## Short answer

DAMAC's handover date for Cavalli Tower is Q2 2027, shown on its project page on 1 October 2026. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) site inspection of 15 July 2026 recorded the tower 85.08% complete, while DAMAC gave its own overall figure as 74% two days later. The registered completion date on the DLD register is still 30 September 2025, which has passed, and DAMAC itself said at the November 2025 topping out that handover would come by the end of 2026.

## Key figures

- Latest construction progress: 85.08% (DLD site inspection, 15 Jul 2026)
- Developer's stated date: Q2 2027 (DAMAC project page, accessed 1 Oct 2026)
- Date change since launch: Up to 21 months (From 30 Sep 2025 (registered) to Q2 2027 (DAMAC))

## Cavalli Tower handover date: the latest position

DAMAC gives Q2 2027 as the handover date for Cavalli Tower, on its project page checked on 1 October 2026. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) site inspection of 15 July 2026 recorded the tower 85.08% complete, while the registered completion date on the DLD register is still 30 September 2025. Prices and the building itself are covered on the [Cavalli Tower](/projects/cavalli-tower/) page.

The tower topped out at 71 storeys in November 2025, when DAMAC said it was on track for handover by the end of 2026. Its current Q2 2027 date is later than that. DAMAC's own progress figure, 74% overall on 17 July 2026, is lower than the DLD's 85.08% from two days earlier, and the two figures come from different inspections.

## Cavalli Tower handover date by building

Cavalli Tower is a single building, filed on the DLD register as Cavalli Casa Tower, project 2283, with 441 homes. Its registered developer entity is Zenica Property Development.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cavalli Tower (Cavalli Casa Tower, 441 homes) | 85.08%, 15 Jul 2026 | 30 Sep 2025 (passed) | Q2 2027 (DAMAC); Sep 2025 (Property Finder); Q3 2025 (Propsearch) |

The DLD figure rose 11.59 points between the inspections of 24 March 2026 (73.49%) and 15 July 2026 (85.08%). No newer DLD inspection had been published by the end of September 2026.

## How the Cavalli Tower handover date has changed

The date has moved twice in public since launch, by up to 21 months in total.

| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 2021 | DAMAC launched Cavalli Tower. | DAMAC, via Khaleej Times |
| 30 Nov 2021 | Construction start registered, with a registered completion date of 30 September 2025. | DLD register, via Tohid Fetrat and fäm Properties |
| 30 Sep 2025 | Registered completion date passed. | DLD register |
| 6 Nov 2025 | Tower topped out at 71 storeys. DAMAC said handover was on track for the end of 2026. | Khaleej Times |
| 24 Mar 2026 | 73.49% complete at the DLD site inspection, up from 65.5% at the previous one. | DLD register, via Tohid Fetrat |
| 15 Jul 2026 | 85.08% complete at the DLD site inspection. | DLD register, via fäm Properties |
| 17 Jul 2026 | DAMAC: superstructure 100% complete, overall construction 74%. | DAMAC |
| Oct 2026 | DAMAC's project page gives Q2 2027. | DAMAC |

Property Finder's project page and Propsearch still carry 2025 dates, which match the registered completion date rather than DAMAC's current one.

## What the Cavalli Tower handover date means for payments

At the September 2021 launch, Property Finder recorded a plan of 20% at booking, 70% during construction and 10% at handover. Under that plan, 90% falls due before the tower is finished, and the handover payment is the last 10%. DAMAC's own stock is reported sold out, and DLD has recorded 619 sales in the building, only 4 of them resales (Continental Club, Sep 2026), so most units are still held by their first buyers. Anyone buying from an owner now takes on whatever share of the plan the seller has not yet paid.

## What to check before relying on the Cavalli Tower date

1. **The completion date and grace period in your SPA.** Many SPAs will carry the registered date of 30 September 2025, so the contract terms, not DAMAC's Q2 2027 date, set any delay rights.
2. **Which progress figure is newer.** DAMAC's 74% and the DLD's 85.08% were two days apart in July 2026. DLD's project status enquiry service for project 2283 shows the official figure.
3. **On a resale, how much of the 20/70/10 plan the seller has paid**, and whether DAMAC has agreed to transfer the remaining handover payment.
4. **The name on the register.** The DLD lists the tower as Cavalli Casa Tower, project 2283, so a search for Cavalli Tower on DLD services may not find it.
