 units. Continental Club’s status panel shows three buildings while its text describes two residential towers, Engel and Volkers refers to twin towers, and Property Finder lists one building of 105 units. A single registered date applies whichever count is right.
How the Baystar by Vida handover date has changed
| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 24 Dec 2025 | Bookings open; construction registered as starting; completion set for 31 December 2029 | Property Finder; DLD register via Continental Club |
| 19 Feb 2026 | First DLD inspection after start | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 16 Jun 2026 | DLD inspection: 6.30%, up 5.88 points since February | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 4 Oct 2026 | Register still shows 31 December 2029 | Continental Club |
The date has not moved. Progress between February and June 2026 averaged about 1.5 points a month. The project needs about 2.2 points a month from June 2026 to finish by 31 December 2029, so the gap between the recorded and the needed pace is under one point a month.
What the Baystar by Vida handover date means for payments
Both published plans put 20% on handover. On Emaar’s 10/70/20 plan, the 70% construction share is paid in seven instalments, so 80% of the price is paid before completion. On a 1 bedroom at the DLD median of AED 2,185,888, the handover payment is about AED 437,200, and the construction instalments total about AED 1.53 million.
What to check before relying on the Baystar by Vida date
- Whether the seven construction instalments follow dates or progress. At 6.30% built in June 2026, a date-based schedule can collect much of the 70% well before the structure is finished.
- Which building the unit is in, given the one, two or three building descriptions, and whether the SPA gives that building a separate date.
- The grace period in the SPA beyond 31 December 2029.
