Ellington House

Ellington House opens at AED 1.78M for its 78.13 sqm apartments, landing at approximately AED 22,772 per sqm. The 162 sqm units are listed at AED 3.8M, arriving at approximately AED 23,457 per sqm. The pricing differential between the two size bands is narrow — Ellington has held near-consistent per-sqm rates across the range rather than discounting the larger format to drive volume. That compression means the 162 sqm option delivers no meaningful per-sqm advantage over the 78 sqm unit; the decision between the two is determined by use case and budget, not value arbitrage. Factor in the 5% buyer-side buyer-side fee in every scenario: on the AED 1.78M entry unit, that alone brings effective acquisition cost to approximately AED 1.869M before DLD registration fees. With 287 tracked transactions attached to this project, there is sufficient secondary market data to cross-reference current asking prices against closed deals rather than relying on developer-cited comparables. The 50 rent signals allow yield modelling at unit level, avoiding the distortion of applying district averages to a project with its own specific specification tier.

Ellington House was scheduled for Q1 2025 handover and was tracking at 0% ahead of plan at the time of the last data snapshot — meaning the build was executing on schedule without contingency buffer. With that handover milestone now passed, buyers approaching this project are operating in post-completion or near-completion conditions. The primary risk has shifted from construction to title transfer timing and secondary market pricing dynamics. If you are evaluating an off-plan entry at this stage, the off-plan vs ready comparison is the correct reference point to establish whether any residual off-plan discount justifies the remaining wait or procedural friction. For buyers comparing across the district, reviewing construction completion percentages on live Dubai Hills off-plan projects will confirm whether Ellington House is the most advanced option at your price point.

Dubai Hills is Emaar's master-planned residential district anchored by an 18-hole championship golf course, Dubai Hills Mall, King's College Hospital, and a network of international schools. Al Khail Road connects the district directly to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, sustaining strong professional expatriate demand across both the ownership and rental markets. Apartment pricing in Dubai Hills has been trending upward as community infrastructure matures and premium supply tightens. Ellington House's per-sqm range of AED 22,772–23,457 places it above the average for commodity apartment stock in the district, a gap that reflects the developer's interior specification standard rather than any locational advantage not shared by adjacent projects. The district's rental market is underpinned by hospital staff, school-proximity buyers, and corporate professionals on two- to three-year assignments — a tenant profile that supports stable occupancy rather than speculative short-let yield. The 50 rent signals on Ellington House provide a direct read on achievable rents without extrapolating from district-level averages that blend premium and standard product.

Ellington operates exclusively in the premium residential segment and applies consistent specification and interior finish standards across its portfolio. If Ellington House does not match your size preference or budget, Greencrest and House ii are Ellington-branded launches worth running side by side on unit size, payment plan structure, and handover timing. Eltiera Views 2 is another Ellington launch for buyers wanting to evaluate the developer's output across different districts rather than restricting the comparison to Dubai Hills alone. Ellington's track record on build quality and handover execution is a central argument for paying the per-sqm premium the developer commands. Verify that claim by checking handover status and DLD transaction history on earlier Ellington completions before placing Ellington House on your selection.

Within Dubai Hills, Palace Residences Hillside targets buyers who want branded hospitality positioning alongside residential ownership. The comparison to Ellington House is most relevant for investors weighing yield against lifestyle branding rather than specification parity alone. Portside Square offers a different unit mix and price point for buyers where the Ellington House size bands or finish tier do not match their brief. Before finalising a selection from any of these launches, verify handover dates, payment plan structures, and secondary market transaction volumes for each project independently. The Dubai Hills area overview gives you the district-level pricing context to judge whether any individual project is at a premium, at market, or below comparable stock — that context is essential before Ellington House earns a committed selection position. For buyers new to the UAE purchase process, the buying guide covers registration fees, mortgage eligibility for non-residents, and the off-plan transaction mechanics that apply to every project in this district.
