Ellington Views Phase 2: Apartments in Al Hamra Village, Ras Al Khaimah
Ellington Properties broke ground on Phase 2 of their Ellington Views development in April 2024. The project delivers apartments from studios to three-bedroom layouts inside Al Hamra Village, one of Ras Al Khaimah's established master-planned communities. Handover is scheduled for March 2027.
This is the second residential phase Ellington has launched in this location. The development is apartment-only, with no villas or townhouses in the mix. Unit sizes range from compact studios under 500 square feet to three-bedroom layouts exceeding 3,300 square feet. That spread means the project targets multiple buyer profiles, from rental investors at the smaller end to families looking for substantial living space at the top.
Al Hamra Village: A Coastal Community 45 Minutes from Dubai
Al Hamra Village sits on the Ras Al Khaimah coastline, roughly 45 minutes north of Dubai via the E311 highway. The broader community is built around a marina, a golf course, hotel properties, and retail, giving residents access to services without needing to drive into central RAK for everyday needs.
The location works for buyers who can work remotely or who make infrequent trips to Dubai. Families relocating in search of more space and a quieter coastal setting will find the infrastructure here functional for daily life. Buyers with fixed Dubai office schedules will spend significant time on the road each day, which is the main practical trade-off for this location.
Entry at AED 2.16 Million
The listed price for this project is AED 2,160,828. Unit sizes run across a wide band: studios from 465 to 523 square feet, one-bedrooms from 933 to 1,121 square feet, two-bedrooms from 1,402 to 2,718 square feet, and three-bedrooms from 2,264 to 3,392 square feet.
The larger two-bedroom and three-bedroom study-variant units push into floor plate territory that typically belongs to low-rise villas. A two-bedroom with study at over 2,700 square feet offers villa-equivalent space in an apartment structure, aimed at families who want managed common areas alongside generous interior square footage.
What Each Layout Suits
Studios at 465 to 523 square feet target investors running short-term or long-term rentals, or single buyers wanting a low-overhead RAK base. One-bedrooms at 933 to 1,121 square feet are generous for the category and suit couples or individuals who need a dedicated work-from-home room without moving to a two-bedroom.
Two-bedrooms come in standard configurations around 1,400 square feet and expanded study variants above 2,700 square feet. Standard layouts fit couples with a child or small families. The larger variants move into territory families would otherwise associate with a small villa.
Three-bedrooms reaching 3,392 square feet are positioned for end-user families who want significant living space in apartment form. At that size, the unit offers villa-equivalent floor area inside a managed residential building.
A Practical Amenity Set
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Wellness | Gymnasium |
| Leisure | Shared Pool |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
Five amenities covers the core resident needs without overbuilding. A gymnasium and shared pool are the daily anchors. Landscaped gardens add outdoor space beyond the pool deck. The children's play area signals the developer is targeting families as a primary resident type. An on-site restaurant reduces the need to drive for casual dining. The lean amenity list generally translates to lower service-charge obligations for owners compared to projects with more extensive facilities.
Getting In at 20%: A March 2027 Handover
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 30% |
| Handover | 50% |
A 20% down payment opens the purchase. During construction, a further 30% falls due in installments. The remaining 50% is payable at handover in March 2027. Construction started in April 2024, giving a total build period of approximately 35 months.
For a buyer entering now in 2026, the handover is under a year away. The off-plan window is short, and the largest capital payment falls due at completion. That timing means a buyer entering today carries limited construction-phase exposure, with most of the financial commitment concentrated at handover.
