## Short answer

Maison Margiela Residences has a registered completion date of 27 March 2028, and brokers give Q1 2028. The last Dubai Land Department inspection, on 5 October 2026, recorded 6.38% complete, up from 5.87% in July. At the pace recorded so far, the registered date is unlikely to be met unless construction speeds up sharply.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date: 27 Mar 2028 (DLD project register via Continental Club and Mitchells)
- Latest construction progress: 6.38% (DLD inspection, 5 Oct 2026)
- Broker date: Q1 2028 (Palmera; OPR; handover payment 28 Mar 2028 (dxboffplan))
- Estimate at earlier pace: About Dec 2044 (Continental Club calculation at 0.43 points a month, not a developer date)

## Maison Margiela Residences handover date: the latest position

Maison Margiela Residences is registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) for completion on 27 March 2028. At the last DLD inspection, on 5 October 2026, the building was 6.38% complete. Prices, sizes and the payment plan are on the project page: [Maison Margiela Residences](/projects/maison-margiela-residences/).

Brokers list Q1 2028, and a published payment schedule puts the handover payment on 28 March 2028. Alta has not published a separate date. The building gained 0.51 points between July and October 2026. To finish by 27 March 2028 it would need more than five points a month for the remaining 17 to 18 months.

## Maison Margiela Residences handover date by building

The project is one building of 25 homes on the East Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, registered under the same name (DLD project 3716) by Alta Real Estate Development.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maison Margiela Residences (25 homes, B + G + 12 + roof) | 6.38% (5 Oct 2026) | 27 Mar 2028 | Q1 2028 (Palmera; OPR); handover payment 28 Mar 2028 (dxboffplan) |

## How the Maison Margiela Residences handover date has changed

| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 28 Mar 2025 | Registered construction start; completion set for 27 Mar 2028 | DLD via Continental Club and Mitchells |
| 18 Aug 2025 | DLD inspection: 1.43% | DLD via Continental Club |
| 22 Sep 2025 | DLD inspection: 1.89% | DLD via Continental Club |
| 21 Oct 2025 | Project announced and registered; Q1 2028 handover | Alta; dxboffplan |
| 31 Mar 2026 | DLD inspection: 4.05% | DLD via Continental Club |
| 2 Jul 2026 | DLD inspection: 5.87% | DLD via Mitchells and Continental Club |
| 5 Oct 2026 | DLD inspection: 6.38% | DLD via Continental Club |

The registered date has held since the start. Over the 18 months to October 2026 the building averaged about 0.35 points a month. Continental Club's straight-line estimate at 0.43 points a month gives 100% around 15 December 2044. That figure is a calculation, not a forecast, but it shows the gap between recorded progress and the March 2028 date.

## What the Maison Margiela Residences handover date means for payments

Dxboffplan's schedule shows 5% on booking, 15% one month later, then 10% on each of 30 June 2026, 31 December 2026, 30 June 2027 and 31 October 2027, with 40% on handover. The construction instalments are tied to calendar dates, not to progress. A buyer on this schedule would have paid 60% by 31 October 2027, even if the building is then well short of completion. Only the final 40%, AED 6.6 million on a AED 16.5 million 2 bedroom, waits for handover.

## What to check before relying on the Maison Margiela Residences date

1. **Whether the SPA ties instalments to dates or to construction stages.** The published schedule uses fixed dates.
2. **The SPA completion date and grace period**, against the registered 27 March 2028.
3. **The escrow account named in the SPA**, against the Emirates NBD escrow account on the register.
4. **The next DLD inspection**, which will show whether the pace has moved beyond about half a point a quarter.
