## Short answer

Danube's project pages give October 2026 for Elitz 1 and December 2027 for Elitz 2, both later than the dates announced at launch. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) inspection of 13 August 2026 put Elitz 1 at 80.97%, and the inspection of 28 September 2026 put Elitz 2 at 20.01%. The DLD registered completion date for Elitz 1, 31 December 2025, has passed, and Elitz 2 has no registered date.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): Elitz 1: 31 Dec 2025 (passed); Elitz 2: none (DLD register, projects 2533 and 2693, via Mitchells, accessed 6 Oct 2026)
- Latest construction progress: 80.97% / 20.01% (Elitz 1 DLD inspection 13 Aug 2026; Elitz 2 DLD inspection 28 Sep 2026)
- Developer's stated date: Oct 2026 / Dec 2027 (Danube project pages for Elitz 1 and Elitz 2, accessed 6 Oct 2026)
- Date at launch: Q4 2025 / Q3 2026 (Gulf News, 30 Dec 2022; Danube, 9 Aug 2023)

## Elitz by Danube handover date: the latest position

Danube Elitz in Jumeirah Village Circle is two separate DLD projects. Danube's project page for Elitz 1 now gives October 2026, and the page for Elitz 2 gives December 2027. The DLD inspection of 13 August 2026 put Elitz 1 at 80.97%, and the inspection of 28 September 2026 put Elitz 2 at 20.01% (Mitchells; Continental Club). Prices and sizes for both phases are on the [Elitz by Danube](/projects/elitz-by-danube/) page.

Elitz 1 is close to finishing: Danube's own inspection on 31 August 2026 recorded 90%, with snagging in progress and the civil defence inspection next. In July 2026 Danube named Elitz 1 among 11 projects due within 12 months (Gulf News, 30 July 2026). Elitz 2 is at an early stage and was not on that list. The newer [Elitz 3 by Danube](/projects/elitz-3-by-danube/) has its own [handover page](/answers/elitz-3-by-danube-handover-date/).

## What the Elitz by Danube handover date means for payments

Both phases were sold on Danube's 1% monthly plan, with the balance due when the building is ready. In its Elitz 2 launch release Danube said buyers usually move in after paying about 60% of the price. A buyer keeps paying 1% a month until completion, so the delay at each phase means more of the price is paid in instalments and a smaller balance remains at handover. The exact split depends on each buyer's booking date and SPA.

## What to check before relying on the Elitz by Danube date

1. **Which Elitz phase the unit is in.** Elitz 1 and Elitz 2 are more than a year apart on Danube's own dates, and Elitz 3 is separate again.
2. **The SPA date and grace period for Elitz 1**, since its DLD registered date of 31 December 2025 has passed.
3. **Whether Elitz 2 has a completion date on the DLD register** for project 2693, through DLD's project status enquiry service.
4. **For Elitz 1, the civil defence and completion certificates**, the last steps Danube lists before handover.
