Ellington Ocean House

Ellington Ocean House sits on Palm Jumeirah, the artificial palm-shaped island that remains Dubai's most recognisable address, and represents one of the developer's most restrained residential statements to date. The building is currently under construction, with completion scheduled for Q4 2025 and construction progress at 66 per cent.

# The tower's form and position on the frond

Designed around curvilinear geometry that draws loosely from coastal forms, Ocean House rises across a basement, ground level and nine residential floors. The building houses only three residences in total, a figure that places it firmly in the category of private-house alternatives rather than conventional apartment towers.

That exclusivity is structural, not cosmetic. With a single building containing three homes, the common areas, lifts and facilities serve a resident population the size of a small household rather than a development of dozens. On an island where the density of some projects can undermine the sense of seclusion that buyers come for, the scale here is a meaningful distinction.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The available residences span two bedroom counts. A two-bedroom unit runs to 4,212 square feet, priced at AED 22,580,828. The four-bedroom homes are larger, ranging from 8,716 to 9,946 square feet, with asking prices between AED 49,284,828 and AED 56,275,828.

Those floor areas are substantial by any standard. At roughly 9,000 square feet for the larger units, each residence occupies more internal space than most Palm Jumeirah villas change hands for. The homes are delivered semi-furnished.

Service charges are set at AED 25 per square foot annually.

# Amenities across the building

# Facilities worth noting by type

The amenity programme covers several categories. For fitness, there is a 50-metre pool with lounge zones and landscaped gardens alongside a fitness and yoga studio positioned with direct views over the pool terrace. A wellness spa is also included.

Social and entertaining infrastructure runs to a dedicated space configured for use as a private club, a movie theatre, flexible workspaces and a hire-in private chef arrangement for intimate dining. Families with children have access to a kid-focused water entertainment area and a separate play zone. Outdoor seating areas complete the provision.

The amenity list is neither sparse nor padded. Each item serves an identifiable purpose rather than functioning as a checklist filler.

# Distances from the Palm to the wider city

Aquaventure Beach and the Atlantis Mall are both within six minutes by car, at 3.2 and 3.6 kilometres respectively. Nakheel Mall is 11 minutes away. Dubai Marina sits 14.6 kilometres out, approximately 24 minutes in normal traffic. The Burj Al Arab is 16.1 kilometres from the building, a 26-minute drive, and Dubai International Airport is reachable in around 34 minutes across 39.5 kilometres. For buyers with children, Redwood Montessori Nursery is 14 minutes away at 8.9 kilometres.

The Palm's geography means most journeys involve the main trunk road, so travel times depend on time of day. That said, the island's proximity to the Marina corridor and Sheikh Zayed Road keeps the broader city within reasonable reach.

# Who Ocean House suits and where it sits in the market

Three homes in a single building at this price point occupy a niche that sits between the freehold villa market and the hyper-prime penthouse segment. A buyer here is not purchasing apartment-style density with a prestige postcode. They are purchasing something closer to a managed private residence, with all the infrastructure of a full amenity building and none of the communal anonymity.

The profile that fits most naturally is a principal residence buyer, or a family seeking a second home in Dubai who values floor area and privacy over the social fabric of a larger development. At AED 49 to 56 million for the four-bedroom homes, this is a considered acquisition rather than an entry-level Palm purchase, and the building's scale means the buyer pool for resale will remain narrow. That cuts both ways, and buyers should factor it into their long-term thinking.
