The Highgrove

The Highgrove is a twelve-unit residential building by Ellington Properties, situated in Bukadra and scheduled for completion in Q4 2027. The development offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments across a single tower, currently under construction, with prices running from approximately AED 2.3 million to AED 5 million.

# The tower and its position in Bukadra

Ellington has built a reputation in Dubai for smaller-scale, design-led residential buildings, and The Highgrove follows that pattern. Twelve residences across one building is a deliberate scale: the kind of project that prioritises the quality of common spaces over unit count. Bukadra sits between Ras Al Khor and the broader Meydan corridor, an area that has attracted attention as the plots around the wildlife sanctuary and the creek have been progressively developed.

The location is not the obvious choice for buyers led purely by postcode prestige. It is, however, a practical one. Downtown Dubai sits roughly eight kilometres away, Dubai International Airport about twelve. The neighbourhood rewards buyers who are tracking where Dubai's residential mid-ring is heading rather than anchoring to addresses already fully priced.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

One-bedroom apartments range from approximately 778 to 816 square feet, priced between AED 2.26 million and AED 2.34 million. The spread of prices within the one-bedroom tier is relatively tight, suggesting consistent specification across the floor plate rather than significant variation in aspect or finish.

Two-bedroom apartments offer more range. Floor areas run from around 1,185 to 1,407 square feet, with prices from AED 3.35 million to AED 3.72 million. The largest unit at this level, at 1,407 square feet, is priced at AED 3.72 million. At the top of the building, a single three-bedroom residence covers 1,712 square feet and is priced at AED 5.01 million.

All units are delivered with kitchens fitted. The broader specification follows Ellington's standard approach: considered material choices, clean detailing, and interiors that read as considered rather than merely expensive. Service charges are set at AED 18 per square foot per year.

# Amenities: what the building provides

For twelve residences, the amenity list is substantial. The building includes an infinity swimming pool, a wellness spa, yoga studio, gym, outdoor cinema, sky dining area, kids play area and a clubhouse.

The sky dining area and outdoor cinema are the kind of offering that matters more in a boutique building than in a large tower, precisely because resident numbers are low enough for those spaces to feel genuinely usable rather than aspirationally photographed. A wellness spa alongside a dedicated yoga studio reflects the direction Ellington has taken in recent years, positioning its buildings against a buyer profile that considers health infrastructure as a baseline rather than a bonus.

# Access, distances and daily geography

Kinderville Ras Al Khor, a nursery and early years school, is 1.8 kilometres away. That proximity will be directly relevant to a portion of buyers. Marhaba Mall is 7.6 kilometres out, Greens West Park 8.4 kilometres, and Mercato Beach on the Jumeirah strip approximately 14.8 kilometres.

Dubai International Airport at 11.9 kilometres places The Highgrove within a reasonable commute for frequent travellers, and the access routes through Ras Al Khor Road and Al Khail Road connect residents to both the Business Bay cluster and the northern Emirates without requiring passage through the busiest parts of the city.

# What the building asks of its buyer

The Highgrove is not a project for someone seeking density, hotel-style lobby theatre or a recognisable postcode to cite at dinner. It is a small building in a district that is still assembling itself, developed by a firm whose track record at this scale is well-documented in Dubai's secondary market.

The price-per-square-foot calculation is reasonable for Ellington product, and the service charge at AED 18 per square foot is a number buyers should model carefully against their yield assumptions given the amenity load relative to unit count. For an international buyer who wants a Dubai foothold that is well-built, manageable in size and positioned in a corridor with room to appreciate, The Highgrove makes a legible case.
