## Short answer

Orla by Omniyat has a registered completion date of 31 December 2026 on the Dubai Land Department (DLD) register, while Omniyat's own August 2026 update targets the Building Completion Certificate in early 2027. The DLD inspection of 21 August 2026 recorded 70.01% complete, up from 60.02% on 18 May 2026. Propsearch's earlier estimate of Q2 2026 has passed, so the date has moved back by at least six months.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 31 Dec 2026 (DLD register, via JRE Dubai and Property Finder, accessed 1 Oct 2026)
- Latest construction progress: 70.01% (DLD site inspection, 21 Aug 2026)
- Developer's stated date: Early 2027 (Building Completion Certificate target, Omniyat, Aug 2026)
- Date change since launch: Q2 2026 to early 2027 (Propsearch estimate against Omniyat's Aug 2026 target)

## Orla by Omniyat handover date: the latest position

Orla by Omniyat has a registered completion date of 31 December 2026, but Omniyat's own target is now early 2027. Its August 2026 construction update says the project is on track for the Building Completion Certificate by early 2027, the certificate that comes before keys are released. The DLD inspection of 21 August 2026 recorded 70.01% complete. More on prices and floor plans is on the [Orla by Omniyat](/projects/orla-omniyat/) page.

Orla gained 9.99 points between the DLD inspections of 18 May and 21 August 2026. To finish by the registered date, the remaining 29.99 points would need to be built in just over four months from the August inspection, which is consistent with Omniyat placing certification in early 2027 rather than within 2026.

## Orla by Omniyat handover date by building

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orla, Dorchester Collection (2 basements, ground, 13 floors and roof; 90 homes) | 70.01%, 21 Aug 2026 | 31 Dec 2026 | Early 2027, completion certificate (Omniyat); Q4 2026 (Property Finder); Q2 2026 (Propsearch, passed) |

Orla is a single building, DLD project 2455, made of three staggered towers joined into one form on the Palm Crescent. The apartments, duplexes, triplexes and the two beachfront villas all share the one registered date.

## What the Orla by Omniyat handover date means for payments

Property Finder lists 5% at booking, 45% during construction in three instalments and 50% on handover. Half the price therefore falls due at handover, so a move from late 2026 into early 2027 also moves the largest payment. On the AED 22 million launch price reported by The National, that payment is AED 11 million; Property Finder gives a launch price of AED 24 million, which would make it AED 12 million.

## What to check before relying on the Orla by Omniyat date

1. **The date and grace period in the SPA**, measured against Omniyat's early 2027 certificate target rather than the 31 December 2026 registered date alone.
2. **When the 50% handover payment is triggered** under the SPA: on the completion certificate, or on the handover notice that follows it.
3. **For a resale, which of the three construction instalments the seller has paid**, since the rest passes to the buyer.
4. **The next inspection figure for project 2455** through DLD's project status service, to see whether progress has sped up from about 3.3 points a month.
