## Short answer

The DLD register shows a registered completion date of 30 June 2027 for Keturah Reserve, and portals list Q2 2027. The latest DLD inspection, on 3 August 2026, put construction at 10.02% complete. MAG first promised completion in Q2 2025 and then Q2 2026, and at the current progress the June 2027 date is unlikely to hold.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 30 Jun 2027 (Project 2924, DLD register via Continental Club)
- Latest construction progress: 10.02% (DLD inspection, 3 Aug 2026)
- Developer's date at launch: Q2 2025 (MAG, 29 Nov 2022)
- Date change since launch: About 2 years later (Q2 2025 at launch, 30 Jun 2027 on the DLD register)

## Keturah Reserve handover date: the latest position

The DLD register shows a registered completion date of 30 June 2027 for Keturah Reserve, MAG's project in MBR City District 7. Portals such as DirectDXB list Q2 2027, in line with the register. Full project details are on the [Keturah Reserve](/projects/keturah-reserve/) page.

The date does not match progress. The DLD inspection on 3 August 2026 put construction at 10.02% complete, with under eleven months left to the registered date. MAG has not published a revised date. Off-Plan Dubai already lists Q4 2027 for the apartment buildings.

## Keturah Reserve handover date by building

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keturah Reserve (project 2924: 93 townhouses, 2 villas, six apartment buildings) | 10.02% (3 August 2026) | 30 June 2027 | Q2 2027 (DirectDXB); Q4 2027 for apartments (Off-Plan Dubai) |

The DLD register holds the whole development as one project. Its filed description lists 93 townhouses, two residential buildings of ground plus 14 floors, four of ground plus 10 floors and two villas, with 644 homes in total (Mitchells, record of 15 June 2026). Continental Club's copy of the register lists 281 units. No separate progress figure is published for the townhouses or for any apartment block. The villa plots are sold as land for buyers to build on, so their timing depends on each owner's own villa.

## How the Keturah Reserve handover date has changed

- **29 November 2022:** MAG launches the AED 3 billion Keturah Reserve and says it is scheduled for completion by Q2 2025 (MAG via PR Newswire; Gulf News).
- **1 December 2022:** registered construction start on the DLD register (Mitchells).
- **26 June 2023:** MAG says the project is scheduled for completion in Q2 2026, with all 93 townhouses sold (Khaleej Times).
- **15 June 2026:** the DLD register record shows a registered completion date of 30 June 2027 (Mitchells).
- **3 August 2026:** DLD inspection records 10.02% complete.

Across these steps the target has moved by about two years, and the current registered date would need about 90 points of progress in eleven months.

## What the Keturah Reserve handover date means for payments

MAG's published plan is 40% during construction and 60% on handover (MAG; DirectDXB, 4 October 2026). For a 1 bedroom apartment listed from AED 3.8 million, that leaves about AED 2.28 million due at handover. Each delay moves that payment later. Some villa listings quote a plan with 10% due on handover and 50% after handover in ten instalments every six months (Palmera), so for those buyers the handover date also sets when the post-handover instalments start.

## What to check before relying on the Keturah Reserve date

1. **The completion date and grace period in the SPA.** Contracts signed in 2022 and 2023 may still carry Q2 2025 or Q2 2026.
2. **Whether the unit is a townhouse, an apartment or a plot.** All share one DLD project and one progress figure, but portals already give the apartments a later date.
3. **The next DLD inspection.** Progress of 10.02% in August 2026 is the benchmark to compare against.
4. **What the SPA says about late delivery**, since the original Q2 2025 date passed more than a year ago.
