Timeline
Property Finder lists the sales launch as April 2017, and Propsearch says construction began the same month. Propsearch records completion in March 2023, and The Skyscraper Center also gives 2023 as the completion year.
Propsearch notes that the original estimated handover was earlier, so the project was delivered later than first planned. That is common for large towers in Dubai.
| Launch to buyers | April 2017 |

| Construction start | April 2017 |

Which building this is
The project has two towers with a podium between them. The developer's project page gives them as 64 and 56 storeys; The Skyscraper Center lists 65 and 55. In Dubai Land Department records the towers are named "The Address Residences Dubai Opera T1" and "T2".
This is a different building from Address Downtown, the older hotel tower beside Burj Lake. The two are often confused in searches.
What a 2023 handover means for guests and tenants
Interiors, lifts and shared facilities are only a few years old. Furnished apartments are typically fitted out by each owner, so finishes vary from unit to unit.
We currently manage nine furnished apartments here: one 1-bedroom (with balcony, pool access and a parking space), six 2-bedrooms (city and skyline views, balconies, one with an EV charger) and two 3-bedrooms (one on a high floor with a Burj Khalifa view, one with a dedicated workspace).
For buyers
Because the building is complete, units now trade as ready property rather than off-plan. Sale records are registered with the Dubai Land Department, and Propsearch shows recent DLD transactions for both towers.
Ask the seller for the title deed, the current service charge figure from the DLD Service Charge Index, and the owners' association contact.
