When is the Wellington Ocean Walk handover date?
Short answer
Wellington Ocean Walk has a registered completion date of 16 December 2028, while the developer's stated handover is Q4 2027. The last Dubai Land Department inspection, on 27 July 2026, recorded the building 15.9% complete. At the pace recorded between April and July 2026, the Q4 2027 date would need much faster progress, so the date written into each SPA is the one to rely on.

The date has not moved. What differs is the source: the developer markets Q4 2027, while the register and Property Finder carry 16 December 2028. Progress ran at about three points a month from January to April 2026, then slowed to about one point a month from April to July. To finish by 31 December 2027 the building would need about five points a month from August 2026. Continental Club’s straight-line projection from recent readings gives 9 July 2031, a calculation rather than a developer date.
What the Wellington Ocean Walk handover date means for payments
Both published plans put 45% of the price after handover. Property Finder lists 10% at launch and 45% during construction in seven instalments. Metropolitan lists 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 5% on handover, then 1% a month for 45 months after handover. That makes the handover date the start of almost four years of instalments. If the building completes in December 2028 rather than late 2027, the post-handover schedule would start about a year later and run to around September 2032.
What to check before relying on the Wellington Ocean Walk date
- Which date the SPA states. A contract with Q4 2027 and one with 16 December 2028 give a buyer different rights if the building is late.
- The grace period the SPA allows after that date, before any delay remedy applies.
- How the construction instalments are triggered. Seven instalments tied to dates could run ahead of a site that was 15.9% built in July 2026.
- The next DLD inspection, to see whether progress picks up from the slower April to July 2026 rate.
