Overview

Project brief

THREE SIXTEEN-STOREY TOWERS, 408 HOMES, AND EIGHT TRADING UNITS ON THE GROUND FLOOR

Portside Square is Ellington Properties' waterfront scheme at Mina Rashid, the harbour that opened in 1972 as Dubai's first commercial port and has since been rebuilt as a marina, cruise terminal and residential district. Three residential towers — Portside Residences I, II and III — stand on a shared ground floor and podium, each configured ground plus podium plus sixteen floors plus roof, with a separate amenities pavilion between them.

The residential count is 408 and it reconciles exactly. Each tower holds the same 136 homes: 18 studios, 57 one-bedroom apartments, 32 two-bedroom apartments, 18 two-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 10 three-bedroom homes and one four-bedroom penthouse. Three identical towers make 54 studios, 171 one-beds, 96 two-beds, 54 two-bed-plus-studies, 30 three-beds and 3 penthouses — 408 in total, and the per-tower and per-type figures in Ellington's own size-range table agree with each other without adjustment.

The part of this scheme that most write-ups will skip is the ground floor. Ellington publishes a separate F&B and retail floor plan for Portside Square that names eight trading units — Retail 1 to Retail 6, F&B 01 and F&B 02 — and gives measured plates for five of them, with internal areas, outdoor terrace areas and totals. Ground-floor trading space on a marina promenade, published unit by unit at the launch stage, is unusual enough to be worth a section of its own, and this brief gives it one.

There is no price on this page, and that is a decision rather than an omission. Ellington has issued no price list, no price range and no starting price for Portside Square. Everything in the pack — the project brief, the slim brochure, the payment plan, the floor plans, the retail plan, the amenities plan and the map — is free of any figure in dirhams. Rather than carry a number across from a portal or estimate one from a neighbouring tower, this brief publishes none and points instead at the Dubai Land Department register, which records what buyers have actually paid rather than what anyone asked for.

Everything below comes from Ellington's own documents, each dated where it appears in the sources at the foot of this page.

Ellington's own size-range table in the Portside Square project brief. The sizes are Total Living Area — internal plus outdoor — and the basis is set out in the homes section below. Note one naming inconsistency in Ellington's own material: the size-range table calls the 1,723.62 sq ft type a 3-bedroom, while the floor-plan sheet for the identical 1,723.62 sq ft plate heads it "3-BEDROOM PENTHOUSE". Both are Ellington's, the area is the same on both, and neither is corrected here.

THE HOMES — AND THE THREE AREAS ELLINGTON PUBLISHES FOR EACH

Every floor plan in the Portside Square pack states three numbers, not one, and getting this right is the difference between a fair comparison and a misleading one.

Type Internal living area Outdoor living area Total living area Outdoor share of total
Studio Type A 345.41 sq ft 50.48 sq ft 395.90 sq ft 12.8%
1-bedroom Type A 699.55 sq ft 68.35 sq ft 767.90 sq ft 8.9%

4-bedroom penthouse Type A 2,677.95 sq ft 762.84 sq ft 3,440.79 sq ft 22.2%

Ellington's Portside Square floor-plan sheets. Every "Total Living Area" above is the sum of the internal and outdoor figures beside it, and each sums exactly. Ellington publishes no built-up or construction area for these units.

The outdoor share runs from 7.3% to 22.2%, so a like-for-like comparison has to name its basis. Two homes of the same total area can differ by two hundred square feet of interior. Every size quoted on this page is the Total Living Area — internal plus outdoor — because that is the figure Ellington itself publishes in its size-range table, and it is labelled as such wherever it appears. Where this page carries registered Dubai Land Department figures, those are calculated on the property size the register itself records for each sale, which is a different source from Ellington's sheets and is labelled separately in that band. Do not divide a price by one basis and compare it against a rate quoted on the other.

Ellington publishes two variants — Type A and Type B — for every apartment type except the studio and the penthouses, and the variants are not trivially different: the two-bedroom Type A has 33 square feet less interior than the Type B but 63 square feet more balcony. The floor-plate drawings show the mix changing with height: studios, one-, two- and two-bed-plus-study apartments on the first to tenth floors; three-bedroom penthouses appearing from the fifth; and the fifteenth and sixteenth floors given over to one-beds, two-beds and the duplex four-bedroom penthouse, whose lower and upper levels are drawn separately.

Interiors are finished in Ellington's house language of layered neutrals and integrated joinery, and the brochure's balcony note is worth repeating verbatim because it governs what you actually get: "Balcony shape shown is indicative and may vary per floor." For the outdoor area on your specific unit, ask for the floor plan for that floor rather than the type sheet.

