About The Highgrove
The Highgrove is Ellington Properties' 35-storey residential tower in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, overlooking the crystal lagoon with one- to three-bedroom apartments, sky villas and penthouses sized from about 778 to 2,787 sq ft.
Launch pricing is most often quoted at about AED 1.97 million on a 70/30 plan with 20% down; other portals cite AED 1.9 million or AED 2.2 million and above.
Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027 in most listings, though a Dubai Land Department-based record shows December 2028.
