The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
A mortgage at the keys
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask Ellington for the estimate.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

The Meriva Collection is an Ellington beachfront project on Dubai Islands, with one- to five-bedroom apartments from AED 2,700,000 and a listed handover of June 2030. Its from price per square foot is about 14% above 1,663 one-bedroom off-plan sales across Dubai Islands over the 12 months to October 2026.
The Dubai Land Department lists 1,663 one-bedroom off-plan sales across Dubai Islands in the 12 months to October 2026. Those are sales in the wider area, not in this project. The from price per square foot is about 14% above their median. Ask which unit the from price applies to before you compare.
The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% on handover. At the from price that is AED 540,000, AED 1,350,000 and AED 810,000. The listed handover is June 2030. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 108,000; ask when it is due.
Ellington describes several buildings with direct beach access and an on-site hotel whose operator the listing does not name. The listing gives one to five bedrooms and sizes of 835 to 7,100 sq ft. The developer names one- to four-bedroom apartments and penthouses, with about 835 sq ft for one bedroom, 1,280 for two, 3,642 for three and 4,617 for four. Ask for the plan of any larger layout, including the five-bedroom homes. The developer says every home has a terrace.
Shared facilities listed include a sauna, a jazz club, a fully equipped fitness centre, a yoga and Pilates studio, and pools for adults and children. Al Mamzar beach is about 2.1 km away and Al Ittihad Private School about 2.8 km. Gold Souq Metro Station is about 4.5 km away, around 9 minutes by car, and Dubai World Trade Centre about 20 minutes.
