Phase 12 Launch and EOI

Meraas had announced no launch date for Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 12 by Nov 12, 2026. Registered brokers are taking expressions of interest, the EOI amount and refund terms are unpublished, and the payment plan points to sales opening around November 2026.

On Nov 12, 2026 there is no announced launch date for Phase 12. Meraas has issued no press release, Dubai Holding's media hub lists none, and Meraas's project page still reads "Sold Out". The phase is being offered through a briefing to registered brokers, who collect expressions of interest (EOIs) ahead of the sale.

The dates that are floating around, and why we trust none of them

Property portals have listed a "Phase 12" since early 2026, with sale-start dates and handovers that disagree with each other and with Meraas's November material: one sale start of Mar 1, 2026, handovers of August 2029 and the third quarter of 2029. Meraas's own payment plan says June 2030, and its site carries floor plan files named for Phase 12 in a folder dated March 2026, which may be where the early listings began. We treat the November 2026 briefing as the only developer document, and it gives no launch day.

Homes.me's launch tracker counts down to Nov 13, 2026 and labels that its best guess. The reasoning is the payment plan's rhythm (Phase 12 Payment Plan): installments five to six months apart back from April 2027 put the booking payment in late 2026. That is an estimate from a broker and from us, not a date from Meraas.

How an EOI works here

An expression of interest is a registration, usually with a deposit, that puts a buyer in line before sales open. It does not reserve a specific plot and does not guarantee one (EOI, in Homes.me's glossary). For Phase 12 the steps are, in order:

Register with a Meraas-registered broker, or through the form on Meraas's own page.
Receive the price list, floor plans and payment plan. The starting prices and plans are already public; the plot-level list is what registration adds.
Pay the EOI deposit once Meraas states the amount and terms. Ask for the refund terms in writing first.
At launch, choose from what is offered. With 29 plots, any choice will be narrow.
Pay the 20% booking amount and the 4% land department registration, and sign the sale agreement.

0:12 Meraas's pitch for the community is set out in its own film: "more than just a place to live. It's a place to build your legacy." That is the seller's line. What a buyer can check before paying an EOI is narrower: whether the phase is on the land department's register with an escrow account, which plot is on offer and its size, and what the agreement says about the handover date.

What we think

We think the first registered Phase 12 sale appears on the Dubai Land Department's records before the end of January 2027. Phase 11 was announced on Dec 4, 2025 and its first sale was registered on Dec 24, 2025, three weeks later.

Confidence: Likely. Check by: Jan 2027.
