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.
About the building
Located in Dubai Islands, currently under construction. Developer — Ellington Properties Development.
Specifications for Ellington Cove 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.
About the project
Ellington Cove is a residential complex of several buildings in Dubai Islands.
The developer is Ellington Properties Development.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 4 lots in this project, from 2 200 000 AED.
An Ellington complex on Dubai Islands with a private beach and one- to four-bedroom apartments. Price per square meter started from $7,000, entry payment 20%, a fully refundable AED 50,000 booking deposit.
What's on offer
One-bedrooms from AED 2.2 million (about $590,000), two-bedrooms from AED 3.3 million ($899,000), three-bedrooms from AED 4.7 million ($1.28 million).
Down payment 20%. Booking deposit AED 50,000, fully refundable.
The developer's rental argument
At launch, it was claimed that this developer's apartments rent for 20–30% above the market average thanks to the finish quality and thoughtful amenities.
The verifiable part here is the developer's reputation for finishes, which is indeed strong. The specific percentage premium is the selling side's own estimate, and yield should be calculated from actual district rental rates.
Location
Dubai Islands is reclaimed land, one of the last remaining waterfront parcels within the emirate with direct beach access. The master plan is run by a government-owned company.
The flip side of that same appeal: new projects launch here every month, and by the time your building is handed over, it will hit the rental market alongside dozens of similar ones at once.
Prices, down payment and deposit terms — launch materials dated 15 December 2024. The rental-premium estimate is the selling side's own claim.
Where it is
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — 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.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
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.
1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and 4-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.
Where is Ellington Cove?
Dubai Islands. The reclaimed islands off Deira, formerly Deira Islands: beaches, hotels and new residential on the northern coast.
How much does an apartment in Ellington Cove cost?
The database currently holds 4 lots in this project, from 2 200 000 AED. Prices in the base are live and update every day; ask for the current list for the building before deciding.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
CG Developers is building Dubai's first JW Marriott residence, priced from AED 1.72 million with a Q1 2028 handover. In parallel, Nakheel has awarded a AED 527 million contract for Island B's core infrastructure — roads, water and sewage for a future 49 000 homes.
A chain of reclaimed islands under a single government master plan. Almost no coastal land with direct beach access is left inside the emirate — and one or two new projects launch here every month. The opportunity and the risk are the same fact.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. Between handover and the first tenant there is a list of connections and registrations, and every one of them needs someone on the ground.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. The dirham’s peg to the dollar shapes the currency risk for every foreign buyer — and the transfer mechanics have costs of their own.
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.
A developer with two projects on the Dubai Islands. Beach access is sold as a feature and defined as a legal arrangement — and the two are not always the same thing.
A mid-market company that went from a handful of projects to a large pipeline in a few years. What rapid growth does to risk, and the specific evidence that separates a good scaler from a stretched one.

Where this project stands today
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.
