Eltiera Views, Jumeirah Islands: An Ellington Project in a Gated Community
Ellington is developing Eltiera Views in Jumeirah Islands, Dubai. The project covers apartments and penthouses, with construction underway since April 2026. Handover targets December 2029.
Jumeirah Islands: What the Location Delivers
Jumeirah Islands sits between Sheikh Zayed Road and Emirates Road, in line with the JVC and JVT cluster. The community is gated and lower-density, with its housing stock historically dominated by townhouses. An apartment-and-penthouse project here is a different product type for the area. Al Khail Road is close, putting Downtown Dubai around 20 to 25 minutes by car and Dubai Marina approximately 15 minutes away. The nearest metro access requires a drive, so residents here will need a car for daily commuting. The established, gated character of Jumeirah Islands draws families and professionals who prioritise green space and community feel over urban density.
Starting at AED 2.2 Million
The listed price is AED 2,200,000. The project spans 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments (from 801 sq ft to around 1,400 sq ft) and 3- and 4-bedroom penthouses (from approximately 5,700 sq ft upward). A buyer at AED 2.2M is entering at the apartment level. The penthouse units, starting at just under 5,730 sq ft, represent a fundamentally different price bracket.
Apartments and Penthouses: Two Distinct Buyer Profiles
Apartments span three bedroom configurations. The 1-bedroom units run between 801 and 833 sq ft across three layout types, suited to single professionals or couples. The 2-bedroom options cover four layouts between 1,221 and 1,404 sq ft, including a 2-bedroom plus study that works well for remote workers. The 3-bedroom apartment sits at 1,671 sq ft, fitting for families who want Jumeirah Islands' low-density environment at an apartment price point.
Penthouses are a different scale entirely. The 3-bedroom penthouse layouts run from 5,727 to 5,914 sq ft. The 4-bedroom penthouses are 5,929 and 5,984 sq ft. At that scale, the buyer here is not cross-shopping with the apartments in this project. They are after a specific combination of scale, privacy, and a low-rise gated setting.
Amenities
| Category | Facility |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool offers year-round usability that outdoor facilities cannot match during Dubai's summer months. On-site restaurants are a practical addition for Jumeirah Islands, where walkable dining is limited. The overall amenity set covers the key needs of the target resident: fitness, outdoor space for families, food, and year-round swimming.
December 2029: What the Timeline Means for Off-Plan Buyers
Construction started in April 2026. The completion target is December 31, 2029, a 44-month build programme from ground-break. For a buyer entering now, that is just under three and a half years before physical possession. The 30% handover payment becomes due at that point, so the total cash outlay from today through completion runs across both construction milestones and the key collection date.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 30% |
A 20% down payment secures entry into this project. The 50% during construction spreads across milestones, reducing the lump-sum burden across the build period. The 30% at handover is the largest single cash event in the schedule, and there is no post-handover plan to extend payments past key collection.
