When will HQ by Rove be handed over?
IRTH gives an anticipated handover of Q1 2029 for HQ by Rove. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) project register lists the project as Hq By Rove, number 4143, with a registered completion date of 31 March 2029, so the developer date and the registered date agree. The register shows the project registered on 22 October 2025 and construction starting on 15 December 2025.
The latest DLD inspection, on 6 July 2026, recorded 0.7% of construction complete (DLD project register via Continental Club, registry updated 8 October 2026). The project is in its foundation stage, with about 32 months left to the registered date at that point.
Building-by-building dates and how the date has changed: HQ by Rove handover date.
HQ by Rove construction update
Three DLD inspections are on record: 0% on 8 October 2025, 0.06% on 23 March 2026 and 0.7% on 6 July 2026. No newer inspection had been published by 11 October 2026. IRTH’s payment plan ties three instalments to progress milestones of 40%, 60% and 80%, with backstop dates of 1 December 2027, 1 May 2028 and 1 November 2028, which gives a guide to the pace the developer planned.

Its two earliest towers were still under construction in 2026. Rove Home Downtown, its first project, had a registered completion date of 30 April 2026 but was 62.69% complete at a DLD inspection on 9 June 2026. Rove Home Marasi Drive was 10% complete on 6 July 2026 against a registered completion date of 31 August 2027 (DLD register via Mitchell’s). HQ by Rove is IRTH’s first office project.
What to check before buying at HQ by Rove
- How the office will be used. The units come furnished under the Rove brand. Any rental or operating arrangement, and its fees, will be in the SPA and brand documents.
- The completion date and grace period in the SPA. IRTH’s first Rove Home tower passed its registered date before reaching 63%.
- The 50% completion payment. Half the price falls due on handover. Lenders apply different rules to commercial units than to homes.
- The service charge. No budget for HQ by Rove had been published by October 2026, and the 120,000 sq ft amenity offer will shape it.
