Master plan

The developer’s own site plan for Portside Square, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

How Portside Square compares

Entry here is AED 1.1M, against a median of AED 1.8M across the 23 priced projects in Mina Rashid, which puts it above 1 of them and below 21. The plan opens at 20% down, against a Dubai median of 10%, so it asks 10% more up front than the typical plan. Handover lands in Q4 2029, alongside 86 other projects completing in the same quarter. Ellington has 73 projects in our catalogue.

Measured across our own catalogue of Dubai off-plan projects, refreshed with the source listings. Entry price is the lowest advertised unit price in a project, not an average transaction value.

What you pay, and when

The launch payment plan was 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover. Buying now means a resale from a private owner, on whatever terms the two sides agree.

Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 58,000 at this resale price. That 20% booking payment does not go to Ellington directly: under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 a registered project holds it in a RERA-supervised escrow account, drawn down against certified construction progress.

What the entry price works out at

The cheapest unit with a published size is 395 square feet at AED 1,148,000, which works out at AED 2,906 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 395 to 3,440 square feet.

Ownership and residency

Portside Square is a freehold development, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The cheapest resale listed is below the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa, though 1 bedroom units here start at AED 2,224,000 and clear it on their own.

Who it suits

The development is apartments and penthouses in studio to 4 bedroom layouts. studios start at AED 1,148,000 and 4 bedroom units at AED 9,979,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home. The developer has sold out, so anything available here is a resale from a private owner.

What is on site

Shared facilities recorded for Portside Square lead with private marina berths and beach access, alongside the indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, landscaped gardens, children's play area and security that most Dubai developments carry. 9 floor plans are published for it.
