About Ellington Cove
Ellington Cove is a beachfront residential building on Dubai Islands with private beach access, offering studios through four-bedroom penthouses.
Entry is AED 2.3 million on a 20/50/30 plan. Ellington's interior quality and the island's beachfront scarcity form the core of the case.
Handover is scheduled for Q3 2028, ahead of much of the island's wider infrastructure.
