The Dubai Land Department (DLD) project register gives 171 Garden Heights, DLD project 3127, a registered completion date of 31 December 2026. Continental Club shows a developer-supplied handover of Q4 2026, and Propsearch lists December 2026 (updated 7 January 2026). Progress points to a later finish. The latest DLD inspection, on 8 June 2026, recorded 33.66% (Continental Club, registry updated 7 October 2026). Reaching 100% by 31 December 2026 would need about 66 points in under seven months, close to 10 points a month. The building averaged 2.51 points a month up to June 2026. At that pace, Continental Club estimates completion around 21 August 2028, which it labels an estimate and not a developer commitment. JAD Global had not published a revised date by 11 October 2026.