THE GROUND FLOOR — EIGHT TRADING UNITS, FIVE PUBLISHED PLATES

Ellington's F&B and retail floor plan for Portside Square, issued 22 October 2025, lays out the ground floor of the scheme as a trading frontage facing the Marina View and Marina Cubes Street. The plan names eight units and publishes measured plates for five.

Unit Internal area Outdoor area Total area
F&B 1 2,168.71 sq ft 1,727.50 sq ft 3,896.21 sq ft
Retail 1 888.45 sq ft — 888.45 sq ft
Retail 2 922.14 sq ft — 922.14 sq ft
Retail 3 922.14 sq ft 552.83 sq ft 1,474.98 sq ft
Retail 4 939.90 sq ft 566.40 sq ft 1,506.30 sq ft

Ellington Properties, Portside Square F&B and retail floor plan, 22 October 2025. The plan's ground-floor key additionally names Retail 5, Retail 6 and F&B 02, for which no measured plate is published in the document we hold. Areas for those three, and the trading terms for all eight, are confirmed on request.

What the shape of these units tells you. F&B 1 is the anchor: 2,168.71 square feet of internal space with a terrace almost as large again, facing the marina. Retail 1 and Retail 2 are inline units under 950 square feet with no terrace — the size and configuration a convenience operator, a clinic, a salon or a service tenant takes. Retail 3 and Retail 4 are the same internal footprint as Retail 2 but each carries a terrace of over 550 square feet, which is what turns an inline shop into a café. A terrace facing a marina promenade, in a scheme delivering 408 homes above it, is the commercially interesting part of this ground floor and it is the reason the plan is worth reading before the brochure.

What the plan does not publish, and what an operator will ask for first. There are no clear heights, no cooling loads, no kitchen extract or fresh-air provision and no gas supply stated for any unit. Those are the four questions an F&B operator puts before area, and they are settled by the mechanical drawings rather than the sales plan. Tell us which unit you are looking at and we will get the provision confirmed in writing from Ellington before you take a view on it.

PRICING — WHAT THE REGISTER CAN SHOW, AND WHAT THE PACK CANNOT

Ellington has published no prices for Portside Square. There is no price list, no price range, no starting price and no price per square foot in any document in the pack, and this brief does not manufacture one.

That leaves one honest source of price evidence for a Dubai project, and it is a better one than a developer's list: the Dubai Land Department transaction register, which records sales that actually completed and were entered on the public record. Asking prices, portal listings and launch price lists are excluded from it by construction, because they record what somebody hoped for rather than what was paid.

Where a transactions band appears on this page, every figure in it is drawn from that register and carries the count of sales it is built on. Where one does not, it is because the register does not yet hold enough qualifying sales against this project for a median to mean anything: the threshold on this site is thirty arm's-length residential sales, deliberately set above the twenty-six at which we have previously declined to publish a figure. Below it nothing is stated at all, which is the honest rendering rather than a gap.

Three things are worth knowing about how those figures are built, because they are the traps that make most published project medians wrong:

  • Land is excluded. A project's register rows can be the plot it stands on rather than the homes above it, and a plot sale is a real arm's-length transaction with a real price per square foot. Published as a project median it is a fabricated figure. Only rows recorded as units are counted here.
  • Shops and offices are excluded. The register's "Unit" classification admits offices, shops, showrooms, workshops, warehouses, gymnasiums and clinics alongside apartments. Ground-floor retail prices at a multiple of the homes above it, so on any mixed-use building it pulls the median up and sets the top of the range. Those sub-types are filtered out before anything is counted.
  • Duplicate registrations are removed. The register holds some sales twice under two different transaction-number formats, and counting them twice inflates every figure derived from them.

For the current position on Portside Square specifically — what has registered, at what areas, and what is actually available from Ellington today — ask us and we will send the current extract alongside Ellington's own release.

WHAT IT COSTS TO HOLD

Ellington states an anticipated service charge of AED 17 per square foot for Portside Square, in both the project brief and the slim brochure. It is an anticipated rate rather than a struck one: the figure a building actually charges is set by its owners' association and approved by the regulator after handover, and on a scheme completing in 2029 that is years away.

