About The Project

The Quayside at Business Bay

The Quayside at Business Bay is Ellington Properties’ design first address beside the Dubai Water Canal, bringing a calm residential rhythm to the city’s most dynamic urban core. Across a boutique collection of 118 homes, the development offers studios and one to three bedroom apartments, crowned by a bespoke five bedroom penthouse, each crafted with modern fixtures, refined finishes and well resolved layouts. From the first step inside, you see Ellington’s familiar attention to proportion and daylight. Floor to ceiling glazing frames views of the Canal, Burj Khalifa and Downtown, while open plan living keeps daily life fluid and practical. Private balconies extend living spaces outdoors and give you a front row seat to sunset colours over the water.

The arrival experience sets the tone for the building. A lobby lounge with a communal table creates a social heart where neighbours can pause, work or meet. Amenities have been curated for balance. You can move from a fitness studio to a leisurely swim, then reset in a zen room before heading back out to the city. Families have dedicated areas including a kids pool and places to play within sight of the main deck, so weekends can stay easy. Details such as net seating by the pool and a clubhouse with a kitchenette signal that time spent at home is meant to feel relaxed and unhurried.

Direct access to the Dubai Water Canal Boardwalk shapes daily routine. Morning walks, evening runs and casual cycles are quite literally on your doorstep, with cafés and waterside stops spread along the promenade. Inside the apartments, materials are kept warm and contemporary, with soft tones that sit comfortably beside natural light. Storage runs, sensible kitchen planning and well lit bathrooms support the rhythm of real life rather than show home moments. With a modern lifestyle set in a gated environment and attractive payment options available, The Quayside at Business Bay positions itself for both end users and investors who value a central address that still feels like home.

The Quayside at Business Bay apartments and amenities

At The Quayside at Business Bay, the homes are shaped for liveability. Studios optimise every metre with clean kitchen lines and a sleeping area that feels separate without being closed off. One bedroom apartments add a brighter living frontage and a balcony that earns daily use in the cooler months. Two and three bedroom layouts widen to accommodate family life, with dining zones that sit comfortably beside the lounge and bedrooms planned for proper furniture, not just staging. The signature five bedroom penthouse elevates this approach with expansive glazing, extended terraces and long views that take in the Canal and skyline.

Amenity design follows the same practical elegance. A leisure and lounge pool is paired with a dedicated kids pool so parents can relax nearby. The fitness studio includes space for functional training and stretching, and when you want a quieter reset, the zen room gives you a place to switch off. The clubhouse works for casual hosting, while the pizza oven and barbecue area turn simple evenings into easy gatherings. Even small touches, like net seating beside the water, make time on the deck feel different from a standard pool terrace. With Dubai Water Canal access woven into the site, the building embraces its setting rather than turning inward.

About Community

Business Bay

Business Bay sits at the centre of modern Dubai, a few minutes from Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the Dubai Opera district. It is a mixed use neighbourhood where residential towers, hotels and offices meet the canal’s waterside promenade. That blend is the point. In the morning you can walk the boardwalk or take a short drive to Zabeel’s green spaces, and by afternoon you are within easy reach of galleries, restaurants and the largest retail destination in the city. Connectivity simplifies everything. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road run on either side of the district, while the Business Bay Metro Station and frequent taxis anchor public transport for days when you prefer not to drive.

Daily life works because essentials are close. Supermarkets, pharmacies, gyms, salons and service retail are spread through the grid, so errands fit between meetings rather than taking over an evening. Coffee shops line the canal and cluster under many towers, giving you options for casual work and informal catch ups. For families, schools across neighbouring areas cover early years through secondary, and healthcare ranges from local clinics to major hospitals within a short drive. When the weather cools, the canal path becomes part of the routine, with runners, cyclists and families sharing the same waterside route.

Property here has matured with the district. New buildings are more design conscious, amenity decks are better resolved and glazing quality has improved, so interiors stay brighter and quieter. The address attracts professionals who want to live near the city’s business and cultural anchors without giving up weekend calm, which supports stable rental demand and solid renewal rates. Set within this context, The Quayside at Business Bay reads as a well judged addition. It pairs Ellington’s detailing with a true canal side position and delivers a residential experience that is both central and serene.

Common Questions

FAQ

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.
