The project
About The Meriva Collection
The Meriva Collection is an Ellington Properties beachfront development on Island B of Dubai Islands, with one- to four-bedroom apartments and penthouses across roughly 903 freehold residences.
Portals list a launch price near AED 2.7M with a 70/30 payment structure; some brokers describe a 20% booking amount followed by milestone-linked instalments.
Handover dates differ sharply by source, from Q1 2030 to a DLD-recorded December 2031, so buyers should expect a long construction horizon.