It is worth putting the rate in context rather than leaving it as a number. Across the Ellington packs we hold, anticipated service charges run from AED 14 per square foot on the smaller Jumeirah Village schemes to AED 22 on Claydon House and Ellington Beach House. AED 17 sits in the middle of that band, and the amenity load here explains where it sits: three tower lobbies, a four-storey amenities pavilion with a gym, a spa suite, a clubhouse and a cinema lounge, a leisure pool and kids' pool, a running track, amphitheatre seating and landscaped garden decks, all maintained for 408 homes.

Service charges come straight off net yield, so treat any yield you calculate on this building as gross until the rate is struck. Ask for the written anticipated-charge statement before you reserve, and ask what is inside it — chilled water, for instance, is billed separately in many Dubai buildings and is not always inside the per-square-foot rate.

THE BUILDING AND ITS AMENITIES

The amenity offer at Portside Square is concentrated in a standalone pavilion rather than spread thinly across the three towers, which is the more usable arrangement and also the more expensive one to run.

Ground floor. Arrival and drop-off, three tower lobbies with reception, lounge and communal table, lift lobbies, bicycle parking, EV charging, accessible parking, a pavilion and retail drop-off, and outdoor seating along the frontage.

Podium floor. Garden areas, outdoor yoga, outdoor seating, and access up to the pool deck.

First floor. A leisure pool with a baja shelf, a kids' pool, sun loungers and cabanas, a running track, an outdoor fitness area, a shaded outdoor kids' play area, a flexible lawn, amphitheatre seating and garden areas.

The pavilion, over four levels. Ground: entrance lobby, lounge, and a cinema and games lounge with darts, billiards, foosball, air hockey and arcade machines. First: a spa suite with male and female sauna, steam and aromatherapy rooms, aqua cycling, hot and cold plunge, a yoga area, a pilates area, co-working pods, a kids' play area and a nursing and changing room. Second: a fitness studio with a free-weights zone, strength training, cable station, TRX, cardio and circuit stations, and a juice bar. Third: a clubhouse with a lounge, dining table, show bar, shuffleboard and games table, opening onto the pool deck.

Ellington's own architectural framing is that the towers' façades "draw inspiration from the natural rhythm of wind and water", with gentle curves rippling across the skyline. The building configuration diagram gives the floor-to-floor heights: 4.0 metres at podium level, 4.1 metres on the first floor and 3.6 metres on every typical floor above it — a useful number, because floor-to-floor height is what determines ceiling height once slab and services are taken out, and it is rarely published.

LOCATION — MINA RASHID

Mina Rashid opened in 1972 as Dubai's first commercial port and has been redeveloped into a marina, cruise terminal and waterfront district. The Queen Elizabeth 2 is moored there permanently as a hotel, and Ellington's own driving-distance page puts it one minute from the scheme.

Destination Drive time as stated by Ellington
Queen Elizabeth 2 1 minute
Mina Rashid Marina 2 minutes
Sheikh Zayed Road 6 minutes
Dubai World Trade Centre 10 minutes

Dubai International Financial Centre 14 minutes
Mall of the Emirates 18 minutes
Dubai Islands 20 minutes
Palm Jumeirah 20 minutes
Dubai Marina 25 minutes
Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) 40 minutes

Ellington Properties, Portside Square project brief. These are the developer's own stated drive times and are not independently measured here.

Ellington's map additionally marks Dubai Festival City, Dubai Creek Harbour, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, the Dubai Frame, Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, the Dubai Gold Souq, Deira, Al Karama, Oud Metha and Dubai Maritime City in the immediate orbit. The location's real characteristic is that it is a genuinely central address that most buyers do not think of as one: ten minutes from both Downtown and the airport is a combination that very little of the rest of Dubai offers, and it is the consequence of Mina Rashid sitting inside the old city rather than out along the new corridors.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Portside Square is an off-plan brief on a scheme completing in 2029, published without a developer price. Most of what follows is therefore qualitative, and it is better to say so than to dress it up.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

  • Ground-floor trading space on a marina frontage. Five measured plates between 888 and 3,896 square feet, two of them with terraces over 550 square feet, in a scheme delivering 408 homes directly above. For an operator this is a captive residential catchment plus promenade footfall; for an investor it is a strata trading unit in a district with a cruise terminal in it. The mechanical provision is the gate, and it is not published — get it in writing first.
  • Pre-handover resale. A 70/30 plan means 70% of the price is committed before completion, which is a heavier construction-period commitment than the 50/50 plans common elsewhere, and correspondingly less of the price is deferred. Any premium at exit depends on the market in 2029 and on how much of Portside Square's own 408 homes is competing with you at the same moment.
  • Buy-and-hold for rental. Plausible on a central address ten minutes from Downtown, but untestable from this page: we hold no rental evidence for Portside Square, because the building does not exist. Any yield quoted to you should be traced to its rent source and its price source separately before you rely on it.
  • Owner-occupation on a central address. Ten minutes to Downtown and ten to the airport, on a marina, is a combination that is genuinely scarce. If you are buying to live in it, that is the product.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

