The Ellington Collection: A Single-Price Villa on Palm Jumeirah
What This Project Is
The Ellington Collection is a villa development by Ellington, located on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. Ellington has built a reputation in the mid-to-upper residential market, and this project sits firmly at the top of their range. There is one property type here: a villa. And there is one price point.
One Address, One Price
AED 330,000,000. That is not a range. That is the price. This is a single-unit or tightly defined offering, not a multi-unit development with entry-level options. There is no low end to explore and no way to scale your exposure. The buyer here is committing the full amount to one property on one of the most recognizable addresses in the world.
Palm Jumeirah needs little explanation in terms of brand. What it means practically is this: you are on a man-made island with controlled access, relatively low traffic density compared to mainland Dubai, and a water-facing environment that holds its value in the secondary market. Connectivity to the mainland runs via the main trunk road and the Palm Monorail, with easy reach to Dubai Marina and Sheikh Zayed Road. For a buyer at this price level, proximity to business districts matters less than lifestyle quality and asset defensibility. Palm Jumeirah delivers both.
A Villa Built for One Kind of Buyer
This is not a property for someone weighing options. At AED 330 million, the buyer profile is narrow: a principal residence for a UHNW individual or family, or a trophy asset acquisition for someone building a portfolio of landmark real estate. The villa format means privacy, land, and space. On the Palm, that combination commands a significant premium and rarely sits on the market long when priced correctly.
What the Amenity Set Tells You
| Category | Amenities |

| Wellness and Fitness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, Shared Pool |
| Outdoor Living | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Lifestyle and Services | Restaurants, Security |
An indoor pool alongside a shared pool is worth flagging. It suggests the villa has its own private aquatic facility, separate from any communal offering. That is consistent with a property at this price level. The landscaped gardens and children's play area indicate this is designed with families in mind, not purely as an investment vehicle or a pied-à-terre. Security as a listed amenity, on a gated island address, reinforces that the buyer expects a managed, protected environment as standard.
Timeline: Verify Before You Proceed
Construction started in April 2024, with an expected completion of December 2024. Given that the project data was last updated in April 2026, this property has very likely already been handed over. If you are approaching this now, do not treat it as an off-plan opportunity. You should verify the current status directly: whether the villa has been completed, whether it has transferred to an owner, and whether it is available for sale in the secondary market or still held by the developer.
If it is available, you are likely looking at a ready property, which changes the conversation significantly. Ready means you can inspect, you can verify, and your timeline to occupancy or income is immediate.
Getting In at 50%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 50% |
| During Construction | 50% |
The down payment here is 50%, which is high by any standard. In the Dubai off-plan market, down payments typically range from 10% to 20%. Committing half the purchase price upfront means you are deploying AED 165,000,000 before the keys are in your hand. There is no post-handover payment plan, so the full balance follows during construction with no extended relief after completion.
For a buyer at this level, the structure may be less about cash flow management and more about developer terms on a bespoke asset. That said, anyone acquiring this property should have full liquidity planning in place before signing. The absence of a post-handover plan means the financial commitment is front-loaded and complete well before you move in.
