Portside Square by Ellington, Mina Rashid: the studio and duplex guide

What Portside Square is

Portside Square places a mix of residences alongside a dedicated business tower at Mina Rashid, developed by Ellington and sold off-plan. The architecture draws on the surrounding port setting, while homes are planned around views of the marina, the city skyline and the sea. The residential mix covers studios, standard apartments and duplex residences, giving buyers a range of layouts within a single mixed-use development.

Because Portside Square combines residential and business space, and studio, apartment and duplex typologies, tell your adviser which mix you are looking for, a smaller studio for a compact rental hold, or a duplex for more space, so the units you see match your brief rather than the full range on offer.

The renderings on the project page and in this guide are Ellington's own visualisations of the towers and their marina and port-facing views. They are not photographs of construction on site, and your adviser confirms the exact floor plan for any unit before you commit to a reservation.

The published amenities

Ellington lists the following facilities for Portside Square:

• Green terraces
• Clubhouse
• Leisure and children's pools
• Fitness studio
• Yoga and Pilates studio
• Indoor and outdoor children's play areas

The list separates leisure and children's pools and offers both a fitness studio and a dedicated yoga and Pilates studio, which points to a wellness-conscious resident base alongside families. The green terraces add landscaped outdoor space within what is otherwise a mixed-use, port-facing development. Your adviser confirms which facilities are shared with the business tower component and which are purely residential.

Mina Rashid: a port-side district in transformation

Mina Rashid is a historic port area of Dubai that has been developed into a mixed residential, marina and business district in recent years. It sits close to Rashid Yachts & Marina, where several Emaar projects in our selection, including Porto View and Fior 1, are also located, which makes it a useful area to compare across developers.

For more on the surrounding area, our Rashid Yachts & Marina district guide sets out the wider marina setting, and the Ellington developer profile lists the developer's other projects with us. The current unit selection for Portside Square itself is on the project page.

Price and payment plan

Ellington has not published a fixed starting price or payment schedule for Portside Square that Orven can print here. Send your budget and preferred typology; your adviser replies with the current price list and the exact instalment schedule for matching units, from the sales documents in force on the day you ask. Never pay a booking amount against a schedule you have not seen in writing.

Every off-plan payment goes to an escrow account opened for the project with a UAE bank, controlled by the Dubai Land Department, and the developer draws on it as construction milestones are certified. You can check the project's registration through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service.

On top of the price, budget the Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4%, the fixed Oqood registration fee for an off-plan sale, and the developer's administrative charges. Bank financing for part of the price is possible for some non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval.

Which investor Portside Square suits

Two profiles come up most often with this project.

An investor in Lagos or London who wants a compact studio in a mixed-use, port-side district with marina views, close to a growing business hub rather than a purely residential neighbourhood.

A family in Toronto looking at a duplex residence for more layered living space, with access to the yoga and Pilates studio and green terraces as part of daily life rather than an occasional amenity.

Rental income and capital gains are not taxed for individuals in the UAE, though your country of residence may tax them. Check with your own adviser before treating any projection as a certainty. If you want to compare Mina Rashid with the neighbouring Rashid Yachts & Marina district, your adviser can set Portside Square against Porto View and Fior 1.
