# When is the Eden Hills handover date?

## Short answer

The DLD register gives Eden Hills a registered completion date of 25 December 2026, but the project was only 3.54% complete at the DLD inspection on 22 September 2026, so that date will be missed. H&H Development said in January 2025 that its second phase would be completed in Q1 2028, and Bayut shows Q1 2028 for the community. Phase 1 dates given at launch, Q4 2026 or 2027, also look out of reach at the current pace.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 25 Dec 2026 (DLD project register via Continental Club)
- Latest construction progress: 3.54% (DLD inspection, 22 Sep 2026)
- Developer's stated date (phase 2): Q1 2028 (H&H via Metropolitan, 24 Jan 2025)
- Phase 1 date given at launch: Q4 2026 or 2027 (Arabian Business; Gulf Construction Online, 16 Nov 2024)

## Eden Hills handover date: the latest position

The DLD project register gives Eden Hills a registered completion date of 25 December 2026. At the latest DLD inspection, on 22 September 2026, the community was 3.54% complete, so that date will pass with almost all of the work still ahead. Prices, sizes and the payment plan are on the [Eden Hills](/projects/eden-hills/) page.

H&H Development's most recent published date is Q1 2028, given for the second phase in January 2025 (Metropolitan). Bayut shows Q1 2028 for the whole community, while Property Finder still shows December 2026. H&H had not announced a revised date by 11 October 2026.

## Eden Hills handover date by phase

The register lists Eden Hills as one project, DLD number 3311, with 279 units and one progress figure. H&H sells it in phases, with different dates.

| Phase | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 (104 villas at launch) | 3.54%, 22 Sep 2026 (whole project) | 25 Dec 2026 | Q4 2026 (Arabian Business) or 2027 (Gulf Construction Online, 16 Nov 2024) |
| Phase 2 | 3.54%, 22 Sep 2026 (whole project) | 25 Dec 2026 | Q1 2028 (Metropolitan, 24 Jan 2025; Bayut) |
| 29 custom plots | 3.54%, 22 Sep 2026 (whole project) | 25 Dec 2026 | Not published |

H&H's marketed total is 327 villas and plots. The register's 279 units and its separate count of 158 villas do not match that figure, so a unit's phase is best confirmed on its SPA.

## How the Eden Hills handover date has changed

| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 14 Nov 2023 | Plots launched from AED 18.1 million; handover "in about 20 months" | Metropolitan |
| 16 Nov 2024 | H&H announces 327 villas, 104 sold; construction from October, phase 1 in 2027 | Gulf Construction Online |
| 24 Jan 2025 | Second phase released; completion scheduled for Q1 2028 | Metropolitan |
| 1 Mar 2025 | Construction start registered | DLD register |
| 23 Jun 2026 | DLD inspection records 2.79% | DLD register |
| 22 Sep 2026 | DLD inspection records 3.54% | DLD register |

The first date, about 20 months from November 2023, pointed to mid 2025. The phase 1 date then moved to Q4 2026 or 2027, depending on the report, and the phase 2 date to Q1 2028. At the June to September 2026 pace of 0.25 points a month, even Q1 2028 would need a large increase in site activity.

## What the Eden Hills handover date means for payments

The plan asks for 25% on booking, 25% within 6 months and 25% within 12 months, leaving 25% for handover (Bayut; Property Finder). The first three payments are tied to calendar dates, not construction progress, so early buyers have already paid 75% while the project is at 3.54%. On an AED 18 million villa, the handover payment is AED 4.5 million, and it moves with the handover date.

## What to check before relying on the Eden Hills date

1. **The completion date in the SPA for the specific phase**, since phase 1 and phase 2 were sold with different dates and the register holds one.
2. **Whether H&H has applied to DLD to extend the 25 December 2026 registered date**, through the DLD project status enquiry.
3. **The next DLD inspection**, which will show whether the pace has picked up from 0.25 points a month.
