Mercer House

Mercer House is a two-tower residential development by Ellington Properties, located within Jumeirah Lake Towers and scheduled for completion in Q3 2027. The project spans 13 residences across its two buildings, with one- and two-bedroom apartments alongside three-bedroom homes, all unfurnished and currently under construction at roughly seven per cent completion.

# The twin towers and their position in JLT

Jumeirah Lake Towers occupies a particular position in Dubai's residential hierarchy: dense enough to feel urban, but oriented around the district's artificial lakes and pedestrian promenades in a way that older freehold zones rarely are. Mercer House sits within that fabric as a two-building scheme sharing a common podium, the towers rising from a base that houses amenities, hospitality and retail rather than a conventional lobby and carpark arrangement.

The dual-tower format allows Ellington to separate residential volumes while keeping communal infrastructure consolidated. At seven per cent construction progress, the scheme is in its early stages, with handover targeted for the third quarter of 2027.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

The range runs from a single one-bedroom configuration at 957 sq ft, priced at AED 2,852,828, through a spread of two-bedroom layouts between roughly 1,422 and 1,598 sq ft, and on to three-bedroom residences that reach 2,589 sq ft at the upper end.

The two-bedroom tier shows notable variation. At 1,422 sq ft, one configuration is priced at AED 4,839,828; at 1,598 sq ft, another sits at AED 4,763,828. The spread suggests meaningful differences in orientation or floor level rather than a simple size-to-price relationship, which is worth examining with a broker before committing.

Three-bedroom homes range from AED 6,627,828 to AED 7,569,828, with the largest units reaching just over 2,589 sq ft. Residences are delivered unfurnished, giving buyers flexibility on fit-out. The developer's reference materials note integrated drop-in kitchen sinks and a Downdraft Hood Slider in gunmetal grey stainless steel with touch controls for three-bedroom units, pointing to a kitchen specification that goes beyond standard contractor grade.

Service charges are fixed at AED 22 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities across the shared podium

The podium programme is broad. On the active side, Mercer House includes a multi-sports hall, padel courts and a fitness studio. Aquatic facilities split into a beach pool and a skyline pool, each with a distinct character, alongside a pool bar. A scenic sauna and ice room rounds out the recovery offer.

Social and hospitality infrastructure includes a clubhouse, beach clubhouse, restaurant, game room and retail centre. Families are accommodated through an indoor children's play area. The breadth of the amenity list reflects a positioning aimed at residents who expect a building to carry a social infrastructure of its own, rather than relying entirely on the wider neighbourhood.

# Connectivity within JLT and beyond

JLT is one of Dubai's better-served districts for metro access. The DMCC and JLT stations on the Red Line run along the district's eastern edge, placing Sheikh Zayed Road and the broader metro network within walking distance. Dubai Marina and Bluewaters are immediately adjacent to the south, while the business concentrations of DIFC and Downtown Dubai are accessible in under twenty minutes by car outside peak hours.

The district's lake-facing promenades and ground-level retail give it a walkability that is less common in comparable freehold zones, which tends to matter to European and East Asian buyers accustomed to urban density with amenity at street level.

# Who Mercer House suits, and where it sits in the current market

Ellington has built a consistent product identity around considered interiors and amenity-led podiums, and Mercer House follows that pattern. The pricing, from AED 2.85 million for a one-bedroom to under AED 7.57 million for the largest three-bedroom, positions the project below the headline prices of prime Downtown or Palm launches, while offering floor areas that are larger than much of what sells in those markets at equivalent or higher rates.

For buyers whose priority is usable square footage, a recognised developer and a JLT address rather than a trophy postcode, the numbers make a coherent case. The 2027 delivery timeline and current construction stage suit investors comfortable with off-plan exposure over a two-to-three year horizon, as well as end-users planning a Dubai base who are not yet under time pressure to occupy.
