Ocean House

Overview

Ocean House is a residential building by Ellington on the northeastern Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. It brings together 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments, duplex residences, 5 bedroom penthouses and a 6 bedroom presidential residence, all planned around views of the Arabian Gulf, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline. The project is under construction, and handover is scheduled for December 2026.

The architecture takes its cue from the movement of waves and tides. Expect soft curved balconies, floor-to-ceiling glazing, vertical landscaped gardens and a natural material palette, with private terraces on the residences. For buyers comparing off-plan projects Dubai has on the market today, the main point of difference is timing: this building is close to completion, so the wait between booking and receiving the keys is short.

Location and connectivity

The Crescent is the outer ring of Palm Jumeirah, which means homes here look out over open water rather than across to a neighbouring frond. Ocean House sits on its northeastern stretch, a short drive from the Palm's hotels, promenades and beach clubs. The owner's information gives the following approximate drive times:

• The Boardwalk Palm Jumeirah: about 1 minute
• Atlantis The Palm: about 2 minutes
• The Pointe: about 5 minutes
• The View at The Palm and Nakheel Mall: about 10 minutes
• Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour: about 15 minutes
• Emirates Golf Club and Burj Al Arab: about 20 minutes
• Ain Dubai, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and the Museum of the Future: about 25 minutes
• DIFC: about 30 minutes
• Dubai International Airport: about 35 minutes

These times assume normal traffic. In practice, the Crescent gives residents a quiet, residential setting while keeping the Marina, the beach hotels and the main malls within a reasonable drive.

The residences

The developer's price sheet lists the following unit types with their starting sizes:

• 2 bedroom apartments: from 1,642 sq ft
• 3 bedroom apartments: from 3,233 sq ft
• 4 bedroom apartments: from 5,352 sq ft
• 5 bedroom penthouse: from 14,037 sq ft
• 6 bedroom presidential residence: from 11,770 sq ft

The 2 bedroom homes come with generous terraces, while the 3 and 4 bedroom layouts are planned for families who want space indoors and outside. Duplex residences have double-height living areas, and selected duplexes include private pools and landscaped gardens. If you are looking for a duplex for sale Dubai buyers rarely find on the water, ask early which units include a pool, because only some do.

The presidential residence adds private wellness facilities and dedicated guest quarters. The penthouses are designed around wide private terraces with pools and outdoor entertaining areas facing Palm Jumeirah and the city. Anyone searching for a penthouse for sale Dubai with this much room should note that the 5 bedroom penthouse is the largest layout in the building, at more than 14,000 sq ft.

Inside, the specification includes natural marble flooring, high ceilings, European-designed kitchens with Miele appliances, designer wardrobes, European sanitaryware and a smart home entry system. It is a finish level that places these homes among the luxury apartments Dubai buyers compare on finishes as much as on views.

About the developer

Ellington Properties is a boutique Dubai developer with a design-led approach. Its focus is on residential buildings with considered architecture, careful detailing and high-quality finishes. Buyers who already follow Ellington projects will recognise the pattern here: a limited collection of homes, close attention to interiors, and wellness facilities given as much weight as the apartments themselves.

Pricing and payment plan

The launch price listed for Ocean House is AED 40,000,000. The price sheet gives sizes for each unit type but not individual prices, so the figure for a specific layout, floor and view should be confirmed against current availability before you commit.

The payment plan is split into three stages:

• 20% on booking
• 40% during construction
• 40% on handover

With handover planned for December 2026, a large part of the construction-stage instalments may already be due when you sign. Ask for the schedule as it applies on your booking date. The 40% due on handover is the part of this payment plan Dubai buyers often value most, because it is paid only once the home is ready to be inspected and received.

Buyer's guide for this project

The Dubai Land Department registration fee is 4% of the purchase price and is paid on top of the price. Off-plan payments are made into the project's escrow account, which is tied to construction progress rather than paid freely to the developer. Before you buy property in Dubai on an off-plan contract, check these points for Ocean House:

• The unit number, floor, view and whether a private pool or garden is included
• The escrow account details and the Oqood registration of the sales agreement
• The handover date written in the contract and the latest construction update
• Which instalments are already due at the point of booking
• The developer's estimate of annual service charges

As a real estate agency Dubai buyers rely on for off-plan purchases, Mahboob Estate can request floor plans, the current price list and the payment schedule from Ellington, and walk you through each document before you sign.

Who it suits

Ocean House suits buyers who want a large home on the water and plan to move in, or let it out, soon after December 2026. Families comparing apartments for sale in Dubai will look at the 3 and 4 bedroom layouts, while the penthouse and presidential residence suit buyers who want privacy, outdoor space and room for guests.

It also fits a buyer who prefers to see the finished product quickly rather than wait several years for a launch-stage building. Among Palm Jumeirah properties still sold off-plan, a near-complete project keeps construction risk lower and makes the decision easier to plan around. For Dubai property investment on the Crescent, the main questions are the exact unit, the view and the service charges, and those can all be checked before booking.

Waterfront properties Dubai buyers can reach this close to completion are limited at any given time, so it is sensible to review availability early. Our team can set Ocean House side by side with other properties for sale in Dubai on the water, using the same checklist for each. Taken together, the location, the finishes and the short wait to handover are what set this building apart within Dubai real estate on the Palm.
