Al Jaddaf · Ellington Properties
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
A residential building in Al Jaddaf, currently under construction. Developer — Ellington Properties.
Specifications for Art Bay as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Art Bay is a residential building in Al Jaddaf, handover is due Q4 2026.
The developer is Ellington Properties.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 3 lots in this project, from 1 250 000 AED.
An Ellington building on the Dubai Creek waterfront in Al Jaddaf: studios and apartments up to three bedrooms, handover stated for Q4 2026.
Art Bay is the second joint project of Ellington Properties and Dutco under the Dutco Ellington brand. Their first building in this pairing has already been completed, and Art Bay was marketed as a continuation of that track record.
For a buyer that matters more than a render: the developer already has a finished property in this location that can be viewed, not just a presentation.
The mix is studios plus one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with Dubai Creek views. Stated amenities: a pool, a fitness centre, a yoga studio, a rooftop art club, a theatre, a children's play area, a barbecue zone, a cafe and shops.
Al Jaddaf sits on the waterfront between Business Bay and Dubai Festival City: 10 minutes to the airport, 10 to Business Bay, 15 to DIFC and to Dubai Creek Harbour, 5 to Dubai Festival City. The district is being built up with a mix of uses — housing, offices, cultural venues — and the view from the lower floors here changes as the neighbours go up.
February 2024 prices: two-bedrooms from $797,000 at 151 m² and up, three-bedrooms from $991,000 at 174 m² and up. Studio and one-bedroom prices weren't given in the materials. Payment plan: 20% on booking, 50% during construction, 30% on handover.
According to the January 2024 launch materials, Art Bay has a natural-stone facade shaded by timber canopies — a choice that pays off in Dubai not on the render but on the cooling bill.
Inside, the apartments were specified with porcelain tiling and granite and marble worktops. The art theme behind the name is meant to run through the lobby, the layouts and the shared spaces. Art Bay came out in the same wave of Ellington launches as Mercer House in Uptown Dubai and One River Point in Business Bay.
Composition, amenities, sizes, prices and payment plan — Ellington Properties materials, January and February 2024. The Dutco partnership and location — the same source. Facade and interior finish specification — the developer's launch announcement, January 2024.
Our own photograph from the site, showing the building as it stood on the day it was taken. The renders above are what the developer drew — comparing the promise with construction progress beats looking at either one alone.
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.

The sales-launch announcement says Q4 2026. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
Studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
Al Jaddaf. A creekside district between Downtown and the airport: new towers, a healthcare cluster, and a metro station.
The database currently holds 3 lots in this project, from 1 250 000 AED. The list changes daily — I will send a fresh selection for the building on request.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Al Jaddaf
Dubai Healthcare City has started an AED 1.3bn ($354m) phase one expansion: the 13 000 m² PIXEL office building and the 5 800 m² IBN SINA+ medical complex. Ground was broken on 29 April 2026, with completion planned for 2027. What it means for homes in Al Jaddaf and Healthcare City Phase 2.
In January 2025 DLD allowed owners of 457 private plots — 128 on Sheikh Zayed Road and 329 in Al Jaddaf — to convert them to freehold for all nationalities, for a fee of 30% of the valuation based on gross floor area. What it means for apartment buyers.
Dubai's Crown Prince approved designs for two 20 000-seat stadiums back in March 2024 — homes for Al Wasl in Al Jaddaf and Shabab Al Ahli in Al Ruwayyah 3. We check the status two and a half years on, and what an anchor of this scale would mean for the district by the Creek.
The RTA is planning a 55 km, five-station Airport Express Line from DXB via Al Jaddaf and Al Khail Road to JVC and Al Maktoum, with flight check-in at the stations. Etihad Rail is separately building a 350 km/h Abu Dhabi–Dubai line with a 30-minute journey. What it means for JVC and Al Jaddaf.
A developer building in Al Jaddaf, minutes from the centre and rarely mentioned. Overlooked districts are either an opportunity or a trap, and four checks tell you which.
A developer whose branded residence on the creek completed recently. The year after handover has its own checklist — defects liability, association formation, and the charges nobody has tested yet.
A company that builds few buildings and competes on architecture and floor plans. What the boutique format gives on quality and costs on liquidity, and what needs checking with a smaller developer.
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
