About Ellington Properties Dubai

Ellington Properties is a Dubai-based developer founded in 2014, built by a team that includes former Emaar executives. Rather than competing on scale, Ellington has built its name around design-led, boutique communities, offering off plan properties with a level of architectural detail and finish quality that tends to sit above standard buildings in the same neighborhoods. The company is headquartered in Burlington Tower, Business Bay, and has grown into one of Dubai's most recognized names in the mid-to-premium off plan market.

Where Ellington Builds Off Plan Properties in Dubai

Ellington's largest concentration of off plan projects is in Jumeirah Village Circle, where communities like Belgravia and Eaton Place were among the developer's earliest launches. Belgravia, designed with architecture firm Perkins+Will, offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and was one of the first projects to establish Ellington's design-focused reputation in Dubai. Eaton Place, also in JVC, offers studios and 1 to 2 bedroom apartments built around a resort-style pool courtyard.

In Dubai Hills Estate, Ellington House has become one of the developer's flagship addresses, winning Best Kitchen Design, Best Residential Interior Show Home and Best Bathroom Design at the 2023 to 2024 International Property Awards. The area gives residents direct access to an 18-hole golf course, Dubai Hills Mall, and King's College Hospital.

In Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Ellington operates Eaton Square, the developer's first commercial tower, alongside ultra-luxury villa communities within The Sanctuary. This includes the Waterside Villas, starting from AED 17,000,000 with a 60/40 payment plan and handover set for Q4 2025, and Lakeshore, a gated villa community starting from AED 12,900,000 with a 70/30 payment plan and handover by Q4 2026.

On Palm Jumeirah, Ellington Ocean House offers 2 to 6 bedroom residences, currently under construction with handover expected in Q4 2028. Ellington also has a smaller collection of Palm Villas on the island, aimed at buyers seeking private beach access alongside a full-size swimming pool.

In Business Bay and Sobha Hartland, Ellington's projects include The Highbury, starting from AED 820,000, along with newer launches in Bukadra such as Highgrove, starting from AED 1,700,000, and Claydon House, starting from AED 1,560,000, both scheduled for completion in Q4 2027.

In Jumeirah Lake Towers and Uptown Dubai, Ellington's Mercer House and Upper House add to the developer's presence in established, transport-connected districts close to the metro.

Ellington Off Plan Properties on Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands has become one of Ellington's key growth areas, with two active off plan developments currently on sale. Ellington Sands offers studios and 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, along with 3 bedroom duplexes and 4 bedroom penthouses, with 1 bedroom units starting from AED 1,700,000 for sizes between roughly 720 and 980 square feet. This works out to an entry price of approximately AED 1,900 to 2,350 per square foot at launch, though resale listings on the secondary market are currently trading higher, averaging around AED 2,700 to 3,300 per square foot as the project moves closer to its Q2 2028 handover. Ellington Sands is sold on a 70/30 payment plan, with 70 percent paid during construction and 30 percent due on handover.

Ellington Cove, located on Island A of Dubai Islands, offers 1 to 4 bedroom apartments and penthouses, with 1 bedroom units starting from AED 2,100,000 for approximately 816 square feet, working out to roughly AED 2,570 per square foot at launch. Ellington Cove is sold on a 20/50/30 payment plan and is scheduled for handover in Q2 2028. Both projects offer direct or nearby beach access, multiple swimming pools, a beach club, and views across the Arabian Gulf toward the Dubai skyline. Prices and per-square-foot figures for both projects are based on current developer and resale listing data and are subject to change as units sell and construction progresses.

Payment Plans for Ellington Off Plan Properties

Most Ellington off plan projects are sold on a 70/30 structure, meaning 70 percent of the purchase price is paid in installments during construction, with the remaining 30 percent due on handover. Some newer launches, including Ellington Sands, use a 20/50/30 structure instead, spreading payments more evenly across the construction period. As with any off plan purchase in Dubai, funds are held in a DLD-approved escrow account, and buyers should confirm the exact payment schedule and handover date directly with the sales team before booking, since terms can vary by project and change over time.
