Construction Snapshot
Ellington Sands 2 at a Glance
Ellington Sands 2 is Ellington's 456-residence beachfront development on Island A, Dubai Islands, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as Ellington Sands II under project 4140. Its record so far holds more dates than readings: a construction start of 10 October 2025, registration on 31 October 2025, and one dated reading, 0.38% on 5 June 2026, taken while enabling works were progressing at the site. With handover expected in Q4 2028, almost all of the build this page will chart for Tower A and Tower B still lies ahead of that first figure.

Inspection Record
Ellington Sands 2 Construction Update Timeline
One dated reading anchors this timeline so far: 0.38% on 5 June 2026, the first figure above zero for Ellington Sands 2, set between a recorded construction start of 10 October 2025 and a registered completion date of 31 December 2028. The DLD app lists 0% as the previous inspection but shows no date for it, so that 0% sits on the track as an unlabelled point rather than a table row. The card under the track carries the developer rendering used on the June 2026 page, an illustration of the planned buildings rather than a photograph of the site, and each new dated reading will add a row to the table.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Ellington Sands 2 Has Been Built
A measured pace needs two dated readings, and the Ellington Sands 2 register holds one: 0.38% on 5 June 2026, after an undated 0%. What the record does allow is arithmetic, not a forecast:
- 10 Oct 2025 to 5 Jun 2026: recorded start to the 0.38% reading, 238 daysAbout 0.05 points per 30-day month
- 5 Jun 2026 to 31 Dec 2028: 0.38% to 100% by the registered completion date, 940 daysAbout 3.18 points per 30-day month to reach 100%
The gap between those two numbers is the defining feature of this record at its opening, and it is not a verdict on timing. The 0.05 averages a 238-day window that the 5 June 2026 RERA report describes only as enabling works on the Island A plot; the 3.18 is simply the 99.62 points still to go spread across the 940 days left to the registered completion date. Neither figure predicts the next reading, and a true pace between inspections becomes possible only when the register shows a second dated figure for project 4140. For an end user planning around the Q4 2028 handover, the record has barely begun; for an investor, nearly the whole build curve, including the 20% mark that triggers the first construction-linked instalment, is still ahead.

Ellington Sands 2 Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is tied to what the Ellington Sands 2 record actually shows: two dated register events in October 2025, one reading in June 2026, and the planned towers the 5 June 2026 RERA report describes but no reading has reached yet.
Construction Start and Registration
The register records construction starting on 10 October 2025 and the project being registered as Ellington Sands II on 31 October 2025, 21 days later.
Enabling Works on the Island A Plot
The RERA progress report of 5 June 2026 found enabling works progressing at the site, logged as Enabling Works, Progressing, with the register at 0.38%.
Basement and Ground Floor
The RERA report describes a basement and ground floor carrying residential, retail and entertainment uses, including a two-floor beach club, beneath both towers.
Tower A and Tower B Structure
Tower A with 9 residential floors and Tower B with 6, plus roof, in the RERA report's wording; 20% construction triggers the first construction-linked instalment.
Finishing, Commissioning, and Handover
Handover is expected in Q4 2028; the registered completion date on the DLD record is 31 December 2028, the closing day of that quarter.
What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the guides on the Dubai Construction Updates hub, so this page stays focused on Ellington Sands 2's own record.

Between 0.38% and Handover: What Ellington Sands 2 Buyers Should Do Now
At 0.38% on 5 June 2026, Ellington Sands 2 stood 19.62 points short of the 20% construction mark that triggers the first construction-linked instalment of its 70/30 plan, while the instalments counted from each buyer's reservation date keep their own calendar. Those reservation-date payments do not wait for the register, so the three steps below belong before your next transfer, not after it.
First, check where each payment is going: the Ellington Sands 2 escrow account page names Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank as the trust bank on record for project 4140 and walks through matching it to the DLD register.
Second, if residency is part of your plan, read the Ellington Sands 2 Golden Visa guide early; every unit type starts at AED 2.20M ≈ USD 599K or more, and the guide sets out how an off-plan holding is treated before a title deed exists.
Third, follow the record rather than the calendar: this hub adds each new dated register reading as it appears, and the Ellington Sands 2 June 2026 inspection record holds the full detail behind the 0.38% figure.
Send me your unit number on WhatsApp and I will tell you what the latest inspection means for your handover and map the sequence for your specific unit.

FAQs
Ellington Sands 2 Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Ellington Sands 2 is an active project on the Dubai Land Department register, recorded as Ellington Sands II under project number 4140, and its latest reading is 0.38%, recorded on 5 June 2026 while enabling works were progressing at the site. Handover is expected in Q4 2028. Every dated reading is plotted in the Ellington Sands 2 inspection timeline above.
One dated reading: 0.38% on 5 June 2026, which is 0.38 points above the 0% the DLD app lists as the previous inspection. That earlier 0% carries no date, so the timeline shows it as a point on the track rather than as a row, and no pace is measured from it. The full detail of the dated reading is in the Ellington Sands 2 construction update for June 2026.
The Dubai Land Department register records construction starting on 10 October 2025 and the project being registered on 31 October 2025, so the recorded start comes 21 days before registration; both dates are shown here exactly as the register prints them. The first dated reading followed 238 days after the recorded start: 0.38% on 5 June 2026.
Each figure comes from the Dubai Land Department project register for project 4140, read alongside the RERA progress report of the same date. The report for 5 June 2026 notes enabling works progressing at the site and prints no percentage, so 0.38% is the register's reading. That reading was 148 days old on 31 October 2026, when this page was prepared, and a newer one may already appear in the Dubai REST app. The general method is set out on the Dubai Construction Updates hub.
They fall in the same quarter. The DLD register gives 31 December 2028 as the registered completion date for project 4140, the last day of Q4 2028, and handover of Ellington Sands 2 is expected in Q4 2028. From the 5 June 2026 reading of 0.38%, 940 days remain to the registered date. Actual handover is confirmed by Ellington as the build completes, and this page's record is updated as each new inspection is recorded.
No measured pace exists yet, because the only reading before 5 June 2026 is an undated 0%. As arithmetic, not a forecast: 0.38 points over the 238 days from the 10 October 2025 start averages about 0.05 points per 30-day month, and reaching 100% by the 31 December 2028 registered completion date would take about 3.18 points per 30-day month. The working is laid out in the Ellington Sands 2 pace analysis above.