  • No published price of any kind. Ellington has issued no list, no range and no starting figure. Every price you are quoted for this scheme today is somebody's word, and it should be confirmed in writing against Ellington's own release before you act on it.
  • Completion is more than three years out. Q4 2029 is Ellington's anticipated date, not a contractual one. The sale and purchase agreement governs, and off-plan dates move.
  • A heavy one-bedroom concentration. 171 of the 408 homes are one-bedroom apartments, 42% of the scheme, and a further 54 are studios. On resale and on rental you are competing with a large number of near-identical units in your own development.
  • Three towers delivering at once. All 408 homes complete in the same window, into the same district. That is the supply you will be selling or letting against.
  • The service charge is anticipated, not struck. AED 17 per square foot is a forecast for a building that will not be handed over for years, and the amenity load is substantial. Treat any yield as gross until the rate is set.
  • The retail units publish no mechanical provision. No clear heights, no cooling loads, no gas, no extract, no fresh air. For an F&B operator those four are the deal, not the area.
  • There is an office tower in the elevations and nowhere else. Ellington's own elevation drawings show an OFFICE TOWER beside the three residences. Nothing else in the pack describes it. If you are buying here, establish what it is, when it delivers and who owns it before you model the view or the traffic.
  • Ellington publishes three areas per home and no built-up area. Internal, outdoor and total, with the outdoor share running from 7.3% to 22.2%. Any rate you compare against another project must be on the same basis, and Ellington's basis is not the same as the Land Department's recorded property size.
Questions

COMMON QUESTIONS

What does an apartment at Portside Square cost?

Ellington has not issued a price list for Portside Square, and this page does not invent one. Nothing in the pack we hold — the project brief, the slim brochure, the payment plan, the floor plans or the retail plan — carries a figure in dirhams.

What can be shown is evidence rather than marketing: registered Dubai Land Department sales, which record what buyers actually paid rather than what anyone asked. Where this page carries a transactions band, every figure in it is a median of registered sales with the number of sales stated beside it. For current availability and the price attaching to a specific unit, ask us and we will confirm it in writing against Ellington's own release.

Which area is a price per square foot calculated on here?

Ellington publishes three areas for every apartment type at Portside Square — Internal Living Area, Outdoor Living Area, and Total Living Area, which is the sum of the two. On the Studio Type A those are 345.41, 50.48 and 395.90 square feet; on the four-bedroom penthouse they are 2,677.95, 762.84 and 3,440.79.

The gap between internal and total is not a constant: it is 14.6% of the total on the studio and 22.2% on the penthouse. So a rate quoted on internal area and a rate quoted on total area are different measurements of the same home, and comparing one against the other is meaningless. Ellington does not publish a built-up or construction area for these units. Establish in writing which basis any rate you are shown is quoted on, including ours.

Can a non-UAE buyer own at Portside Square?

Ellington states the ownership at Portside Square as freehold, in its own project brief and again in its slim brochure.

Freehold in Dubai is open to all nationalities in designated areas under Regulation No. 3 of 2006. The tenure recorded against your individual unit, and the exact wording of it, appears in the sale and purchase agreement and on the Dubai Land Department record — confirm both before you sign. This is not legal advice.

What are the ground-floor retail and F&B units, and can they be bought individually?

Ellington's F&B and retail floor plan for Portside Square names eight trading units on the ground floor — Retail 1 to Retail 6 and F&B 01 and F&B 02 — and publishes measured plates for five of them. F&B 1 is 2,168.71 square feet internal plus 1,727.50 square feet of outdoor area, 3,896.21 square feet in total. Retail 1 is 888.45 square feet internal, Retail 2 is 922.14, Retail 3 is 922.14 internal plus 552.83 outdoor, and Retail 4 is 939.90 internal plus 566.40 outdoor.

The plan publishes areas and terraces. It does not publish clear heights, cooling loads, gas, kitchen extract or fresh-air provision, and it sets no prices. If you are looking at one of these units as an operator or as an investor, tell us which one and we will put the mechanical provision and the commercial terms in writing from Ellington.

When does Portside Square complete, and what is the payment plan?

Ellington gives the anticipated completion date as Q4 2029, in both the project brief and the slim brochure.

