Eltiera Heights

Eltiera Heights is a single residential building by Ellington Properties, situated within the Jumeirah Islands district of Dubai. The development comprises eleven apartments across one, two and three-bedroom configurations, with completion scheduled for Q4 2028. At the time of writing, units are sold out.

# The building and its position in Jumeirah Islands

Jumeirah Islands occupies a stretch of west Dubai between Emirates Hills and the Dubai Marina corridor, its layout defined by a network of artificial lakes and low-rise clusters that set it apart from the denser high-rise zones further south. Eltiera Heights sits within this established community, where the predominant residential character runs quieter and more self-contained than the waterfront neighbourhoods nearby.

The building is currently under construction, with approximately a third of the development complete. Eleven units is an unusually small count for a Dubai apartment project, which gives the building a discretion and intimacy that larger towers in the area do not offer.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

Floor plans run from a one-bedroom apartment at 821.61 sqft to a three-bedroom at 1,949.56 sqft. The two-bedroom configurations form the bulk of the offering, appearing in two distinct floor-area bands: 1,236.99 sqft and 1,254.11 sqft. Pricing across the two-bedroom units varied from AED 3,063,828 to AED 3,416,828, reflecting position and floor level within the building. The single one-bedroom was priced at AED 2,123,828, and the three-bedroom at AED 4,515,828.

Kitchens are described as equipped. The developer's positioning emphasises considered interior specification using quality materials, consistent with Ellington's broader approach across its residential portfolio.

Apartments are delivered unfurnished.

# Amenities within the building

The on-site amenity provision is focused rather than exhaustive, suited to a building of this scale. Residents have access to a fitness studio, a swimming pool, outdoor seating areas, a clubhouse and a dedicated kids club. The service charge is set at AED 21 per sqft annually.

There are no extraneous facilities listed. For a building of eleven units, what is available covers the essentials without the overhead of amenities that rarely get used in smaller schemes.

# Proximity to the Marina corridor and wider Dubai

The nearest landmark is Rainbow Valley Nursery in JLT, 1.1 km away, which matters to families with young children. Dubai Marina Mall sits 2.3 km from the building, and Marina Beach is reachable within 2.8 km. Meadows 2 Park, a green open space with walking and cycling paths, is 2.1 km from the site.

For broader connectivity, Downtown Dubai is 23.4 km east, making it a viable commute for those working in the DIFC or Business Bay areas. Al Maktoum International Airport lies 32.4 km to the south-west, a distance that will become more relevant as the airport expands towards its planned capacity.

# What the project offers a particular kind of buyer

The sold-out status removes the immediate transactional question, but Eltiera Heights remains worth understanding as a resale and secondary market prospect. A building with eleven apartments in a low-density, lake-edged community does not replicate itself in high-volume districts. The combination of Ellington's finish quality, the Jumeirah Islands address and the limited unit count points to a buyer who prioritises residential calm and building exclusivity over the amenity maximalism that defines larger developments further along the Marina.

For international buyers already familiar with Dubai who are weighing their second purchase or consolidating from a larger portfolio, the scale and community setting here offer something distinct from the city's dominant sales narrative.
