Portside Square by Ellington at Mina Rashid Dubai

The starting price is around AED 1.1 million for a studio. Ellington uses an interest free 70/30 structure split as 20 percent on booking, 50 percent across construction milestones, and the final 30 percent on handover. The plan is linked to clear construction stages, which spreads the cash outlay across the build rather than front loading it. Portside Square is freehold, so buyers of any nationality can own outright.

Amenities are arranged around landscaped podiums and a dedicated social building rather than packed into the residential towers. Verified features include a wellness spa, thermal therapy, outdoor pools, an aquatic gym, co working spaces, a clubhouse and entertainment wing, and promenade retail along the marina. Keeping the work and fitness spaces in a separate hub is a deliberate choice that keeps the residential floors calmer.

Handover is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2029, which makes this a long term, off plan purchase rather than a ready home. Buyers should plan around that timeline, and around the wider Rashid Yachts and Marina masterplan continuing to build out across neighbouring plots in the years that follow.

Ellington Properties is a Dubai based boutique developer known for a design led approach and finish quality that tends to exceed mass market peers. Its residential work is organised around a Live by Design philosophy, and Portside Square applies that thinking to a waterfront setting through fluid, wave and sail inspired architecture and hotel style lobbies and interiors.

Mina Rashid was Dubai's first commercial port and is now an Emaar led waterfront regeneration branded Rashid Yachts and Marina. The district is built around marinas, the Queen Elizabeth 2, seafront promenades, and yacht berths, positioning it as a calm coastal address that stays close to the older central business and retail districts. That mix of heritage and marina living is the core of the location story.
