Eltiera Heights

A single 37-storey column where Ellington tests vertical density

Eltiera Heights rises as a standalone tower on Jumeirah Island Street, a deliberate departure from the four-building cluster that defines Eltiera Views nearby. Ellington Properties packs 355 residential units into one vertical structure, stacking 37 floors above three podium levels. The building silhouette plays on organic curves and contrasting materials, a signature the developer has refined across recent launches. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028, with entry pricing hovering around AED 2.8 million for one-bedroom apartments. Freehold tenure opens ownership to international buyers without visa requirements.

Single-tower format versus the cluster approach

While Eltiera Views distributes its inventory across four 26-storey towers, Eltiera Heights consolidates everything into one structure. This changes the ground-level footprint: one lobby, one drop-off zone, one management point. The configuration includes a basement, ground floor, three podiums, a technical floor at level 18, then 37 residential floors capped by a rooftop. Six passenger elevators and one service elevator handle vertical circulation. Anticipated service charges sit at AED 21 per square foot, consistent with Ellington's benchmarks in the area.

Unit mix: 168 one-beds, two flagship penthouses

The product pyramid tilts heavily toward compact units. One-bedroom apartments (168 units) range from 820 to 895 sq ft. Two-bedroom layouts split between standard (100 units, 1,237 to 1,393 sq ft) and study configurations (51 units, 1,369 to 1,501 sq ft). Three-bedroom units number only 34, spanning 1,640 to 1,950 sq ft. At the apex, two four-bedroom penthouses occupy 5,810 to 6,085 sq ft each. This distribution targets rental investors on the smaller units while reserving a trophy product for end-users seeking panoramic lake views.

Podium deck: 40-metre infinity pool and Japanese onsen

The first podium floor hosts the bulk of shared amenities. A 40-metre infinity-edge pool anchors the deck, flanked by cabanas, sun loungers, and a soak bench. A separate kids' pool sits adjacent. The wellness zone includes a vitality pool, Japanese onsen bath, steam rooms, and saunas. The fitness studio is segmented into cardio, strength, boxing, and stretching zones, with natural light flooding through full-height glazing. A dedicated yoga studio operates both indoors and outdoors. Social programming spans a clubhouse with games area, a soundproofed karaoke room, and a podcast recording studio.

Ground floor retail and EV charging infrastructure

Ellington integrates a mixed-use ground floor uncommon in purely residential towers. Retail slots and F&B outlets line the urban plaza, generating pedestrian activity at the building's base. An independent car wash bay and electric vehicle charging stations serve residents directly. A bicycle repair station and dedicated two-wheel parking cater to active commuters. The main lobby features a reception lounge with concierge service, positioning the building closer to a hospitality experience without the branded-residence premium.

70/30 payment plan tied to construction milestones

Ellington structures payments at 70% before handover and 30% on completion. The initial 20% is due at booking, followed by 10% after 60 days, then 5% tranches at 120, 180, 240, and 360 days. Subsequent 5% installments trigger at 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% construction milestones. The final 30% clears at handover. No extended post-handover financing is offered, which suits buyers who prefer to settle obligations before taking possession. Booking requires a UAE cheque or credit card payment of AED 40,000.
