Belgrove Residences

Belgrove Residences is a boutique apartment building by Ellington Properties in Bukadra, a residential district in Dubai's inner south-east, offering one- and two-bedroom homes priced from AED 1.77 million and scheduled for completion in Q3 2027.

# The building and its position in Bukadra

Ellington has made a practice of small-scale, design-led buildings, and Belgrove Residences continues that pattern. The project contains 26 units across a single tower, a scale that places it firmly in the boutique category at a time when much of Dubai's residential pipeline runs to hundreds of units per scheme. That restraint is deliberate: fewer residences mean more considered common areas, quieter lift lobbies, and a residents' profile that tends toward owner-occupiers and long-term tenants rather than speculative turnover.

Bukadra sits between the Ras Al Khor inlet and the Mohammed Bin Rashid City corridor, a position that gives it proximity to central Dubai without the density of Downtown or Business Bay. The area has attracted a handful of quality mid-rise projects over the past several years, and Ellington's presence here follows the same logic that guided the developer into Sobha Hartland and the Jumeirah Village fringe earlier in the decade.

# Residences, layouts and sizes

The building offers two configurations. One-bedroom apartments range from 756 to 849 square feet, priced between AED 1.77 million and AED 2.17 million. Two-bedroom residences run from 1,210 to 1,334 square feet, with asking prices from AED 2.68 million to AED 3.13 million.

Those sizes sit at the more generous end for Dubai apartments in this price bracket, particularly the two-bedroom layouts, where 1,300 square feet allows for proper separation between living and sleeping spaces rather than the compressed configurations common in higher-density towers. Furnishing details are not confirmed at this stage. Service charges are set at AED 18 per square foot annually.

Construction is under way, with completion targeted for Q3 2027.

# Amenities and shared spaces

The amenity list is compact but considered. A swimming pool and fitness studio cover the standard expectations. The building also includes yoga studios, a cinema room, and a Club Lounge positioned as a residents' social space.

Two features distinguish Belgrove from the typical mid-rise offer. The Observatory, described in Ellington's project documentation as an elevated viewing space, takes advantage of the building's sightlines toward the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the Downtown skyline. The Kids Play Area and dedicated Pet Areas point to a resident profile that includes families and those relocating with animals, both categories that have grown considerably in Dubai's long-stay market since 2020.

# Distances to key points across Dubai

Bukadra's geography works in measured increments outward from the centre. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, the flamingo habitat that sits at the mouth of the creek, is 6.2 kilometres away. Dubai Design District is 8.6 kilometres, Downtown Dubai 10.5 kilometres, and Dubai International Airport 11.7 kilometres. French International School is 7.8 kilometres, relevant for the European families who have driven a notable share of demand in this corridor.

Mercato Beach on Jumeirah Road is 14.6 kilometres. That figure reflects one honest limitation of the location: the nearest beach requires a 20-minute drive on most days, a trade-off buyers from coastal European cities should price in.

# What Belgrove represents for buyers weighing the Dubai mid-market

The project occupies a specific niche. At 26 units, it offers a level of exclusivity that larger Ellington schemes in Mohammed Bin Rashid City cannot match. The price range, AED 1.77 million to just over AED 3.1 million, keeps it accessible to buyers entering Dubai real estate at a meaningful level without committing to the AED 5 million-plus tier that defines the Palm or prime Jumeirah addresses.

For GCC buyers seeking a pied-à-terre with manageable running costs, or European relocators prioritising quality of build over address prestige, Belgrove's combination of boutique scale, Ellington's established delivery record, and the Bukadra location makes a coherent case. The project is currently fully subscribed, which limits immediate acquisition options, but re-sales and unit releases can be monitored through registered brokers ahead of the 2027 handover.
