When is the Reportage Village handover date?

Updated 11 October 2026 Reportage Village

Short answer

Reportage Village's registered completion date at the Dubai Land Department (DLD) is 31 December 2027, matching the Q4 2027 handover Reportage has marketed since launch in 2023. The DLD inspection on 20 August 2026 recorded 25.04% complete, while Reportage's own page shows 35%. About three quarters of the work, on DLD's figure, remained with 16 months to go, so the SPA date and grace period are the terms to check.

Reportage Village handover date: the latest position

Reportage Village, a community of 1,767 townhouses by Reportage Properties in Dubailand, has a registered completion date of 31 December 2027 at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), where it is filed as “Reportage Village 1”. Reportage and the portals give Q4 2027, the date advertised since launch. Full project details are on the Reportage Village page.

The DLD inspection on 20 August 2026 recorded 25.04% complete (DLD project register via Continental Club, inspection 20 August 2026). Reportage’s own project page shows 35%, without a date. Both figures leave most of the work for the 16 months before the registered date.

Oct 2026 Q4 2027 still marketed; Reportage page shows 35% Reportage

The date has not changed since launch. What stands out is the pace: DLD’s figure rose to 25.04% over 32 months, and 75% of the work is left for the final 16 months of the four year programme.

What the Reportage Village handover date means for payments

The launch plans put a large share of the price at handover: 44% on the 10% down plan and 34% on the 20% down plan, after 1% monthly instalments from January 2024 (DirectSB). Those plans scheduled the handover payment for November 2027. The 70/30 plan listed in July 2026 leaves 30% for handover (Sales Office Dubai). If completion moves past 31 December 2027, that payment moves with it.

What to check before relying on the Reportage Village date

  1. The handover instalment date in the SPA. Launch plans set it for November 2027, ahead of the registered completion date.
  2. The grace period. With 25.04% recorded in August 2026, the SPA’s grace period may matter more here than at projects further along.
  3. Which progress figure the payments follow. DLD’s inspected figure and the developer’s 35% differ by about 10 points.
  4. Phasing on site. A single DLD record covers all 1,753 units, so ask whether the cluster of a given unit is planned to be finished first or last.

Questions buyers also ask

Is Reportage Village finished?

No. The DLD inspection on 20 August 2026 recorded 25.04% complete, and the register still listed it as under construction on 4 October 2026 (Mitchells).

What is the Reportage Village completion date?

The completion date on file at DLD is 31 December 2027, for the project registered as Reportage Village 1. Reportage markets Q4 2027.

Has the Reportage Village handover date been delayed?

Not on paper. The Q4 2027 date given at launch and the registered date of 31 December 2027 are unchanged as of October 2026. Progress of 25.04% after 32 months of a 48 month programme leaves most of the work for the last 16 months.

Why do DLD and Reportage give different progress figures?

DLD's 25.04% comes from its inspection on 20 August 2026. Reportage's page shows 35% without a date or method. Construction-linked payments are released against DLD-certified progress, not the developer's page.
