About Community

Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands feels calm the moment you arrive. The shoreline is long and open, the promenades are wide, and the water sits right beside daily life rather than behind it. Mornings start with an easy walk along the marina or a short jog on the paved paths that run by the beach. Cafes open early, boats move in and out, and the skyline sits in the distance like a backdrop. It is a simple rhythm that works for families, couples and singles because everything you need is close and nothing feels rushed. You can pick up groceries, grab a coffee, let the kids play in shaded parks and be back home without planning a whole day around it.

Connectivity is straightforward. Main city routes link the islands to Deira and the older heart of Dubai, while wider roads take you toward business districts and coastal neighborhoods without complicated turns. Airport trips are predictable, which is useful for frequent flyers and weekend visitors. Ride hailing works well here and parking is sensibly laid out, so moving around does not become a chore. The islands themselves are designed for people on foot and on bikes as much as for cars. There are long stretches made for strolling at sunset, boardwalks where you can sit and watch the light change, and quiet pockets that feel a step away from the city even though you are still in it.

What people notice most is the balance. It is a coastal setting with real city convenience. Schools and clinics in the wider area are reachable within a short drive, and daily services are spread through the community so you are not funnelled into one crowded spot. Dining ranges from casual waterfront places where you can sit outside and listen to the water to smarter rooms you can save for celebrations. At the same time, there is room to breathe. Beaches are broad, public spaces are generous, and weekends can be as simple as walking downstairs, choosing a direction and letting the day unfold.

The Developer

Ellington Properties

Ellington Properties is a UAE residential developer founded in Dubai in 2014. From its earliest buildings, the company has positioned architecture, interiors and the experience of living in a home at the centre of its approach rather than competing primarily through scale.

The business was co founded by Robert D. Booth, Joseph Thomas and Elie Naaman. Booth serves as Managing Director, while Naaman is Co Founder and CEO International. Their combined backgrounds in property have helped Ellington grow from a boutique Dubai developer into a business with a substantial completed and off plan pipeline.

Its early reputation was established in Jumeirah Village Circle through developments including Belgravia, Belgravia II, Eaton Place and later additions to the wider Belgravia series. The company then moved into more central and premium locations, delivering DT1 in Downtown Dubai and expanding through Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate, Business Bay and other established districts.

This progression has not changed the basic design philosophy. Ellington typically gives considerable attention to arrival spaces, interior materials, usable balconies, landscaping and communal facilities. Buildings are intended to feel residential rather than simply functioning as collections of investment units.

Its completed track record has continued to grow. DT1, several Belgravia residences and Wilton schemes established the early delivery record, while Ellington House II in Dubai Hills Estate and Arbor View in Arjan entered handover in 2026. Arbor View was particularly significant as the company's first completed residence in Arjan.

The geographical strategy is now broader. Dubai remains Ellington's main market, but the company entered Ras Al Khaimah through residential projects in Al Hamra, reflecting the northern emirate's growing importance within the UAE property sector.

Ellington Properties Projects in the UAE

Dubai Hills Estate has become one of Ellington's most recognisable locations. The Ellington House series introduced contemporary apartment living beside the golf course, with successive buildings extending the concept while retaining its restrained architectural identity. Ellington House at Dubai Hills Estate provides an example of the company's approach to practical layouts, views and carefully designed shared spaces.

Palm Jumeirah marked another step upwards in positioning. Ellington initially created a limited collection of beachfront villas before launching Ellington Beach House, its first apartment building on the island. Ellington Beach House at Palm Jumeirah placed the company directly within Dubai's established prime waterfront market.

Business Bay has also become important through The Crestmark and The Quayside. These projects show Ellington adapting its design led model to taller, more urban residences while making use of Dubai Water Canal frontage and central city views.

In Mohammed Bin Rashid City, the company has expanded from individual apartment buildings into larger residential concepts. The Sanctuary became its first villa community, while Claydon House, The Highgrove and the newly launched Everly Place extend its presence around Meydan Horizon and its lagoon environment.

Dubai Islands now represents another major growth area. Ellington Sands introduced the company to the destination through a beachfront residential scheme. This was followed in 2026 by The Meriva Collection at Dubai Islands, Ellington's first hospitality led beachfront community.

The Meriva Collection combines residences, penthouses and a dedicated hotel within a wider coastal setting. It represents an important evolution into hospitality influenced real estate, although it should not currently be described as an externally branded residence with a separate hotel brand unless such a partnership is formally announced.

Ellington has also used joint ventures selectively. Upper House in Jumeirah Lakes Towers was created in partnership with DMCC, while Oakley Square involved SOL Properties. A separate collaboration with Dutco established Dutco Ellington for premium residential projects.

Ellington Properties therefore now operates across a considerably broader market than its original boutique JVC buildings, with ready homes, luxury waterfront residences, villas and major off plan projects forming part of its evolving UAE pipeline.
