# When will Dubai Maritime City be completed? URL: https://www.dxbrealtor.ai/answers/dubai-maritime-city-handover-date/ Topic: Handover date Updated: 2026-10-11 ## Short answer Dubai Maritime City has no single completion date. DP World is the master developer, and each residential tower has its own registered completion date on the Dubai Land Department (DLD) register, the latest being 31 December 2029 for Chelsea Residences, Chelsea Residences 2 and Prestige One Residences. Two towers are complete: Anwa (2022) and Riva Residence, recorded 100% built on 22 December 2025. Nautica One and Two were the most advanced of the rest at 85.19% and 85.45% (DLD inspection, 3 September 2026), while Mar Casa was 56.45% built on 4 August 2026 against a registered date of 31 October 2026. ## Key figures - Latest registered completion date (DLD): 31 Dec 2029 (Chelsea Residences 1 and 2, Prestige One Residences) - Most advanced tower under construction: 85.45% (Nautica Two, DLD inspection 3 Sep 2026) - Towers complete: 2 (Anwa (2022); Riva Residence, 100% at 22 Dec 2025 DLD inspection) - Next registered date: 31 Oct 2026 (Mar Casa, 56.45% built on 4 Aug 2026) ## Dubai Maritime City completion date: the latest position Dubai Maritime City will not be completed on one date. DP World runs the district, and the residential towers are built by separate developers, each with its own registered completion date on the Dubai Land Department register. In October 2026 those dates ran from 31 October 2026 for Mar Casa to 31 December 2029 for DAMAC's Chelsea Residences and Prestige One Residences. Background on the district is on the [Dubai Maritime City](/projects/dubai-maritime-city/) page. Two towers are complete. Anwa by Omniyat was finished in 2022, and Riva Residence by Vakson was recorded 100% built on 22 December 2025. Nautica One and Two are next, both above 85% built in September 2026. ## Dubai Maritime City completion date by project | Tower (developer) | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date | |---|---|---|---| | Anwa (Omniyat) | Complete | 2022 | Complete (Bayut) | | Riva Residence (Vakson) | 100%, 22 Dec 2025 | 25 Sep 2025 | Q4 2025 (Bayut) | | Nautica Two (Select Global) | 85.45%, 3 Sep 2026 | Not filed | Q4 2026 (Bayut) | | Nautica One (Select Global) | 85.19%, 3 Sep 2026 | Not filed | Q4 2026 (Bayut) | | [Anwa Aria (Omniyat)](/projects/anwa-aria-by-omniyat/) | 84.86%, 30 Sep 2026 | 31 Jan 2026, passed | Q4 2027 (Omniyat) | | Harbour Lights (DAMAC) | 64.31%, 9 Jul 2026 | 21 May 2027 | Q2 2027 (Continental Club) | | Mar Casa (Deyaar) | 56.45%, 4 Aug 2026 | 31 Oct 2026 | Q4 2026 (Bayut) | | Oceanz 1 (Danube) | 50.04%, 25 Aug 2026 | Not filed | Q1 2027 (Bayut); within 12 months (Danube, Jul 2026) | | Oceanz 2 (Danube) | 42.03%, 25 Aug 2026 | Not found | Q1 2027 (Bayut) | | The Pier Residence (Continental Investments) | 34.81%, 14 Jul 2026 | 31 Dec 2026 | Not published | | Coral Reef (DAMAC) | 32.87%, 10 Aug 2026 | Not filed | Q1 2028 (Bayut) | | Oceanz 3 (Danube) | 20.64%, 4 Aug 2026 | Not found | Q1 2027 (Bayut) | | LIV Maritime (LIV) | 18.73%, 19 May 2026 | 30 Dec 2028 | Not published | | Saria (Beyond) | 16.88%, 7 May 2026 | 1 Oct 2027 | Q1 2028 (Beyond, Mar 2026); Q3 2027 (Bayut) | | Chelsea Residences 2 (DAMAC) | 5.44%, 6 Aug 2026 | 31 Dec 2029 | Not published | | Chelsea Residences (DAMAC) | 5.19%, 7 Aug 2026 | 31 Dec 2029 | Q4 2029 (Bayut) | | Il Vento (Kora) | 1.15%, 12 May 2026 | 30 Sep 2029 | Not published | | 31 Above (Beyond) | 0.51%, 18 Jun 2026 | 30 Dec 2028 | Not published | | [Breez by Danube](/answers/breez-by-danube-handover-date/) | 0.14%, 14 Jul 2026 | 30 Jun 2029 | 2029 (Danube) | | Prestige One Residences (Prestige Luxe) | 0.11%, 23 Sep 2026 | 31 Dec 2029 | Not published | DLD figures come from the register as republished by Continental Club and Mitchells Commercial Realty (September and October 2026). The DLD land area for these towers is Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah. The same land area also covers Mina Rashid buildings marketed as part of [Rashid Yachts and Marina](/answers/rashid-yachts-and-marina-handover-date/), such as Seascape, registered for 30 November 2026. ## How the Dubai Maritime City completion date has changed | Date | What happened | Source | |---|---|---| | 2022 | Anwa by Omniyat completed, the first residential tower | Bayut | | 25 Sep 2025 | Riva Residence registered completion date | DLD via Mitchells | | 22 Dec 2025 | Riva Residence recorded 100% built, three months after its registered date | DLD via Mitchells | | 31 Jan 2026 | Anwa Aria's registered date passes, at 73.54% by July | DLD via Mitchells | | 24 Mar 2026 | Beyond reports Saria at 10.32%, completion expected Q1 2028 | Beyond via Zawya | | 30 Jul 2026 | Danube lists Oceanz 1 to 3 among projects to hand over within 12 months | Danube via GoDubai | | Sep 2026 | Latest registered dates on file: 31 Dec 2029 | DLD via Continental Club | Saria shows how dates can differ: the DLD register gives 1 October 2027, Bayut Q3 2027, and Beyond itself Q1 2028. ## What the Dubai Maritime City dates mean for payments Each developer sets its own plan. Mar Casa asks 12% at booking with instalments linked to construction (Real Estate Club Dubai), so the remaining payments follow the building's progress rather than the 31 October 2026 date on file. For towers with no registered completion date filed, such as Nautica, Oceanz 1 and Coral Reef, the SPA is the only document that fixes when the handover payment falls due. ## What to check before relying on a Dubai Maritime City date 1. **Whether the tower is in Dubai Maritime City or Mina Rashid.** Both sit in the DLD land area Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah. 2. **Which Oceanz or Chelsea building a unit is in.** Oceanz 1 and Oceanz 3 were about 30 points apart in August 2026. 3. **Passed registered dates.** Anwa Aria's 31 January 2026 date and Mar Casa's 31 October 2026 date sit well ahead of their build progress. 4. **The developer's own date.** Beyond and Danube have both given dates that differ from portals and the register. ## Frequently asked ### When will Dubai Maritime City be completed?
