Construction Snapshot
Ellington Sands at a Glance
Ellington Sands is Ellington Properties' beachfront residential development on Island A, Dubai Islands, and the phase this record follows is registered with the DLD as Ellington Sands I (project 4139): 467 residences in Tower A, with nine residential floors, and Tower B, with seven, over a single shared basement. The register dates the construction start to 10-10-2025 and the registration to 30-10-2025, and its first reading above zero, 0.37%, arrived with the inspection of 5 June 2026, 238 days after that start. One detail sets this record apart from the outset: the developer's Q4 2028 handover and the register's 31-12-2028 completion date sit in the same quarter, so every later reading is measured against a single deadline rather than two competing ones.

Inspection Record
Ellington Sands Construction Update Timeline
So far the Ellington Sands record holds one dated reading: 0.37% on 5 June 2026, the visit at which the RERA report logged enabling works under way on the Island A plot. The register's previous inspection figure of 0% has no date attached, so it sits on the track as an unlabelled baseline dot rather than a table row, while the 10-10-2025 start and the 30-10-2025 registration frame where the count begins. The June 2026 update linked below is illustrated with a developer rendering, not a site photograph; the RERA inspection photographs remain part of the register record.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Ellington Sands Has Been Built
A single dated reading cannot produce a measured pace, so the Ellington Sands record is read here in two parts: the movement the June 2026 inspection shows, and the distance left to the registered completion date:
- Undated previous inspection to 05-06-2026: 0% to 0.37%, enabling worksNo measured pace yet
- 05-06-2026 to the 31-12-2028 registered completion date: 99.63 points left, spread evenly (arithmetic, not a forecast)About 3.18 points per month
There is no curve to read yet. The step from an undated 0% to 0.37% on 5 June 2026 shows that the register has opened its count for Ellington Sands, but with no date on the earlier figure it cannot be converted into points per month, and the enabling works logged in June come before every item of building scope in the RERA project description: the shared basement, a ground level with retail and a two-floor beach club, nine residential floors in Tower A, seven in Tower B and the roof. The 3.18 figure is only the remaining 99.63 points divided evenly across the window to 31-12-2028 in 30-day months, a reference line for later readings and not a prediction of them. For an end user, the reading to watch is the one that reaches 20% construction, where the first construction-linked instalment falls due; for an investor, the second dated reading will be the first real measure of how quickly this low-rise beachfront pair moves.

Ellington Sands Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Only the first two stages below carry dates in the Ellington Sands record. The other three are the scope the RERA project description lists for Tower A and Tower B, shown with the payment points the developer's plan attaches to construction, and no reading has been recorded against them yet.
Start and DLD Registration
The register dates the construction start to 10-10-2025 and the registration to 30-10-2025, as Ellington Sands I, project 4139, with Commercial Bank of Dubai as trust account bank.
Enabling Works
The RERA report of 5 June 2026 logs enabling works progressing and nothing beyond them, while the register reads 0.37% against an undated 0% baseline.
Shared Basement and Ground Level
One basement level beneath both towers, and a ground floor carrying retail and a two-floor beach club, per the RERA project description for project 4139.
Tower A and Tower B Residential Floors
Nine residential floors in Tower A and seven in Tower B. Four 5% instalments fall due on completion of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction; none had been triggered at 0.37% on 5 June 2026.
Roof Level, Finishing and Handover
Roof levels on both towers, residence finishing and the beachfront amenities, then handover scheduled for Q4 2028 per the developer, with the final 30% of the price due on completion.
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's own record.

Between 0.37% and Handover: What Ellington Sands Buyers Should Do Now
At 0.37% on 5 June 2026, Ellington Sands had reached none of its four construction-linked instalments, the first of which falls due at 20% construction, so the money moving at this stage is the dated kind. Those instalments run on each buyer's own calendar, 60, 120, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date, and can fall due well before the register gets anywhere near 20%, which is why the three steps below belong at the start of the build rather than later in it.
First, check every payment request against the escrow details before you transfer; the Ellington Sands escrow account page shows how to match the Commercial Bank of Dubai account for project 4139 in Dubai REST.
Second, decide your residency timing early: every unit type is priced from AED 2.40M ≈ USD 654K, and the Ellington Sands Golden Visa route explains filing on the Oqood before the Q4 2028 handover or on the title deed after it.
Third, follow each new reading as it lands; the Ellington Sands June 2026 inspection record holds the full 5 June 2026 register detail, and every later reading joins the timeline above.

FAQs
Ellington Sands Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Ellington Sands is an active DLD-registered project, listed as Ellington Sands I (project 4139), at the enabling works stage: the register read 0.37% at the inspection of 5 June 2026, and the RERA report for that visit logged enabling works progressing. The full record is in the inspection timeline above.
The Ellington Sands register reading moved 0.37 points, from an undated 0% previous-inspection figure to 0.37% at the inspection of 5 June 2026. Because the earlier figure is undated, the move cannot be expressed as a monthly pace; the visit itself is documented in the Ellington Sands June 2026 construction update.
The Ellington Sands handover, which the developer schedules for Q4 2028, and the 31-12-2028 registered completion date that the DLD lists for project 4139 fall in the same quarter, the register date being its last day. Both dates lie ahead, and at the 5 June 2026 reading of 0.37% the build was at enabling works. The date that binds each buyer is the completion date written into their own SPA, which can be set against the current register entry in the Dubai REST app.
Ellington Sands has 467 residences, per the developer, in two buildings over one shared basement: Tower A with a ground floor, nine residential floors and a roof level, and Tower B with a ground floor, seven residential floors and a roof level. The RERA project description for project 4139 adds ground-level retail and a two-floor beach club.
The DLD register dates the Ellington Sands construction start to 10-10-2025, twenty days before the project was registered on 30-10-2025; both dates are shown here exactly as the register lists them. The first reading above zero, 0.37%, followed at the inspection of 5 June 2026, 238 days after the recorded start.
Each Ellington Sands reading on this page is the DLD register figure for project 4139, published in the Dubai REST app after a RERA site inspection. The RERA report of 5 June 2026 gives a progress status, enabling works progressing, but no percentage, so the 0.37% recorded that day is attributed to the register. Every dated reading becomes a row in the timeline above, linked to its monthly update, and the general method is set out on the Dubai construction updates methodology page.
