## Short answer

Danube gives April 2027 as the Elitz 3 completion date on its main project page, later than the Q4 2026 it announced at launch in August 2023, which still appears in the page's own FAQ. The DLD site inspection of 18 September 2026 put construction at 37.99%, and Danube's internal inspection on 31 August 2026 put it at 48%. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) register holds no completion date for the project, so the SPA date is the only contractual reference.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): Not on the register (DLD register, project 2722, via Mitchells, accessed 1 Oct 2026)
- Latest construction progress: 37.99% (DLD site inspection, 18 Sep 2026; Danube reports 48% at 31 Aug 2026)
- Developer's stated date: Apr 2027 (Danube main project page; its FAQ still says Q4 2026 (accessed 1 Oct 2026))
- Date change since launch: Q4 2026 to Apr 2027 (Danube launch, 5 Aug 2023; Danube project page, 1 Oct 2026)

## Elitz 3 handover date: the latest position

Danube's main project page gives April 2027 as the completion date for Elitz 3 in Jumeirah Village Circle, while the FAQ on the same page still says Q4 2026, the date announced at launch. The Dubai Land Department register holds no completion date for project number 2722. The DLD site inspection of 18 September 2026 recorded 37.99%, and Danube's own inspection on 31 August 2026 put the project at 48%. Prices and resale data are on the [Elitz 3 by Danube](/projects/elitz-3-by-danube/) page.

In July 2026 Danube named Elitz 3 among 11 projects it plans to deliver within 12 months, which points to no later than July 2027 (Gulf News, 30 July 2026). The two progress figures come from different inspections three and a half months apart, so they are not directly comparable.

## Elitz 3 handover date by building

Elitz 3 is two towers on a shared podium. Danube reports progress for each tower; the DLD gives one figure for both.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tower A (41 floors on register) | 37.99%, whole project, 18 Sep 2026. Danube: 38th floor slab cast, 31 Aug 2026 | None on register | Apr 2027 (Danube main page); Q4 2026 (Danube FAQ) |
| Tower B (35 floors on register) | 37.99%, whole project, 18 Sep 2026. Danube: 18th floor slab cast, 31 Aug 2026 | None on register | Apr 2027 (Danube main page); Q4 2026 (Danube FAQ) |

Floor counts are from the developer's filed description on the DLD register (Mitchells). At launch, Danube described towers of 40 and 46 floors with 750 units; the register now lists 692 homes. On 31 August 2026, blockwork had reached the 28th floor of Tower A and the 9th of Tower B (Danube).

## What the Elitz 3 handover date means for payments

Elitz 3 was sold on Danube's 1% monthly plan. At launch Danube described it as a monthly payment of 1% of the price, with the balance collected after the building is ready (Danube, August 2023). A buyer keeps paying monthly until completion, so a later handover means more of the price is paid in instalments and less remains as the final balance. Danube does not publish one handover percentage for the project, and the split depends on each buyer's booking date and SPA.

## What to check before relying on the Elitz 3 date

1. **Which tower your unit is in.** On 31 August 2026 Tower A had 38 slabs cast and Tower B 18, so a single date for both may not hold.
2. **The completion date written in your SPA**, since the DLD register has none and Danube's own page shows both Q4 2026 and April 2027.
3. **Whether a completion date has been added to the DLD register** for project number 2722, through DLD's project status enquiry service.
4. **How many monthly instalments your plan assumes** before the balance falls due, since that depends on when your SPA says the building is ready.

## Frequently asked

### What is the Elitz 3 completion date?

April 2027, on Danube's main project page. The FAQ on the same page still says Q4 2026, the date announced at launch in August 2023. The DLD register holds no completion date (Danube and Mitchells, accessed 1 Oct 2026).

### Is Elitz 3 finished?

No. The DLD site inspection of 18 September 2026 put it at 37.99%, up from 32.49% on 12 May 2026. Danube's own inspection on 31 August 2026 put it at 48%, with Tower A at its 38th floor slab and Tower B at its 18th.

### Has the Elitz 3 handover date been delayed?

Yes, by about two quarters on Danube's own figures. Danube announced Q4 2026 at launch on 5 August 2023 and now shows April 2027 in its main project details. In July 2026 it named Elitz 3 among 11 projects due within 12 months (Gulf News, 30 Jul 2026).

### When will Elitz 3 be ready?

Danube's latest dates point to the first half of 2027: April 2027 on its project page and within 12 months of 30 July 2026 in its group announcement. Tower B was 17 slabs behind Tower A on 31 August 2026, so the two towers were at different stages.

### How much is due at the Elitz 3 handover?

Danube's 1% monthly plan collects the balance when the building is ready. The share left at handover depends on how many monthly instalments a buyer has paid by then, so it falls the longer construction runs.
