Every Eaton Square office is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa threshold, from AED 41.20M ≈ USD 11.22M for a full floor. Whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the current rules of the UAE's ICP, so confirm with the ICP before relying on it.

Eligibility Snapshot

Eaton Square Golden Visa Facts

Eaton Square is a freehold office tower by Ellington in Meydan Horizon with 24 commercial units, entered on the Dubai Land Department register as project 4301 on 13 January 2026, with a construction start recorded on the register as 1 December 2025. The Dubai Land Department project register shows a DLD Register Reading of 5.39% recorded on 20 July 2026, and the RERA inspection report of the same date notes enabling and foundation work progressing. The detail that shapes residency planning here is not price: the three office tiers start at AED 41.20M ≈ USD 11.22M, AED 68.32M ≈ USD 18.60M and AED 71.00M ≈ USD 19.33M, each far above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the UAE Golden Visa program currently sets for investors, as applied under the rules in force on the day you apply. The open point is the asset class: whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the current rules of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), so confirm with the ICP before relying on it. Handover is expected in Q2 2028, against a registered completion date of 30-06-2028 on the DLD register, and that is the point at which the Oqood gives way to a title deed.

Office by Office

How Each Eaton Square Office Compares With the AED 2M Threshold

At most Dubai addresses the Golden Visa test is a price test, and the work is finding a unit that clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Eaton Square turns that around. Its entry format, a full office floor, is priced at more than twenty times the threshold, so price is settled on every tier; what stays open is the asset class, because the tower is commercial and the ICP decides whether an office purchase supports the property-investor route.

Office TypeSizePricePrice vs AED 2M
Full-Floor Offices12,429 sq ft (1,155 sq m)From AED 41.20M ≈ USD 11.22MYes
Special Duplex Office 0121,412 sq ft (1,989 sq m)AED 71.00M ≈ USD 19.33MYes
Special Duplex Office 0220,632 sq ft (1,917 sq m)AED 68.32M ≈ USD 18.60MYes
Every Eaton Square office tier is priced above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own. Whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the ICP's current rules; confirm with the ICP before relying on it.

Why this matters: the value assessed is the registered purchase value on your contract and Oqood, and at Eaton Square that sits far above the threshold on every tier, so a thin margin is not the issue here. A resale purchase is assessed on its own registered value, not on today's list prices. The question that can change the answer is the commercial one: whether an office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the ICP's current rules, so confirm with the ICP, using your specific office and contract value, before relying on it.

Payment Plan and Timing

When Off-Plan Office Buyers at Eaton Square Can Apply

Eaton Square sells on Ellington's 70/30 plan: 20% at the time of booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 10% 60 days after the reservation date, 5% each at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after it, four 5% instalments on completion of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction of the project, and the final 30% on completion. Before handover, your ownership is evidenced by the Oqood, the Dubai Land Department's registration of the off-plan sale, and an application made during construction typically rests on that registration together with proof of the purchase value and of any paid-value condition applied when you apply.

My read on the timing: on this plan the calendar, not the build, sets how much you have paid in the first year. As an example, a buyer who keeps to the schedule has paid 50% of the price within 360 days of the reservation date through the booking payment and the dated instalments, while the construction-linked instalments wait for the build: by the DLD register reading of 5.39% recorded on 20 July 2026, none of them, the first falling at 20% construction, had been triggered. That leaves two realistic windows. An owner who wants residency early, for a relocating family or a business setting up in Dubai, can typically apply on the Oqood once the paid-value condition in force has been met. An owner with no urgency may prefer the simplest file and wait for the title deed at the expected Q2 2028 handover; because that window depends on completion, confirm the current construction timetable with the developer in writing. Either way, two points go to the ICP before you rely on the plan: the paid-value condition current at the time, which is updated from time to time, and whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa under its current rules.

Insights

Project Insights for Eaton Square Office Buyers

Price is the settled part of the Golden Visa question at Eaton Square. The parts that need watching are how the build moves on the official register before the title deed exists, and where your instalments sit until completion. The resources below cover both for this tower.

FAQs

Eaton Square Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

All three. Full-Floor Offices start at AED 41.20M ≈ USD 11.22M for 12,429 sq ft (1,155 sq m), Special Duplex Office 02 is priced at AED 68.32M ≈ USD 18.60M for 20,632 sq ft (1,917 sq m), and Special Duplex Office 01 at AED 71.00M ≈ USD 19.33M for 21,412 sq ft (1,989 sq m), so each tier sits far above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own. Price is therefore not the open question at Eaton Square: whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the ICP's current rules, so confirm with the ICP before relying on it. The general criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Eaton Square is a commercial office tower, and residency applications are assessed under the rules in force on the day you apply. Whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the current rules of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), so confirm with the ICP, using your specific office and contract value, before relying on it. Nothing in the developer's materials or on this page is an eligibility decision for an individual office.

Possibly. Until handover, ownership of an Eaton Square office is evidenced by its Oqood, the Dubai Land Department's registration of the off-plan sale, and applications on off-plan property commonly also look at how much of the price has been paid, under conditions that are updated from time to time. Owners who prefer a file resting on completed ownership can wait for the title deed at the expected Q2 2028 handover. In either case, whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the ICP's current rules, so confirm with the ICP first. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan asks for 20% at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, which is paid to the Dubai Land Department rather than toward the office price, then 10% 60 days after the reservation date and 5% each at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after it, four 5% instalments on completion of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction of the project, and 30% on completion. The dated instalments follow your reservation date, while the construction-linked ones follow the build; by the DLD register reading of 5.39% recorded on 20 July 2026, none of the construction-linked instalments had been triggered. Any paid-value condition current when you apply, and whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa under the ICP's current rules, should be confirmed with the ICP.

Eaton Square is freehold and open to all nationalities, and an office can be registered to more than one owner or, subject to the developer's and the Dubai Land Department's requirements, to a company. How a shared or company-held property is assessed for the Golden Visa, including whether each applicant's own share must reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, is decided under the ICP's rules in force at the time of application. Because whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is also decided under those rules, confirm the ownership structure with the ICP before you sign.

Lending on a commercial office, including whether a bank will fund an off-plan purchase and on what terms, is set by each lender. For the Golden Visa, how a financed property is assessed, for example whether the amount you have paid or the full purchase value is what counts, is decided under the ICP's rules in force at the time of application. Whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa is decided under the same rules, so confirm both points with the lender and the ICP before relying on a financed purchase.

The program currently allows Golden Visa holders to sponsor family members, such as a spouse and children, under the conditions in force when the application is made. Family sponsorship follows the main approval, and for an Eaton Square office that approval first turns on whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa under the ICP's current rules, so confirm that with the ICP before planning family residency around it. The Golden Visa benefits guide covers what sponsorship includes.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable under the conditions in force at renewal. A property-based residency generally depends on keeping the investment that supported it, so selling the office, or reducing the holding, can affect renewal or the visa itself under the rules applied at the time. For an Eaton Square office, whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa at all is decided under the ICP's current rules, so confirm with the ICP before relying on it.

No service fee is charged to buyers who purchase through this advisory: preparing the documents, filing the application and tracking its status are included at no cost. Government fees are separate and payable at the rates the issuing authorities set when you apply, and the decision on the application rests with those authorities.

No. A purchase at any price does not make approval certain: the authorities decide each file against the rules current when it is submitted, with ownership checks and standard security screening, and for an Eaton Square office on whether a commercial office purchase supports the property-investor Golden Visa under the ICP's current rules, which should be confirmed with the ICP before relying on it. Progress toward the title deed is tracked on the Eaton Square construction updates page.
