## Short answer

Chelsea Gardens has a registered completion date of 28 February 2027 at the Dubai Land Department (DLD); Bayut gives Q1 2027 and ezre Q2 2027. The DLD inspection of 23 September 2026 recorded the building 10.3% complete. At the pace recorded between May and September 2026, about 1.6 points a month, a February 2027 completion would need a far faster build; the register had not been revised by 4 October 2026.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 28 Feb 2027 (DLD project 3553, via Mitchell's, registry as at 4 Oct 2026)
- Latest construction progress (DLD): 10.3% (DLD inspection, 23 Sep 2026)
- Developer and portal dates: Q1 to Q2 2027 (Bayut, Continental Club (Q1); ezre (Q2); Alaia says 2027)
- Progress four months earlier: 3.21% (DLD inspection, 12 May 2026, via Continental Club)

## Chelsea Gardens handover date: the latest position

Chelsea Gardens is registered for completion on 28 February 2027 at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), as project 3553 in Al Satwa, the DLD area that covers Jumeirah Garden City. Bayut and Continental Club give Q1 2027, ezre gives Q2 2027 and Alaia Developments says 2027. Prices, sizes and plans: [Chelsea Gardens](/projects/chelsea-gardens/).

The DLD inspection of 23 September 2026 recorded 10.3% progress. With five months to the registered date, about 90% of the work remained.

## Chelsea Gardens handover date by building

Chelsea Gardens is a single building of ground, two podium levels, eight floors and a roof.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea Gardens (59 homes) | 10.3%, 23 Sep 2026 | 28 Feb 2027 | 2027 (Alaia); Q1 2027 (Bayut); Q2 2027 (ezre) |

## How the Chelsea Gardens handover date has changed

| Date | What was recorded | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 16 Dec 2024 | First registered sale | DLD sales register, via Mitchell's |
| 1 Mar 2025 | Registered construction start | DLD register, via Mitchell's |
| 19 Feb 2026 | Expected completion Q1 2027 | Bayut |
| 12 May 2026 | 3.21% complete | DLD inspection, via Continental Club |
| 23 Sep 2026 | 10.3% complete | DLD inspection, via Continental Club |
| 4 Oct 2026 | Registered completion still 28 Feb 2027 | DLD register, via Mitchell's |
| 11 Oct 2026 | Handover listed as Q2 2027 | ezre |

The registered date has not been revised, but portal dates have moved from Q1 to Q2 2027. Progress rose by 7.09 points between May and September 2026, about 1.6 points a month. At that pace the remaining 89.7 points would take several years, so the February 2027 date depends on a much faster build in the months ahead.

## What the Chelsea Gardens handover date means for payments

Under the main plan, buyers pay 20% on booking and two 10% instalments within six and 12 months of booking, then 60% on handover (Tanami; Bayut). Because the construction instalments are fixed to booking dates, most early buyers have already paid 40%. The 60% balance waits for completion, so a later handover delays the largest payment. On the median registered price of AED 1.80 million (Mitchell's), that is about AED 1.08 million. Under the post-handover plan listed by ezre, 10% is due on handover and 40% over 24 months after it.

## What to check before relying on the Chelsea Gardens date

1. **The SPA date and grace period.** With the building at 10.3% in September 2026, these terms decide what happens if 28 February 2027 passes.
2. **Any revised date filed at DLD.** The DLD project status service shows the registered date and each new inspection.
3. **Mortgage timing for the 60% handover payment**, since the bank offer has to be valid when the handover notice is issued.
4. **For a resale**, the seller's paid amount; time based instalments mean 40% may be paid on a building that is about 10% built.
