Mercer House

Mercer House is Ellington Properties' entry into the Uptown Dubai district — a new mixed-use destination within the established Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) masterplan by DMCC. The project comprises two residential towers rising from a shared wellness-centric podium that integrates fitness, spa, retail, dining, and hospitality into a single connected base. Its headline feature is a 45,000 sq.ft man-made beach with natural sand and a three-level beach clubhouse — an amenity that is unprecedented in JLT and positions Mercer House as a genuinely differentiated address within one of Dubai's most established rental and lifestyle corridors.

Architecture & Design

Designed by Brewer Smith Brewer Group, the two towers (including a 34-storey South Tower) share a design language of soft curved lines, reflective surfaces, and expansive glazing engineered to capture panoramic views of the Dubai Marina skyline, Ain Dubai, and the Arabian Gulf. The lobby is art-forward — featuring a rotating collection from the Ellington Art Foundation showcasing emerging Dubai artists — and the interiors carry Ellington's signature palette of natural light, warm tones, and generous open-plan layouts.

• Mixed-use podium: residential towers above, retail & hospitality below

The Urban Beach Club & Amenities

Mercer House's podium level is anchored by a fully landscaped 45,000 sq.ft man-made beach — natural sand, sun loungers, and a pool bar — creating a resort-grade weekend destination within the building itself. Above, across, and alongside it, the amenity programme spans fitness, sport, wellness, entertainment, and F&B:

• 45,000 sq.ft man-made beach with natural sand — the first of its kind in JLT

• Three-level beach clubhouse — loungers, bubble pool & pool bar

• Rooftop skyline pool with panoramic city views

• Beach pool at podium level + additional swimming pool

• Scenic sauna & ice room

• Fully equipped fitness studio & spa

• Multi-sports hall — padel courts & squash

• Game room & arcade zone

• Indoor kids' play area

• On-site restaurant, retail centre & cafés

• Yoga and stretching zones

Location — Uptown Dubai / JLT

Uptown Dubai is the newest precinct within the JLT masterplan — positioned to elevate the district from a purely commercial tower cluster into a design-led, mixed-use lifestyle destination. Mercer House sits steps from Sheikh Zayed Road, and critically, within walking distance of two Dubai Metro stations (DMCC & Sobha Realty) — a connectivity advantage that drives tenant demand and underpins long-term asset liquidity:

• Walking distance to DMCC Metro & Sobha Realty Metro stations

• 5 min to Dubai Marina promenade & JBR Beach

• 5 min to Ain Dubai

• Near Palm Jumeirah & Emirates Golf Club

• Steps from Sheikh Zayed Road

• Immediate access to JLT's established restaurant, café & retail scene

Why Invest in Mercer House

JLT is one of Dubai's deepest and most liquid rental markets — with over 2,400 annual sale transactions and mature tenant demand from young professionals, families, and corporate leaseholders. What Mercer House adds to that proven base is the 45,000 sq.ft beach, the Ellington design premium, and the Uptown Dubai positioning — a combination that justifies a rental premium over the existing JLT tower stock, which largely dates from the mid-2000s and lacks comparable shared amenities. At AED 3,023/sq.ft for a 1-bedroom, Mercer House prices above JLT average but below Dubai Marina and Downtown — while delivering an amenity specification that competes with both.
