When is the Wellington Grand Villas handover date?
Short answer
Wellington Grand Villas has a registered completion date of 24 January 2028, and the developer's handover target is Q4 2027. The last Dubai Land Department inspection, on 27 July 2026, recorded the 22 villas 50.91% complete, up from 37.78% on 23 April 2026. The developer's quarter is earlier than the registered date, so the SPA date for each villa is the one that applies.

Wellington Grand Villas handover date: the latest position
Wellington Grand Villas is registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) for completion on 24 January 2028. Brokers selling for Wellington Developments give a handover target of Q4 2027, a quarter earlier. Prices, sizes and the developer’s record are on the project page: Wellington Grand Villas.
The last DLD inspection, on 27 July 2026, recorded the 22 villas 50.91% complete. That was 13.13 points higher than the inspection of 23 April 2026, a pace of about 4.4 points a month. At that pace the remaining work would take about a year from July 2026, which fits within both the Q4 2027 target and the registered January 2028 date.

What the Wellington Grand Villas handover date means for payments
Under the published 35/65 plan, 65% of the price falls due on handover, with no post-handover instalments listed. Continental Club gives 10% down and 25% during construction; Augusta Properties gives 20% on booking and 15% during construction. On a villa at the AED 18 million starting price, the handover payment is about AED 11.7 million. The handover notice therefore sets the date for most of the price.
What to check before relying on the Wellington Grand Villas date
- Which date the SPA uses. The developer’s Q4 2027 and the registered 24 January 2028 differ by up to a quarter.
- The next DLD inspection. The April to July 2026 pace needs to continue for Q4 2027 to hold.
- Whether all 22 villas hand over together. DLD tracks the project as one registration, so the developer’s handover notice is the only place a villa-by-villa schedule would appear.
