Risks & source coverage

  • DELIVERY DELAY Expected completion: Q3 2025; delivery began: January 2026; research date: October 14, 2026 Ohana Development’s Ohana by the Sea in Al Jurf was advertised with an expected Q3 2025 completion, but delivery only began in January 2026; the available evidence documents a delayed delivery followed by a reported restart/resolution rather than an active failure as of October 14, 2026.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures.

ProjectOverallStructure & systemsManagement & living
Ohana Hills Phase 2Medyar District, Damour
9.1/ 10
—/ 10
9.1/ 10

The largest published review base located is the 4.7/5 aggregate from 79 reviews for the Ohana Hills place listing, which sets the level and converts to about 9.1/10 under the requested curve. The eight written reviews read were all positive, but they were not used as a separate uplift; structural systems remain unscored because the reviews do not provide engineering or maintenance evidence. The evidence is current as a listing snapshot dated September 14, 2026, but the review excerpts are mostly buyer/site-visit or service comments, so confidence about long-term resident experience and specifically Phase 2 is limited.

+ Contemporary villa design+ Sea views+ Nature-friendly site planning
+ Professional staff+ Responsive service+ Attention to detail+ Peaceful nature-oriented setting+ Sea views and contemporary design

The published reviews praise “contemporary design,” “stunning sea views,” and a “modern, spacious, well-organized and nature friendly” project. These are general design and setting comments rather than verified evidence about structural integrity, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, leaks or waterproofing; no such failure reports were found.

The published feedback is strongly positive about day-to-day interaction: reviewers describe the team as “incredibly professional, responsive, and dedicated,” and another says the project is managed by “honest and determined entrepreneurs & engineers.” The same material praises the views, design and organized setting, but it is primarily buyer/site-visit and company-service feedback rather than a resident-management sample.

Ohana Hills Phase 1Medyar District, Damour
7.0/ 10
—/ 10
7.0/ 10

No applicable independent platform rating was located for Ohana Hills Phase 1, so the score is based on the three written testimonials read. All three were positive, but the small and developer-controlled sample warrants keeping the result below the prose-only ceiling and close to the neutral 6.5 pull.

+ Helpful owners+ Modern and well-organized community+ Friendly and professional team

no notes returned

no links returned

The project website’s customer testimonials are positive: one calls the owners “super helpful and experienced,” while another describes the project as “modern, spacious, well-organized, and nature-friendly.” A third praises “a friendly and professional team”; these are developer-published testimonials rather than independently verified resident reviews.

Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 0 of 2 projects carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 0 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

DELIVERY DELAY Expected completion: Q3 2025; delivery began: January 2026; research date: October 14, 2026
Ohana Development’s Ohana by the Sea in Al Jurf was advertised with an expected Q3 2025 completion, but delivery only began in January 2026; the available evidence documents a delayed delivery followed by a reported restart/resolution rather than an active failure as of October 14, 2026.
