## Short answer

Elora at The Valley was completed in March 2026. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) recorded the cluster 100% built at its inspection of 10 March 2026 and logged completion on 13 March 2026, about six months before the September 2026 completion date on Emaar's launch payment plan. DLD sales in September 2026 were registered as ready property. The register still carries a declared completion date of 30 September 2026, which the project beat.

## Key figures

- Completion recorded (DLD): 13 Mar 2026 (DLD project 2511, via Real Estate Club Dubai, verified 1 Oct 2026)
- Construction progress: 100% (DLD inspection, 10 Mar 2026, via Data Dubai)
- Emaar's launch estimate: Sep 2026 (Emaar payment plan, Jan 2023, via Mitchells)
- Declared completion date (DLD): 30 Sep 2026 (DLD register, via Data Dubai)

## Elora at The Valley handover date: the latest position

Elora at The Valley is finished. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) recorded the cluster 100% built on 10 March 2026 and logged completion on 13 March 2026. Emaar's launch payment plan had estimated completion for September 2026, so Elora finished about six months early. Elora is a cluster of [The Valley](/projects/the-valley/); prices, sizes and resales are on the [Elora at The Valley](/projects/elora-at-the-valley/) page.

The DLD registered 13 Elora sales in September 2026, and the latest were recorded as ready property (Data Dubai). Owners take the keys after paying the final 20% and completing snagging.

## Elora at The Valley handover date by building

Elora is one DLD registration, project 2511, with 430 townhouses.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elora, 430 townhouses (DLD project 2511) | 100%, 10 Mar 2026; completion recorded 13 Mar 2026 | 30 Sep 2026 (declared); planned handover 13 Mar 2026 | Sep 2026 (Emaar payment plan); Q3 2026 (Property Finder) |

The register holds two dates. Dubai Handover shows a planned handover of 13 March 2026, the day completion was recorded, while Data Dubai shows a declared completion date of 30 September 2026, matching Emaar's original schedule.

## How the Elora at The Valley handover date has changed

The date moved earlier, not later.

| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 9 Jan 2023 | Project registered with the DLD; launch with 10% booking due in January 2023 and completion estimated for September 2026. | Data Dubai; Emaar plan, via Mitchells |
| 27 Mar 2023 | Construction starts. | DLD register |
| 22 Mar 2024 | 6.2% complete. | DLD inspection, via Data Dubai |
| 29 Oct 2024 | Published handover date: September 2026. | Topluxuryproperty |
| 14 Feb 2025 | 64.4% complete. | DLD inspection, via Data Dubai |
| 31 Dec 2025 | 97.9% complete. | DLD inspection, via Data Dubai |
| 10 Mar 2026 | 100% complete. | DLD inspection, via Data Dubai |
| 13 Mar 2026 | Completion recorded; status finished. | DLD register, via Real Estate Club Dubai |
| Sep 2026 | 13 sales registered, the latest as ready property. | Data Dubai |

Most of the work happened in 2024 and 2025. Progress was 6.2% two years after launch, then rose by about 94 points in under two years.

## What the Elora at The Valley handover date meant for payments

Emaar's plan took 10% at booking and seven 10% instalments, four of them tied to 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% construction, with the final 20% at 100% completion. The 80% milestone was scheduled for January 2026 and completion for September 2026. Because the site reached 100% in March 2026, both payments fell due earlier than the dates printed on the schedule. On a 3 bedroom at the AED 1.6 million launch price, the completion payment was AED 320,000. No post-handover plan was published for Elora's launch.

## What to check when buying a resale townhouse at Elora at The Valley

1. **Whether the seller has completed handover.** A unit sold before the final 20% is paid is still an Oqood transfer, not a title deed.
2. **Snagging records for the unit**, since the defects liability period runs from each owner's handover in 2026.
3. **That the listing is Elora, project 2511**, not a neighbouring Valley cluster with a different date and price level.
4. **Service charges from 2026**, which apply from handover and are not shown in DLD sales data.
