Ellington Dubai Off Plan: Sorting Twelve Towers by Handover Date

Ellington's off-plan Dubai towers span handover dates from Q4 2025 to still-unconfirmed timelines. Knowing which of the twelve is closest to completion matters as much as price when comparing construction-stage risk.

Ellington Dubai off plan covers twelve towers in the Orven selection, and sorting them by handover date, rather than price, changes the picture: three are due in 2025, meaning they are close to or already at completion, while several others carry no confirmed handover date at all.

Closest to completion: Q4 2025

Ellington House IV in Dubai Hills Estate and The Highbury in MBR City are both targeted for Q4 2025 handover. Ellington House IV, the fourth phase of Ellington's Dubai Hills Estate cluster, overlooks the community's golf course with studio to three bedroom apartments, duplexes and four bedroom penthouses. The Highbury, a two-building, 29-storey development with 342 residential units, offers studios through three bedroom apartments alongside duplexes and penthouses, with a rooftop infinity pool framed by Downtown Dubai views.

2027 to 2028: the Meydan Horizon cluster

Belmore Residences, Riverton House and The Highgrove, all in MBR City's Meydan Horizon pocket, target Q3 2027, Q2 2028 and Q4 2027 respectively. All three share a broadly similar 20% down, roughly 50% construction, roughly 30% handover structure, with starting prices between AED 1.7 million and AED 1,907,888.

No confirmed handover date yet

Belgravia Gardens in Dubailand, Eltiera Views on Jumeirah Islands, Everly Place in Meydan Horizon, Ocean House on Palm Jumeirah, Portside Square at Mina Rashid, The Meriva Collection on Dubai Islands and The Portman in JVC do not currently publish a handover date. For these seven, construction-stage progress is confirmed directly by your adviser rather than assumed from a public timeline.

Why handover date matters beyond price

A tower close to its Q4 2025 handover generally carries less construction-stage risk than one still years from completion, a meaningful factor if your priority is moving in or renting out quickly rather than spreading payments over a long build period. Conversely, a tower without a confirmed date, like the seven above, requires more active monitoring through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service as construction proceeds.

Everly Place's early stage specifically

Everly Place was only announced on 16 June 2026, with 209 planned residences in Meydan Horizon, making it one of the newer releases among the twelve. Its lack of a confirmed handover date is consistent with a project still early in its own construction and sales cycle, rather than an oversight.

Escrow, registration and financing across all twelve

Every Ellington off-plan payment is held in an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with construction progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service regardless of whether a handover date is yet public. Sales register through Oqood at fixed fees confirmed in the contract. Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval, with no bank or rate confirmed for any of these twelve.

Golden Visa across the range

A property investment of at least AED 2 million can open a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Riverton House already clears that threshold at its published price; several others sit close to or below it, so the answer depends on the specific unit size and current price your adviser confirms.

Reading a developer's timeline with some caution

A published handover date reflects the developer's current construction plan, not a guarantee, and dates can shift as a project proceeds. That is true across all twelve towers, including the two targeted for Q4 2025, which is why your adviser's direct check through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service matters even for towers that look close to completion on paper.

Next step

Tell your adviser whether buying something close to handover, Ellington House IV or The Highbury, suits you better than committing to a longer construction timeline elsewhere in the twelve, and confirm current construction progress for your shortlist.
