When will Cybele by Wadan be handed over?

Wadan Developments has said since launch that Cybele will be handed over in Q4 2027. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) register, where the project appears as Cybele By Wadan (project number 4222), records a completion date of 30 December 2027. The two dates agree. On 27 July 2026 the building was 2.03% complete, so almost all of the construction work is still ahead with about 17 months left before the registered date.

What to check before buying at Cybele by Wadan

  1. The completion date and grace period in the SPA, measured against the slow start: 2.03% after seven months of construction.
  2. Which payment plan the unit is on. The 50/50 plan puts half the price at handover, while the post-handover plan leaves 30% for after the keys.
  3. The furnishing schedule, since the marketing describes furnished apartments and the SPA should list what is included.
  4. The next DLD inspection figure, through the DLD project status service.
