UH East by Ellington: Apartments in Jumeirah Lake Towers
UH East is Ellington's residential tower in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), within the Upper House cluster on the eastern side of the sub-community. JLT sits on Sheikh Zayed Road, one of Dubai's main arterial highways, placing this building in a district that has been fully operational for over a decade. The Upper House name covers the paired development Ellington built within JLT; UH East is the eastern tower.
The project offers apartments across four size categories: studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units.
JLT: What Being Here Actually Means
JLT is a mature, mixed-use district with its own metro station on the Red Line, lakeside pedestrian paths, and a dense ground-level network of cafes, retail, and services built into the tower podiums. The Dubai Marina is minutes away on foot or by car. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay sit roughly 20 to 25 minutes by car in standard traffic.
The district draws buyers who want established infrastructure and metro access in western Dubai. The Upper House cluster's position in JLT gives direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road entry and exit points, which is practical for residents who commute by car.
A Price Range from AED 750K to AED 22M
The spread here is wide. Entry starts at AED 750,828 for a studio of 401 sq ft. The top of the range reaches AED 22,000,000 for a three-bedroom apartment at 1,823 sq ft. These are not comparable products within the same building. They serve entirely different buyer profiles and budgets.
Studios (401 to 461 sq ft) are compact entry-point units for individual investors or buyers who want a JLT address with limited capital outlay. One-bedroom apartments range from 819 to 944 sq ft, a practical size for working professionals based in or near JLT. Two-bedroom units cover 1,204 to 1,422 sq ft, suited to couples or small families who want more space in an established district.
The three-bedroom units at 1,823 sq ft for AED 22,000,000 sit at the premium end of the building's range, aimed at buyers who want a large-format apartment in a well-appointed Ellington tower rather than a villa community.
Amenities: A Functional Set for a Working Resident
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| On-site | Restaurants |
| Building | Security |
The indoor pool rather than an outdoor one means year-round usability without seasonal constraints. Landscaped gardens and a children's play area signal that the project serves families as well as individual residents. On-site dining options reduce the daily need to leave the building.
This is a focused set, not a resort specification. It covers what a working JLT resident typically needs without the overhead of more elaborate communal infrastructure.
March 2026: Completion Now Past
Construction started in May 2023. The scheduled completion date was March 30, 2026, which is now past. The project is likely delivered or in the final stages of handover as of mid-2026.
For off-plan buyers who entered during construction, the 30% balance due at handover falls payable now or imminently.
Getting In: 20% Down, 30% at Keys
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 30% |
20% down is the standard Dubai off-plan entry level. The 50% during construction was spread across a roughly three-year build window. The final 30% at handover is the largest single payment in the schedule, and with no post-handover plan, all obligations complete at key transfer.
For buyers looking at this project through the secondary market today, this is a near-ready or delivered asset. The off-plan installment structure is largely settled, and the conversation shifts to what the completed unit commands in the current market.
