Windsor House II: Ellington's Apartments in Dubai South
Windsor House II is a residential development by Ellington in the Residential District of Dubai South, formerly known as Dubai World Central. Construction began in February 2026, with handover targeted for July 2029.
What Living in Dubai South Actually Means
Dubai South sits in the southwest of the emirate, organized around Al Maktoum International Airport. The district also borders Expo City Dubai, the repurposed Expo 2020 site, which has added retail, event venues, and public transport connections to this part of the city.
For daily life, this is a suburban location. Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai sit roughly 30 to 45 minutes away by car. Buyers who work near the airport or Expo City face a significantly shorter daily commute. The district is less dense than central Dubai, which means quieter surroundings and more space between buildings.
AED 1.2M to AED 2.2M: Three Bedroom Counts, Three Buyer Profiles
The price range runs from AED 1,200,000 to AED 2,200,000, and the spread maps directly onto unit size and bedroom count.
One-bedrooms start at AED 1,200,000 for approximately 779 sq ft. This is the natural entry point for a single buyer or couple, and the unit type most suited to a buy-to-let entry in a suburban district.
Two-bedrooms come in at AED 1,600,000 for around 1,127 sq ft. That suits a small family or a buyer who needs a dedicated second room. The step up from the one-bedroom is AED 400,000 for approximately 350 additional sq ft.
Three-bedrooms sit at AED 2,200,000 for 1,491 sq ft. The additional space gives a household defined bedroom separation and suits families who need room for children.
What the Amenity Set Reveals
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Social | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Pet-Friendly | Pets Allowed |
The indoor pool is the standout here. Outdoor pools are the default for Dubai apartment projects. An indoor facility means year-round usability and signals a higher long-term operational commitment from the building management. The gymnasium pairs with it to give active residents two covered fitness options.
The pet-friendly designation is a practical differentiator. Many Dubai apartment buildings do not accommodate pets, which restricts options for pet-owning residents and tenants. This building removes that restriction. The children's play area, barbecue space, and landscaped gardens point to a project aimed at residents with longer stay intentions, not transient occupancy.
July 2029: What Off-Plan Entry Means Here
Construction started in February 2026. Handover is scheduled for July 2029, approximately 42 months from the start of works. That is a standard build timeline for a residential tower of this scale.
For an off-plan buyer entering now, the asset will not be available to occupy, rent, or resell until mid-2029. Payments are staged across the build period, but the capital is committed well before any return is available.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 50% |
| On handover | 30% |
The 20% down payment is the standard entry level for Dubai off-plan projects. The 50% due during construction is spread across three-plus years, giving buyers time to stage their payments.
The 30% due at handover is the final and largest single payment, due at the point of delivery.
