Solara Tower

When will Solara Tower be handed over?

The DLD project register gives Solara Tower a registered completion date of 15 August 2027. SOL Properties and Fairmont Hotels and Resorts launched the tower, marketed as Fairmont Residences Solara Tower, on 5 July 2024 with completion “by Q3 of 2027” (PR Newswire). The two dates agree. Portals give Q3 2027, September 2027 or Q4 2027.

The tower is registered as DLD project 2928, “Solara Tower Dubai”, in the Burj Khalifa area, the DLD name for Downtown Dubai. At its latest inspection, on 30 June 2026, it was 20.73% complete, leaving about 79 points to finish in the 13 and a half months to the registered date.

Building-by-building dates and how the date has changed: Solara Tower handover date.

Solara Tower construction update

The DLD register records construction starting on 1 August 2024 and registration on 12 August 2024. The filed design is four basements, ground, mezzanine, three podium levels and 51 floors. The DLD inspection on 30 June 2026 put it at 20.73% (Continental Club; fäm Properties). Dubainary gives the construction start as Q3 2024 and progress of about 21%, matching the register.

Solara Tower homes and sizes

The 55 storey tower has 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and 5 bedroom duplex penthouses (Aigents Realty; Dubainary). Sources disagree on the unit count: the DLD register lists 231 units (Continental Club; Dubai Data), Mitchell’s counts 247 homes and agent pages give 246.

Figures are from 88 DLD sales between 30 April 2025 and 29 July 2026 (Mitchell’s, 23 September 2026). Dubainary lists sizes up to 5,322 sq ft.

Solara Tower prices and resale

Listings in 2025 and early 2026 put 1 bedrooms from AED 2.7 million to AED 2.9 million (Lenest Properties; Excel Properties; Dubai Asset, 15 March 2026). Dubainary now shows a starting price of AED 4.9 million.

In the DLD register, 88 sales registered between 30 April 2025 and 29 July 2026 at a median of AED 7.57 million and AED 3,430 per sq ft. The quarterly median rose from AED 3,070 per sq ft in Q2 2025 to AED 3,462 in Q3 2025. Mitchell’s puts the tower’s median about 10% below the off-plan median for the Burj Khalifa area, AED 3,817 per sq ft, without adjusting for unit mix or view. All registered sales were before completion.

Solara Tower payment plan

SOL sells on a 60/40 plan. The schedule on most broker pages is:

• 5% on booking
• 15% on or before signing the SPA
• 10% each at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months from booking
• 40% on handover

Some agents show the first 20% as one payment on signing (Dubai Asset). For a buyer who booked at launch in July 2024, the last construction instalment fell due around July 2026, leaving 40% for handover.

Solara Tower developer and delivery record

SOL Properties was founded in 1974 under the Bhatia Group and says it has delivered more than 250 projects, including residential, commercial and hotel buildings (PR Newswire, 5 July 2024). Fairmont’s role is as the residence brand and service operator through Accor One Living.
