Exotica by Al Marina handover date: the latest position
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) register gave Exotica a completion date of 30 September 2026, and that date has passed with the building unfinished. The latest stated date from the developer is December 2026, from its official launch release of 19 November 2025. See the full project guide for Exotica by Al Marina.
The DLD inspection on 19 June 2026 recorded 41.09%. The inspection before it, on 22 August 2025, recorded about 41.01%. Recorded progress was therefore almost flat for ten months, and close to 60% of the build remained six months before the developer’s December 2026 date.

What the Exotica by Al Marina handover date means for payments
The developer advertises a 30/70 plan, with 30% paid during construction and 70% on handover (developer site; launch release, 19 November 2025). On a AED 946,777 apartment, about AED 662,700 falls due at handover. Other listings show 10/60/30, 10/40/50 or a plan with 30% paid within 24 months after handover, so the share due at completion depends on which plan the buyer signed. A later handover delays that payment but also delays the keys and any rental income.
What to check before relying on the Exotica by Al Marina date
- The completion date and grace period in the SPA. The registered 30 September 2026 date has passed, so the grace period terms now matter.
- The next DLD inspection for project 2823, to see whether progress has moved above 41%.
- Which plan the SPA uses and how much is due at handover, given 30/70 and the other plans in circulation.
- Whether the DLD has registered a new completion date, through the DLD project status service.
