Tilal Al Ghaf
Majid Al Futtaim's lagoon villa and townhouse community off Hessa Street. Most early clusters are handed over, with later phases due 2026 to 2027.
Short answer
Tilal Al Ghaf hands over in phases, not on one date. Early clusters, including Elan, Aura, Alaya, Harmony and Elysian Mansions, are already handed over. Amara and Plagette 32 are due in Q4 2026, Lanai Islands in Q3 2026, and Bo Monde and Serenity Mansions in Q4 2027 (Property Finder, Sep 2026). In June 2026 Majid Al Futtaim sent buyer notices about regional supply chain pressure, which it said were standard SPA notifications and did not change delivery dates (Gulf News, 12 Jun 2026).

When will Tilal Al Ghaf be handed over?
Tilal Al Ghaf is a master community built in phases since 2020, so there is no single handover date. Several clusters are already handed over. The table below covers the phases still under construction or recently launched.
| Cluster | Home type | Published handover | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elan, Aura, Alaya, Harmony, Elysian Mansions | Townhouses, villas, mansions | Delivered, 2021 to 2024 | Handed over |
| Lanai Islands | Villas | Q3 2026 | Under construction |
| Amara | Twin villas | Q4 2026 | Under construction |
| Plagette 32 | Villas | Q4 2026 | Under construction |
| Bo Monde | Villas | Q4 2027 | Under construction |
| Serenity Mansions | Mansions | Q4 2027 | Under construction |
Dates are Property Finder’s published estimates for each phase, checked 28 September 2026. In June 2026, Gulf News reported that buyers across specific project phases received notices referencing supply chain pressure affecting Dubai’s construction sector. Majid Al Futtaim said these were standard notifications permitted under the SPA and that construction across Tilal Al Ghaf was progressing to schedule, with no change to delivery timelines.
What is the Tilal Al Ghaf payment plan?
The two current phases with published terms, Amara and Plagette 32, both use the same structure: 10% at booking, 50% during construction and 40% on handover.
Worked example. Amara is listed from AED 6.7 million. On a unit at that price:
| Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| 10% booking payment | AED 670,000 |
| 4% DLD registration fee (paid at booking) | AED 268,000 |
| Total due at booking | AED 938,000 |
| 50% during construction | AED 3,350,000 |
| 40% on handover | AED 2,680,000 |
This example uses Amara’s published price and plan and the standard 4% Dubai Land Department fee. It is not a quote for any specific unit. No current Tilal Al Ghaf phase offers a post-handover payment plan, so the balance is due in full once the unit is delivered.
What do homes at Tilal Al Ghaf cost?
Prices vary widely across the community’s different clusters. Elan, the first release, launched from AED 1.26 million for a three-bedroom townhouse in January 2020. The community’s most recent phases are priced much higher: Amara from AED 6.7 million and Plagette 32 from AED 7.8 million to 9.6 million, both for four and five-bedroom villas. These are different products at different points in the community’s build-out, not a like-for-like price rise on the same unit type.
Who is the developer and what is its handover record?
Majid Al Futtaim delivered Elan, the community’s first phase, on schedule: 300 townhouses sold out within three weeks of launch in January 2020, and the phase was handed over as part of the community’s early build-out. The June 2026 buyer notices reported by Gulf News did not, according to the developer, change any published handover date, though they were prominent enough to draw press coverage and buyer questions.
What to check before booking
- The handover date for your specific cluster, not the community name. Tilal Al Ghaf spans clusters delivered as early as 2021 and as late as Q4 2027.
- Whether your project has a post-handover payment plan. Published terms for current phases show none, so the final 40% is due at handover.
- The June 2026 buyer notices, if your cluster received one, and what Majid Al Futtaim’s written response says about your specific building.
- The DLD project status for your building or plot, through the Dubai Land Department’s project status enquiry service.
Questions buyers also ask
Is all of Tilal Al Ghaf handed over?
No. Elan, Aura, Alaya, Harmony and Elysian Mansions are handed over and marked ready by Property Finder. Lanai Islands is due Q3 2026, Amara and Plagette 32 in Q4 2026, and Bo Monde and Serenity Mansions in Q4 2027.
Did Majid Al Futtaim delay any Tilal Al Ghaf handover?
Gulf News reported in June 2026 that buyers received notices referencing regional supply chain pressure. Majid Al Futtaim said these were standard procedural notifications under the SPA and did not indicate a change to delivery timelines (Gulf News, 12 Jun 2026).
What is the payment plan for current Tilal Al Ghaf phases?
Amara and Plagette 32 both list 10% at launch, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. Older phases such as Elan offered different terms, including a six year plan with payments continuing after handover.
Does any Tilal Al Ghaf project offer a post-handover payment plan?
No. As of the most recent published terms, no active Tilal Al Ghaf project offers payments after handover, so the full balance is due once you receive your unit.
How much have prices risen since launch?
Elan townhouses launched from AED 1.26 million in January 2020. The community's current entry price is Amara from AED 6.7 million, though this compares an early affordable phase with a later, larger villa product rather than the same unit type.
Where do I check the handover date for my own unit?
The completion date in your sale and purchase agreement, and the Dubai Land Department's project status enquiry service for your specific building or plot.
