Portside Square, Mina Rashid: studios, apartments or duplex residences

A mixed-use development with three residential typologies

Portside Square is not a purely residential tower. Ellington has planned it as a mix of homes alongside a dedicated business tower at Mina Rashid, with the architecture drawing on the surrounding port setting and homes oriented around marina, skyline and sea views. Within the residential portion, three typologies are published: studios, standard apartments, and duplex residences. Each suits a different use, and telling your adviser which one you want narrows the search considerably faster than asking for "something at Portside Square."

Studios: the compact, single-use option

A studio at Portside Square suits a buyer who wants a compact footprint at the lowest entry point within the development, whether as a pied-à-terre for occasional stays or as a straightforward rental hold. Because the project sits within a mixed-use setting that includes a business tower, a studio here can also appeal to a buyer thinking about a future tenant working nearby, though Orven does not publish or promise any rental figure for this or any unit type.

Standard apartments: the middle ground

The standard apartment range at Portside Square is the broadest typology and the one most buyers start with. It suits a household that wants more than a studio's single room, a bedroom separated from the living space, without committing to the larger footprint of a duplex. This is also the typology where bedroom count varies most, so send your adviser a specific number rather than a general enquiry, since availability shifts by size and building.

Duplex residences: more space over two levels

A duplex residence spreads living space across two floors rather than a single level, which suits a family or a household that wants a clearer separation between daytime living space and bedrooms, or simply more square footage than a standard apartment offers within the same development. Buyers who plan to live in the unit rather than hold it for rental tend to look at the duplex range first, since the layout mirrors a small house more closely than a flat.

Matching the published amenities to your typology

Ellington lists the following shared facilities for Portside Square: green terraces, a clubhouse, leisure and children's pools, a fitness studio, a yoga and Pilates studio, and indoor and outdoor children's play areas. A studio buyer is most likely to use the fitness studio and the green terraces; a family in a duplex is more likely to use the children's pools and play areas on a regular basis. The yoga and Pilates studio, offered separately from the general fitness studio, points to a wellness-conscious resident base across all three typologies. Your adviser confirms which facilities are shared with the business tower component and which are purely residential.

Building a budget without a published price

Ellington has not published a starting price, a payment plan or a handover date for Portside Square, for any of the three typologies. The practical approach is the same whichever one you are considering:

Every payment on an off-plan purchase in Dubai goes into an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, and you can check a project's registration through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service. Never send a booking payment against a schedule you have not seen in writing.

Reserving from abroad with Orven

You do not need to travel to Dubai to move on any of the three typologies.

1. Message +971 52 776 1939 on WhatsApp, or write to sales@orvenproperties.com, with the typology (studio, apartment or duplex), bedroom count and your budget.
2. Your adviser sends current availability, floor plans and the exact price and payment schedule for matching units.
3. You sign the reservation form and sale agreement electronically, with a copy of your passport.
4. The reservation payment is wired to the project's escrow account, with the proof of source of funds your bank requires.
5. Ellington registers the sale with the DLD, and your adviser follows construction with you through to handover.

Orven charges the buyer no commission; our fee comes from the developer. Brokerage is carried out through ORVEN REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE L.L.C S.P.C (Economic License No. CN-6800129, ADRA). The current unit selection is on the project page.

FAQ

What is the difference between a studio and a duplex at Portside Square? A studio is a single-room, compact unit at the lowest entry point within the project. A duplex spreads living space across two floors, for a household that wants more separation between living and sleeping areas, or more overall space.

Is a payment plan published for Portside Square? Not one that Orven can print here. Your adviser confirms the exact schedule from the sales documents in force for the unit you choose, before any payment.

Does Portside Square include commercial or office space? Yes. Ellington describes a dedicated business tower alongside the residential mix of studios, apartments and duplex residences; your adviser confirms which amenities are shared and which are purely residential.

Which typology suits a rental investor? Orven does not publish or promise rental figures for any typology. Studios and standard apartments are generally the more liquid entry point in a mixed-use development like this one; discuss your strategy with your adviser before choosing.

Can I reserve a studio, apartment or duplex without visiting Dubai? Yes. Reservation, payment to the escrow account and DLD registration are handled remotely across all three typologies, with Orven guiding each step.
