What's Being Planned

A Master Community, Not Another Building

For a decade Ellington's name has meant a single type of address — a design-led apartment building in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Hills or MBR City. What's now taking shape in Al Yalayis 1 is a different scale of project entirely: a gated, self-contained neighbourhood rather than one more tower.

Pre-launch guidance points to a mix of townhouses and villas as the backbone of the residential offer here, arranged around a shared spine of parks, sports facilities and everyday retail rather than a single amenity floor. Some early coverage of this community frames it under the working name "Ellington Master Community" and describes it sitting near the established Mira district — consistent with Al Yalayis 1's own position on the Emirates Road corridor, next to Town Square and Mira.

None of this is confirmed by Ellington yet. Treat what follows as pre-launch guidance to plan around, not a published masterplan — and see the main Al Yalayis by Ellington page for the fuller residence matrix, including apartments.

The Residential Mix

Townhouses and Villas Lead the First Release

Pre-launch guidance across multiple sources is consistent on one point: townhouses carry the community's entry pricing, with villas as the flagship tier on private plots.

2 – 3 Bedrooms

Townhouses

Townhouses at the Ellington Master Community, Al Yalayis 1, Dubai

The community's entry point and, on current guidance, its sharpest first-release value — aimed at both end-users and yield-focused buyers.

  • Sizes~1,500 – 2,000 sq ft

4 Bedrooms

Twin Villas

Semi-detached villas pitched as a middle tier — villa-scale living at a more accessible entry point than a fully detached plot.

  • Sizes~4,000 sq ft

4 – 5 Bedrooms

Standalone Villas

Community Infrastructure

Built as a Neighbourhood, Not a Building

Beyond the pools and fitness studios already expected at any Ellington address, a masterplan of this scale is expected to carry infrastructure a single tower never needs.

Parks & Green Spines

Landscaped parkland threaded between the residential clusters, not confined to one central garden.

Sports Complex

Multi-court facilities sized for a full neighbourhood rather than a resident-lounge afterthought.

Community Gyms

Fitness facilities distributed across the plan, closer to home than a single central clubhouse.

Pools & Splash Play

Family pools paired with dedicated splash zones for younger residents, separate from the adult amenity deck.

Retail & Dining

A community-scale retail core — shops, cafés and restaurants — rather than a single ground-floor unit.

Running Tracks

Dedicated running and cycling loops woven through the landscaped spine.

Nursery

Early-years education planned inside the community, ahead of a school run.

Dog Parks

Dedicated pet-friendly zones — a detail more common to villa communities than apartment towers.

Gated Security

Controlled access and 24-hour security across the full masterplan, not just individual buildings.

Location

Next to Mira, on Dubai's Southern Growth Corridor

Al Yalayis 1 sits directly on the Emirates Road (E611) stretch shared with Town Square and Mira — placing this community inside the wider Reem / Dubailand area that some pre-launch coverage uses to describe it.

  • Mira & Town Square communitiesAdjacent
  • Arabian Ranches10 min
  • Mudon10 min
  • Al Maktoum Intl. Airport (DWC)~30 min
  • Downtown Dubai~25–30 min

Drive times are approximate, based on pre-launch guidance and current road conditions.

Because nothing is official yet. Different channel partners publish different pre-launch estimates for unit count, starting prices and unit mix based on early broker guidance, and those numbers can disagree until Ellington Properties issues its own documentation at launch. Treat every figure on this page, and on comparable pages elsewhere, as indicative.
