When is the Jouri Hills handover date?
Short answer
Arada's current handover target for Jouri Hills is Q4 2026. The DLD register still shows a registered completion date of 30 June 2026, which has passed. The latest DLD inspection, on 5 October 2026, recorded 78.47% complete. Arada first promised completion by mid-2025, so the date has moved by about 18 months, and the recent pace points to early 2027 rather than late 2026.

How the Jouri Hills handover date has changed
| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 2022 | Launch at Cityscape Dubai; completion due by mid-2025 | Propsearch |
| 1 Aug 2023 | Construction start registered | DLD register |
| Oct 2023 | Main contract to Intermass, 21 month programme; project sold out | Propsearch |
| 16 Mar 2026 | DLD inspection records 51.89% | DLD register |
| 23 Apr 2026 | DLD inspection records 58.05% | DLD register |
| 31 Jul 2026 | Arada website shows Q4 2026 | NAHY |
| Late Aug 2026 | Registered completion date moves from 30 Jun 2025 to 30 Jun 2026 | Dubai Handover snapshots |
| 5 Oct 2026 | DLD inspection records 78.47% | DLD register |
Between 23 April and 5 October 2026, progress rose 20.42 points, about 3.8 points a month. At that pace, the remaining 21.53 points would take about five and a half months, which points to around March 2027. Finishing within Q4 2026 would need roughly double that pace. This is a calculation from the register, not a date given by Arada.
What the Jouri Hills handover date means for payments
The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover (Continental Club; Projects Scout), with no post-handover instalments. The 40% handover payment is large on homes at this level. On a 3 bedroom townhouse at AED 4,997,722, it is about AED 2.0 million. On a 5 bedroom villa at AED 10.1 million, it is about AED 4.06 million. That payment falls due only when Arada issues the handover notice, so the slip from mid-2025 has also pushed it back.
What to check before relying on the Jouri Hills date
- The anticipated completion date and grace period in the original SPA, since many contracts were signed against mid-2025.
- Whether the register’s completion date moves again, as it did in August 2026.
- Whether the plot’s cluster is in the first handover batch, since a 295 unit villa community may not hand over all at once.
- The handover notice and snagging timeline, as the 40% balance becomes due when the notice is issued.
