When is the Elaris Sky handover date?
Short answer
Object 1 gives Elaris Sky a Q4 2028 handover, and the DLD register lists a completion date of 30 September 2028. The DLD recorded the tower 0.19% complete at its inspection on 3 August 2026. The two dates differ by one quarter, and with work only just started, each buyer's SPA date is the one to rely on.

Elaris Sky handover date: the latest position
Object 1 gives a Q4 2028 handover for Elaris Sky, and Projectory lists December 2028. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) register lists a completion date of 30 September 2028, one quarter earlier. See the full project guide for Elaris Sky.
Construction has just started. The DLD recorded 0.00% at its inspection on 20 April 2026 and 0.19% on 3 August 2026. The 43 floor tower therefore has almost all of its structure to build in the roughly two years left before the registered date.

| 20 Apr 2026 | DLD inspection: 0.00% | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 3 Aug 2026 | DLD inspection: 0.19%; completion date 30 September 2028 | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 11 Oct 2026 | Object 1 still gives Q4 2028 | Object 1 |
The marketed year has not changed since launch. The only gap is between the registered 30 September 2028 and Object 1’s Q4 2028, which allows up to three extra months on the marketing date.
What the Elaris Sky handover date means for payments
The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% on handover (Binayah and Continental Club, accessed October 2026). On a AED 767,000 studio, AED 230,100 falls due at handover, and on a 1 bedroom at the median registered price of AED 1,160,101, about AED 348,000. If handover moves later, so does that final payment, while construction instalments follow the pace of work.
What to check before relying on the Elaris Sky date
- Which completion date the SPA states, 30 September 2028 or a Q4 2028 date, and the grace period after it.
- The DLD progress for project 4019 at the next inspection, since the August 2026 figure was the first above zero.
- That the unit is in Elaris Sky, not Elaris Rise, as the two towers launched together but are separate registered projects.
