Object 1 track record: what's delivered, what's being built, and how to check it

Which projects has Object 1 delivered?

RA1N Residence (handed over Q1 2026) and V1ter Residence (handed over Q3 2026). Both are finished, occupied buildings, which makes them the most useful thing to look at before you buy off-plan: the build quality, finishes and common areas are there to see, not just in renders.

From abroad, ask us for a video walk-through of a completed building and a finished unit. If you are in Dubai, ask to visit.

Which Object 1 projects are under construction, and when are they due?

32 projects are under construction, with handovers scheduled between Q4 2026 and Q2 2029; 4 projects have a published date that has already passed. The table reads each status and date live from the project pages. A handover date is the developer's target; the contractual date is the one in your Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Have Object 1 handovers been on time?

Not always. 1WOOD Residence, Ozone 1 Residence, Evergr1n House 4 and EVERGR1N House 2 are still under construction after the handover date first published. Off-plan dates in Dubai often move, so we don't print a new date for these until it is confirmed: ask us for the current schedule and DLD's latest completion percentage.

Your Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) states the contractual completion date and what happens if it slips. Read that clause before you sign, together with the one on your own late payments.

How is your money protected when you buy off-plan from Object 1?

By Dubai law, not by trust. Off-plan payments go into an escrow account opened for that one project, used only to build it and out of reach of the developer's creditors, and every off-plan sale must be registered with the Dubai Land Department or it is void. That applies to every Object 1 project in Dubai.

• Escrow. Law No. 8 of 2007 requires a separate escrow account for each project, used only for building it, and holds back 5% for a year after units are registered to buyers. If a project is not completed, the escrow agent must work with DLD to finish it or refund the depositors.
• Registration. Law No. 13 of 2008 makes any off-plan sale that is not entered in the interim register void, and bars off-plan sales in projects without the required approvals. DLD registers the sale (Oqood) and emails the certificate to the buyer.
• Pay only into the escrow account printed in your SPA, and confirm it by phone with us before the first transfer. Treat any emailed change of bank details as fraud until proven otherwise.

A1LA Residence is on Al Reem Island, in Abu Dhabi, where Abu Dhabi's own rules and supervised escrow apply instead of the Dubai laws above.

How can you check an Object 1 project yourself from abroad?

Three checks, none of which needs our word for it: look the project up on DLD's Project Status Enquiry for its completion percentage, make sure your SPA names the project's escrow account, and keep the Oqood certificate DLD emails you once the sale is registered.

1. Before you reserve: check the completion percentage on DLD's Project Status Enquiry and ask us for the project's DLD number if you can't find it by name.
2. Before you sign: read the completion date, the delay clause and the escrow account details in the SPA.
3. After you pay the booking: DLD registers the sale on the interim register and emails you the Oqood certificate. If it doesn't arrive, ask us why before paying anything more.
4. During construction: check DLD's completion percentage again before each instalment that is linked to construction progress.

What changes when you buy directly from Object 1?

You deal with Object 1's own sales team, on the developer's price list and payment plan, with no agency commission. The same projects are advertised by many brokers, but the unit, the escrow account and the SPA are the developer's either way, so whoever you buy through, ask which escrow account your money goes to.
