What to check before booking
- Which phase you are buying into, since Distrikt, Lacina, Serra, Cilia and Arista each have their own price, plan and handover date.
- The construction percentage for that phase, where published, such as Serra’s 18% figure, which will move as building progresses.
- The exact payment plan for your unit, since Distrikt alone has two different published options.
- The DLD project status for your building, through DLD’s project status enquiry service.
