Ellington House Phase 3: Studios to Four-Bedroom Units in Dubai Hills Estate
Ellington House Phase 3 is a residential development by Ellington in Dubai Hills Estate. The project runs from AED 979,828 for a studio to AED 5,295,319 for a four-bedroom apartment, spanning a range wide enough to cover the yield-focused investor at the bottom and the family end-user looking for a large home at the top. Apartments and duplexes make up the product mix.
Dubai Hills Estate: What the Location Means in Practice
Dubai Hills Estate sits roughly midway between Downtown Dubai and the Expo City corridor. Al Khail Road runs alongside the community, giving direct access in both directions. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are around 15 to 20 minutes on a clear run. The Mall of the Emirates is approximately 10 minutes by car. Dubai International Airport is under 30 minutes.
The community has schools, a golf course, and a mall within its own boundaries. For a family buyer, daily necessities stay inside the district. For an investor, the infrastructure is in place and functioning, not a future promise. Ellington House is a sub-cluster within the estate. Phase 3 is the third building in that cluster, which means the streetscape has existing residents and the surrounding common areas are live.
What the Price Range Tells You
The spread from AED 979,828 to AED 5,295,319 reflects the depth of the product stack. Studios start just under AED 1 million at 431 and 520 square feet. One-bedroom apartments begin at AED 1,744,138 at 866 square feet. Two-bedrooms run from AED 2,836,815 across layouts ranging from 1,337 to 1,538 square feet. Three-bedrooms start at AED 3,984,680 in sizes between 1,864 and 2,031 square feet. The four-bedroom apartment prices at AED 5,295,319 at 2,667 square feet.
The studio and one-bedroom range suits investors looking for a Dubai Hills Estate address at a lower capital commitment. Two-bedrooms under AED 3 million attract family end-users who want the community's school access without stepping into the three-bedroom price tier. The four-bedroom at over AED 5 million targets buyers who want a large home and expect a premium finish in this postcode.
Apartments and Duplexes: Who Each Format Suits
Most units are apartments, covering studios through to four bedrooms. The duplex is a four-bedroom format at 2,667 square feet, spread across two floors. Buyers who want living and sleeping areas on separate levels, rather than a single flat floor plan, would be looking at the duplex. It suits owner-occupiers placing a premium on how the space functions day to day.
What the Amenity Set Says
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Convenience | Valet Parking |
| Outdoor | Balcony, Shared Pool |
Five amenities is a lean count relative to some Dubai master-plan projects. Ellington House Phase 3 draws on the broader Dubai Hills Estate infrastructure for parks, retail, and leisure rather than replicating them within the building. The gymnasium and pool cover everyday needs. Valet parking is uncommon in mid-rise residential buildings and signals a resident profile that expects a level of service alongside convenience. The amenity package targets working professionals and families, not resort-style living.
Handover Has Likely Arrived
Construction started in February 2023. The expected completion was July 2025, which is approximately one year in the past. The building has likely reached the handover stage.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 30% |
| At handover | 60% |
The 10% down payment keeps the entry cost low. For a studio at AED 979,828, the deposit is AED 97,983. For the four-bedroom apartment at AED 5,295,319, it is AED 529,532. The 30% construction draw spreads across the build period. The largest single payment is the 60% at handover: for a two-bedroom at AED 2,836,815, that is AED 1,702,089 due on key release. The payment plan has no post-handover component, so the full purchase price clears at the point of handover.
