For off-plan buyers, the handover date often matters more than the launch price. It determines when rental income begins, when final payments fall due and when post-handover payment plans start. In September 2026, Tiger Properties handed over four towers in Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT). Its development pipeline now extends to the end of 2028. This guide sets out the status of each project, based on developer updates, Dubai Land Department (DLD) registry data and current project listings.
How to read this timeline
Handover dates in the UAE are targets, not guarantees. They depend on construction progress, inspections and the issue of completion certificates. In Dubai, off-plan handover dates are filed with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), and they can change if the developer revises its delivery schedule. The dates below reflect the latest public information as of 19 October 2026. For a contractual answer, owners should refer to their Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) and the project’s DLD record.
For scale, the DLD registry lists Tiger Properties with 16 completed projects and 10 under construction as of September 2026. The latest scheduled handover among the projects under construction is December 2028.
Delivered: four JVT towers in September 2026
Tiger completed four handovers in JVT in September 2026. Owners at Lilium Tower and Seslia Tower received their keys that month, the first residents of Altai Tower moved in, and Elbrus Tower was also handed over.
Each building adds a substantial number of homes to the district:
- Seslia: 36 floors, with 360 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
- Elbrus: 271 units.
- Altai: 26 storeys, in the centre of JVT.
These deliveries follow earlier completions in JVT and Business Bay:

What this means for owners and investors
Handover dates also indicate when new rental supply will enter a neighbourhood. Tiger’s 2026–2028 deliveries are concentrated in JVT and JVC, where much of Dubai’s wider supply is also scheduled. Business Bay, JVC, Dubai South, Dubai Science Park and Dubai Hills Estate together account for more than a third of Dubai’s projected near-term handovers. Investors in these areas should expect stronger competition for tenants in the first year after completion and set rents accordingly.
For owners on post-handover payment plans, the handover date also triggers the instalment schedule. A delay defers those payments, while early completion brings them forward. Buyers should maintain reserves that allow for either outcome.
How to verify your project’s handover date
Owners can confirm the position through three checks:
- The DLD record. Confirm the project’s registered status and completion percentage.
- The SPA. It sets out the contractual completion date and any grace period.
- The escrow arrangements. Payments for Dubai off-plan projects are held in a project-specific escrow account. Owners should confirm that their payments are going to the account for the correct project, and check its RERA registration, rather than relying on marketing material or the group name.
Conclusion
Tiger Properties’ 2026 delivery record so far rests on JVT, where four towers were handed over in September, adding hundreds of new homes to one of Dubai’s most established mid-market districts. The next two years are more ambitious:
- a waterfront tower in Sharjah
- a lagoon-front master community in Ajman
- a Business Bay skyscraper designed to set a global height record
For owners, the advice is the same at every stage. Treat published dates as targets, verify them against the DLD record and the SPA, and plan finances around a realistic window rather than a fixed date.
