01 / The project
A closer look.
Ellington Sands is a beachfront development on Dubai Islands. Its two releases pair apartment buildings with shared pools, gardens and beach facilities; the named phase documents need to be checked against the specific home being offered.
Sands I parking: one space for 1–2BR, two for 3–4BR. AED 18/ft² is an anticipated service charge, not an approved current levy.
