When is the Elle Residences handover date?
Short answer
ANAX Developments gives Q4 2027 as the Elle Residences handover date, and the DLD register holds a completion date of 1 September 2027. The only published DLD inspection, on 4 September 2025, recorded 0%, two months before the registered construction start of 1 November 2025, and no newer figure had appeared by 27 September 2026. At launch in September 2025 the target was Q3 2027, so the developer date has moved one quarter.

Elle Residences handover date: the latest position
ANAX Developments gives Q4 2027 as the handover date for Elle Residences, its 98 home ELLE branded building on Dubai Islands. The DLD project register holds a registered completion date of 1 September 2027. Full project details are on the Elle Residences page.
The register does not yet show how far construction has gone. Its only inspection, on 4 September 2025, recorded 0%, and the registered construction start date is 1 November 2025. By the register update of 27 September 2026, no newer inspection had been published. ANAX lists the building as sold out.
Elle Residences handover date by building
Elle Residences is a single building: ground floor, two podium levels, 10 residential floors and a rooftop, holding 91 apartments and 7 townhouses.
| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elle Residences (98 units, DLD project 4065) | 0% (4 Sep 2025) | 1 Sep 2027 | Q4 2027 (ANAX, Oct 2026); Q3 2027 (Ezre, Oct 2026) |
Townhouse owners share the same building, completion date and registration as the apartment owners.
How the Elle Residences handover date has changed
| Date | What was said | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 21 May 2025 | ANAX announced ELLE’s first residential project in the Middle East | ANAX Developments |
| 4 Sep 2025 | DLD inspection recorded 0% | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 25 Sep 2025 | Launch release: completion slated for Q3 2027; sales open 26 September 2025 | Lagardère |
| 1 Nov 2025 | Registered construction start | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 2026 | Register holds a completion date of 1 September 2027 | DLD register via Continental Club |
| Oct 2026 | ANAX project page shows Q4 2027 and “Sold Out” | ANAX Developments |
The shift from Q3 to Q4 2027 is small so far. The bigger gap is the lack of a published inspection since construction began, which leaves the 2027 date untested against the public record.
What the Elle Residences handover date means for payments
The published plan is 30/70: 10% on booking, 20% during construction and 70% on handover (JRE Dubai and Continental Club, accessed October 2026). Most of the price therefore falls due when the building is completed. On the median 2 bedroom sale of AED 3,061,777, the handover payment is about AED 2.14 million; on the median 3 bedroom sale of AED 5,677,777 it is about AED 3.97 million. If the date moves later, this payment moves with it.
What to check before relying on the Elle Residences date
- The date in the SPA or Oqood. Contracts signed in late 2025 may quote Q3 2027, the launch target, rather than Q4 2027.
- The next DLD inspection. The only public figure, 0% from September 2025, predates the registered construction start.
- The grace period in the SPA, since 70% of the price depends on completion.
- For assignment buyers, the payment record on the unit, as ANAX lists the building as sold out and any purchase now is a resale of an off-plan contract.