The published payment plan is a 70/30: 20% at booking, 10% at 60 days, 10% at 120 days, 5% at 240 days and 5% at 360 days from the reservation date, then 5% at each of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction completion, and the final 30% on completion. That is Ellington's own schedule as issued on 16 October 2025. Off-plan dates move, the schedule attaching to your unit is the one in your sale and purchase agreement, and Dubai Land Department registration fees are payable in addition to the purchase price.

What has Ellington not published about Portside Square yet?

Quite a lot, and this page says so rather than filling the gaps. As at 12 September 2026 the pack we hold carries no pricing of any kind, no plot area, no total built-up area, no service-charge history — only an anticipated rate — no escrow account details, no construction start date, no operator names for the retail or F&B units, and no mechanical specification for them.

There is also an office tower. It appears in the elevation drawings in Ellington's own project brief, labelled OFFICE TOWER, standing alongside Residences 1, 2 and 3 — and it appears nowhere else in the pack. No floor count, no area, no tenure, no delivery date. Ask us and we will go back to Ellington for what has actually been issued rather than send you an estimate.

Who is Mitchell's Commercial Real Estate, and how are you paid?

Mitchell's Commercial Real Estate is the trading brand of Stephen James Mitchell, RERA-licensed broker BRN 68593, working in Dubai property since 2007.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.

Sources, provenance & what is not published

Every figure on this page is traceable

WHAT ELLINGTON HAS NOT PUBLISHED

Stated plainly, as at 12 September 2026, because the gaps matter to a buyer as much as the figures do.

No pricing of any kind — no price list, no price range, no starting price and no price per square foot, for the apartments or for the trading units. No plot area and no total built-up area for the development. No built-up or construction area for any individual home; Ellington publishes internal, outdoor and total living areas only. No escrow account details. No construction start date. No clear heights, cooling loads, gas, kitchen-extract or fresh-air provision for the eight ground-floor trading units, and no measured plates at all for Retail 5, Retail 6 and F&B 02. No operator names for any retail or F&B unit. Nothing whatsoever about the OFFICE TOWER that appears in Ellington's own elevation drawings alongside the three residences — no floor count, area, tenure or delivery date. And no consolidated, dated corporate record for Ellington itself beyond the portfolio and handover square footages published on its investment site.

Ask us and we will go back to Ellington for what has actually been issued, rather than send you an estimate.

  • Ellington Properties — Portside Square F&B and retail floor plan, 8 pages, issued 22 October 2025 (the ground-floor trading layout naming Retail 1 to Retail 6, F&B 01 and F&B 02; and the measured plates for F&B 1, Retail 1, Retail 2, Retail 3 and Retail 4, with internal, outdoor and total areas). No plate is published in this document for Retail 5, Retail 6 or F&B 02, and the document publishes no clear heights, cooling loads, gas, kitchen-extract or fresh-air provision for any unit. Supplied to Mitchell's by Ellington.
  • Ellington Properties — Portside Square payment plan, issued 16 October 2025 (the ten-instalment 70/30 schedule reproduced above, which totals 100% exactly).
  • Ellington Properties — Portside Square slim brochure ("Investment Guide") (the G+P+16+R configuration per residence, the amenity list, the freehold tenure, the AED 17 per sq ft anticipated service charge, the Q4 2029 completion date, and the "Flowing lines, living elegance" architectural framing).
  • Ellington Properties — corporate figures: the 20 million square foot total portfolio and 6.5 million square feet of handed-over projects published on Ellington's own investment site, investment.ellingtonproperties.ae (accessed 12 September 2026), together with the "Live by Design" brand line. These are Ellington's own claims and are not independently verified here. Ellington's delivered-scheme list is taken from its own corporate and media pages at ellingtonproperties.ae (accessed 12 September 2026).
  • Dubai Land Department transaction register, via Mitchell's DLD pipeline. Where a transactions band appears on this page, every figure in it is a median of registered arm's-length sales with its sale count stated beside it, filtered to residential units — land, buildings, villas, offices, shops, showrooms, workshops, warehouses, gymnasiums and clinics are all excluded — and de-duplicated before anything is counted. A project publishes nothing at all below thirty qualifying sales.
  • No price for Portside Square is published on this page and none exists in Ellington's material. The pack holds no price list, no price range, no starting price and no price per square foot. No figure has been carried across from a listing portal, estimated from a neighbouring building, or derived from any source other than the two named above. priceFrom is deliberately absent from this file's frontmatter rather than set to zero.
