The project is Ellington Properties’ first residential development in JLT and is expected to complete by the beginning of 2026.

Ellington Properties co-founder Joseph Thomas said: “The vibrant neighbourhood will help to enhance the lifestyles of our Upper House residents, adding to our resort-like amenities and design-led homes.

“Through this project, we will support the ambitions of DMCC to bolster JLT’s position as a destination for positive change.”

DMCC is a free zone and the Government of Dubai’s authority on business and trade in commodities.

DMCC executive chairman and CEO Ahmed Bin Sulayem said: “As we look to build upon this status in the years to come, it is crucial that we bring new and exciting projects to the district – this partnership with Ellington Properties delivers exactly that. Ellington Properties’ commitment to crafting high-quality properties and communities aligns with JLT’s unique identity as a neighbourhood full of soul.”
