Al Yalayis 1 · Dubai · COMING SOON
Al Yalayis Ellington is an upcoming master community in Dubai, expected to feature design-led apartments, family townhouses and spacious villas within a landscaped residential neighbourhood by Ellington Properties.
Al Yalayis Ellington is an upcoming master-planned residential community by Ellington Properties in Al Yalayis 1, Dubai. The development is expected to bring Ellington’s recognised design-led approach into a complete neighbourhood featuring contemporary homes, landscaped surroundings and lifestyle-focused spaces.
The community is anticipated to offer a diverse collection of apartments, family townhouses and spacious villas. Each residential type is expected to combine modern architecture, functional layouts and carefully considered interiors with convenient access to green spaces, recreational facilities and community amenities.
Designed for families, professionals and long-term residents, Al Yalayis Ellington may provide a more connected way of living within Dubai’s expanding southern corridor. The official masterplan, residence configurations, amenities, prices and completion schedule will be confirmed when Ellington Properties formally launches the development.
Al Yalayis Ellington is expected to create a connected residential environment where contemporary homes, landscaped spaces and lifestyle facilities come together. The master community may include apartments, townhouses and villas supported by pedestrian routes, recreational areas and convenient everyday services.
The final masterplan for Al Yalayis Ellington has not yet been officially released. The development is anticipated to prioritise greenery, comfortable movement and convenient connections between homes and shared facilities. Official community zones, plot locations and development phases will be confirmed by Ellington Properties at launch.
Al Yalayis Ellington is expected to feature a diverse collection of contemporary apartments, family townhouses and spacious villas. Each residential option will reflect Ellington Properties’ design-led approach while providing access to the wider community’s landscaped spaces and lifestyle amenities.
Ellington's core competence, and the reason the brand has a following. Efficient layouts, deep balconies, and lobbies treated as rooms rather than corridors — positioned closest to the community's retail, pools and wellness core.
The volume product and the price anchor for the community. Private gardens, direct street access and a garage, arranged in short clusters that open onto the landscaped spine rather than onto parking.
The perimeter addresses — larger plots, four sides of privacy, and the quietest streets in the plan. Expect Ellington's material palette applied at a scale the developer has never worked at before.
The matrix below is the fullest picture circulating ahead of launch. Read it as a guide to the shape of the community — where each product sits and how the ladder is spaced — rather than as confirmed pricing.
| Unit type | Size | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | ~800 sq ft | AED 1.28M |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | ~1,100 sq ft | AED 1.76M |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | Multiple layouts | AED 2.30M |
| 2 Bedroom Townhouse | 1,600 – 1,700 sq ft | AED 2.56M |
| 3 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,200 – 2,300 sq ft | AED 3.52M |
| 4 Bedroom Townhouse | 3,000 – 3,200 sq ft | AED 4.80M |
| 4 Bedroom Villa | ~4,000 sq ft | AED 6.40M |
| 5 Bedroom Villa | 5,500 – 6,000 sq ft | AED 8.80M |
Every figure above is pre-launch broker guidance, not an Ellington price list. The table is internally consistent at roughly AED 1,600 per square foot across all eight products, which means it is almost certainly a modelled matrix rather than eight separately quoted prices — treat the rate as the estimate and the individual numbers as arithmetic from it. Independent reporting has separately put 3-bedroom townhouses near AED 3.4M, which is close enough to be a useful sanity check on that rate. Confirmed sizes and prices are issued by the developer at launch.
Al Yalayis Ellington is expected to offer a thoughtfully selected range of leisure, wellness and recreational facilities for residents of all ages. Landscaped outdoor spaces and community-focused amenities may support an active, comfortable and connected lifestyle close to home.
Swimming and leisure pools at the community core, with shaded lounging decks.
A residents-only screening room — an Ellington signature carried into the masterplan.
Dedicated treatment suites alongside the wellness and fitness offer.
Indoor gym floors plus outdoor training areas set into the landscape.
A continuous loop through the park spine, shaded and separated from traffic.
Multi-use courts for padel, tennis and basketball within the community.
Landscaped open space with children's play zones and shaded gathering lawns.
Day-to-day convenience retail and cafés inside the gates, walkable from home.
24-hour security with controlled access across the whole masterplan.
À la carte concierge — an Ellington offer, unusual at this price point.
Al Yalayis Ellington is planned for Al Yalayis 1, a developing residential area in southern Dubai with convenient access to Emirates Road (E611). The location provides road connections towards Dubai South, Expo City Dubai, Jebel Ali and other important business and lifestyle destinations.With Dubai continuing to expand towards its southern districts, Al Yalayis is emerging as a promising location for new master-planned communities. The area offers the space required for landscaped neighbourhoods, family homes and community-focused facilities while remaining connected to Dubai’s wider road network.Its position may particularly appeal to families and professionals seeking access to Dubai South, the Jebel Ali corridor and Al Maktoum International Airport. Future infrastructure and surrounding development may further strengthen the area’s connectivity and residential appeal.
Drive times are approximate, based on pre-launch guidance and current road conditions.

Ellington's standard structure is expected to carry over to Al Yalayis — a construction-linked plan that spreads the majority of the purchase across the build, with a meaningful balance held back until the keys are handed over.
20% on booking, then 50% across milestone instalments as the build progresses.
Settled at completion, expected Q2 2030 as sub-communities are delivered in phases.
Paid at reservation to secure the unit and the launch price.
Spread across construction milestones between booking and completion.
The balance, due when the keys are released — Q2 2030 expected.
Al Yalayis 1 is a designated freehold area — open to buyers of every nationality.
Purchases meeting the DLD threshold can support a 10-year UAE residency application.
Off-plan payments are held in a RERA-registered escrow account for the project.
4% Dubai Land Department registration applies; developer waivers are sometimes offered at launch.
The 70/30 split reflects Ellington's standard terms and pre-launch guidance. The binding milestone schedule is issued with the official launch documentation.
Ellington's back catalogue is the strongest argument the project has. Across its last fifteen projects the developer has posted numbers that most Dubai launches cannot match.
Average capital appreciation across fifteen recent Ellington projects — around 50% for studios, rising to as much as 69% for two-bedroom units.
Gross rental yields recorded on Ellington stock in Dubai Hills — evidence that the amenity-led approach holds tenants as well as buyers.
Masterplan launches are historically priced at their lowest in phase one, before the amenities and later phases reset the community's benchmark.
Past performance figures relate to previous Ellington projects and are not a forecast for Al Yalayis. Property values can fall as well as rise. This page is information, not financial or investment advice — take independent advice before committing.
Founded in Dubai in 2014, Ellington built its name on a single premise: that design should be the product, not the packaging.
Its portfolio runs through Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Hills Estate, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina — buildings recognisable for curated art programmes, restrained material palettes and amenity floors that feel closer to a members' club than a residential podium.
Al Yalayis is the developer's most ambitious move to date: a first master community, a first venture into townhouses and villas, and a first attempt to apply an interior-design sensibility to an entire neighbourhood plan.
Al Yalayis by Ellington launches with a first release that is expected to be materially cheaper than everything that follows it. Registration costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
