What happened: the official inspection record

The Dubai Land Department inspects registered projects and records a completion percentage at each visit. This is the recorded history for Dubai Life Style City — the clearest public evidence of what happened on site.

10 March 2014

78.40% complete
5 December 2013

17.15% complete
15 May 2013

11.50% complete

Reading the pattern: repeated inspections returning the same percentage over 12 years indicate a site where work stopped rather than one progressing slowly. The structure recorded at 17.2% is, on this evidence, standing incomplete.

If you bought into Dubai Life Style City

Your money should be in escrow. Dubai law requires off-plan payments to be held in a RERA-regulated escrow account, administered here by Bank Of Baroda. When the DLD cancels a project, the Real Estate Judicial Committee oversees liquidation of that escrow and the refund process for buyers.

What to do: contact the Dubai Land Department with your contract and payment records and ask for the current status of the project file and the liquidation process. Keep every receipt, SPA and Oqood registration document. Refund outcomes depend on what remains in escrow and on the committee's determination, so take legal advice specific to your contract rather than relying on general guidance.

Checking a project before you buy

The pattern behind most entries in the cancellation registry is consistent: payments made outside a registered escrow account, a developer with no completed projects to inspect, or a location with no surrounding infrastructure at the time of launch. Before committing to any off-plan purchase, confirm the project is RERA-registered, confirm the escrow account exists and that your payments go into it, and go and physically look at something the developer has already delivered.
