When was Elora at The Valley handed over?
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.

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