Portside Square

Portside Square is Ellington Properties' first signature development in Mina Rashid — Dubai's historic maritime district, currently being transformed into one of the city's most sought-after waterfront addresses. The project comprises three sculptural 16-storey towers housing 408 freehold residences, all oriented toward panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, the marina, and the Downtown Dubai skyline. Adjacent to the iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 hotel and the Mina Rashid luxury yacht marina, Portside Square occupies a position with virtually no comparable freehold competition in the immediate area — a rarity in mature Dubai.Architecture & DesignThe three towers are shaped by the natural motion of wind and water — their façades built from soft curves and fluid contours that echo the maritime heritage surrounding them. This is not decorative theming: the architectural language runs through the building's entire composition, from the sculptural podium to the geometry of each balcony edge. Constructed in compliance with Dubai Green Building Regulations, the development is also one of Ellington's most sustainability-conscious releases.Floor-to-ceiling glazing framing marina and skyline viewsWide glass panels maximising natural light across all layoutsNeutral palette with premium finishes, high ceilings, and quality cabinetry throughoutOpen-plan interiors with expansive private balconiesUnfurnished — allows full personalisationEV charging stations, bicycle parking & dedicated storage integrated into the podiumResidencesThe full collection spans from compact studios to three exclusive four-bedroom penthouses at the top of the towers — with 1 and 2-bedroom apartments forming the core of the offer:1-bedroom apartments 2-bedroom apartments Studios, 2BR+study & 3-bedroom apartments also available4-bedroom penthouses top floors with 360° views408 total units across three towers — boutique scale for the locationAt least 1 parking space per unit; 2 for larger residencesAmenities & LifestyleThe podium level at Portside Square is conceived as a resort-within-the-community — a multi-level landscaped platform where wellness, leisure, and social life converge directly above the waterfront:Infinity-edge leisure pool with dedicated children's water zonesSun lounger deck, poolside cabanas & shaded outdoor seatingAqua cycling, Pilates & aromatherapy spa facilitiesFitness studio + outdoor fitness areasYoga area & wellness studioClubhouse & cinema loungeCo-working spacesArcade room & kids' play zoneRunning track, sports areas & landscaped green lawnsAmphitheatre for community eventsWaterfront promenade with retail & dining outletsLandscaped garden terraces throughout podium levelsLocation — Mina Rashid, DubaiMina Rashid — also known as Port Rashid or Rashid Yachts & Marina — is one of Dubai's oldest and most character-rich waterfront districts, now undergoing a landmark transformation into a luxury marina and lifestyle destination. Portside Square sits at its heart, directly adjacent to two of the district's anchor landmarks:Steps from the Queen Elizabeth 2 hotel (iconic retired ocean liner, now a heritage hotel)Fronting Mina Rashid luxury yacht marina & Dubai Cruise Terminal2 min to Etihad Museum~12 min to DIFC~15–20 min to Dubai International Airport (DXB)Direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11)Why Invest in Portside SquarePortside Square is Ellington's first project in Mina Rashid — and in a district where new freehold supply is structurally constrained, being first matters. The combination of a boutique 408-unit scale, Ellington's consistent design premium (independently tracked to outperform comparable projects by a minimum of 2% in rental ROI), and Mina Rashid's ongoing transformation into a marina lifestyle hub creates a compelling case for both investors and end-users. At AED 3,066/sq.ft with a Q4 2029 handover on a 20/50/30 payment plan, buyers benefit from the longest construction runway — and the largest off-plan pricing advantage — of any active Ellington project. Fully freehold, open to all nationalities.
