## Short answer

The registered completion date for The Edit at d3 in the DLD project register is 31 January 2030, while Meraas's own sales material estimates June to August 2030. The latest DLD inspection, on 19 August 2026, recorded 0.24% progress. The three towers share one DLD date, but instalment schedules differ by tower, so the SPA for each unit is the date that counts.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 31 Jan 2030 (DLD register via Continental Club, updated 10 Oct 2026)
- Latest construction progress: 0.24% (DLD inspection, 19 Aug 2026)
- Meraas completion estimate: Jun to Aug 2030 (Meraas payment schedule and price sheet, via OffPlan Insider and Mitchells)
- Portal estimate at launch: Q1 2030 (Bayut, 24 Dec 2025)

## The Edit at d3 handover date: the latest position

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) project register lists 31 January 2030 as the registered completion date for The Edit at d3 (DLD register via Continental Club, updated 10 October 2026; Mitchells). Meraas's own sales documents put completion later: June 2030 for the handover instalment in its payment schedule, and August 2030 as its estimate for construction completion in the price and payment plan sheet. Prices, sizes and the plan are on the project page: [The Edit at d3](/projects/the-edit-at-d3/).

Work on site is at the very start. The DLD recorded 0.24% progress on 19 August 2026, about seven months after the registered construction start.

## The Edit at d3 handover date by building

The three towers are registered as one project, number 4177, with one progress figure and one completion date.

|---|---|---|---|
| Tower A (30 floors, 182 homes) | 0.24% for whole project (19 Aug 2026) | 31 Jan 2030 | June to August 2030 (Meraas sales sheets) |
| Tower B (37 floors, 177 homes) | 0.24% for whole project (19 Aug 2026) | 31 Jan 2030 | June to August 2030 (Meraas sales sheets) |

Floor counts are from the DLD register via Continental Club. Homes per tower are from Meraas's unit mix, via Mitchells.

## What The Edit at d3 handover date means for payments

The plan is 20% on booking, 55% in six instalments during construction and 25% on handover (Mitchells; Bayut). The construction instalments run on fixed calendar dates, ending in March 2028 for one release and October 2028 for Tower C (OffPlan Insider; Home4you). That means 75% of the price is paid well over a year before the earliest completion date. The final 25% is tied to handover: on a 1 bedroom at the DLD median of AED 2.44 million, about AED 610,000.

## What to check before relying on The Edit at d3 date

1. **The tower and its instalment calendar**, since releases carry different dates.
2. **The completion date written into the SPA**, compared with the DLD date of 31 January 2030 and Meraas's estimates of June to August 2030.
3. **The next DLD inspections**, which will show whether work has moved beyond the 0.24% recorded in August 2026.
