When will Nad Al Sheba Gardens be handed over?
Nad Al Sheba Gardens is built and released in phases by Meraas, so there is no single handover date for the community. The clearest recent figures cover Phase 3 and Phase 7.
| Phase | Launched | Published handover | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 3 | Jan 2023 | Apr 2026 | Under construction, 97% complete (DLD register, 28 Sep 2026), now overdue |
| Phase 4 | Not published | Not published | Under construction (Propsearch) |
| Phase 7 | Jan 2025 | 31 Aug 2028 | Under construction |
| Phase 11 | Dec 2025 | Not published | Newly launched, includes a school (Propsearch) |
Phase 3 is the one with a clear overdue date. The Dubai Land Department register, checked on 28 September 2026, showed it at 97% complete, about five months after its published April 2026 handover date, and its status had not yet moved to finished. Handover dates for earlier phases have not been published, but Meraas opened phase 1 of the community’s mall in August 2026, which suggests parts of the wider community are already occupied.

Prices have risen phase on phase as the community has built out, from villas and townhouses to a broader mix of unit sizes. Check the price and size for the exact phase and unit you are looking at, since figures are not comparable across phases.
What to check before booking
- The exact phase number on any listing, since Nad Al Sheba Gardens now runs to at least 11 phases with different prices, sizes and dates.
- The DLD project status for your specific phase and building, through the Dubai Land Department’s project status enquiry service.
- Whether a published handover date has already passed, as with Phase 3, and ask Meraas for written confirmation of the current position if it has.
- The payment plan for your phase, since the split between construction and handover instalments is not the same across the community.
