Meriva Sunset by Ellington

Meriva Sunset is an off-plan residential building by Ellington Properties in The Meriva Collection on Island B, Dubai Islands. It has a ground floor, 20 residential floors and a rooftop over a basement, and holds 377 residences, part of 903 residences in The Meriva Collection. The mix covers 1 to 4 bedroom apartments and 3 and 4 bedroom penthouses, with handover expected in Q2 2030.

Meriva Sunset is part of The Meriva Collection, Ellington Properties' beachfront community on Island B at Dubai Islands. The developer's project brief gives driving times of about 5 minutes to Dubai Islands Mall, 18 minutes to Dubai International Airport, 30 minutes to DIFC and 35 minutes to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

Meriva Sunset offers 1 bedroom apartments of ≈ 837 sq ft (78 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of ≈ 1,281 sq ft (119 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of ≈ 1,687 sq ft (157 sq m) and 4 bedroom dual aspect apartments of ≈ 2,899 sq ft (269 sq m). Penthouses come as 3 bedroom units of ≈ 3,638 - 3,702 sq ft (338 - 344 sq m) and 4 bedroom units of ≈ 3,367 - 4,648 sq ft (313 - 432 sq m). The developer's plans also include corner, study and dual-aspect layouts, and show private balcony pools on selected penthouses.

Prices start from AED 3.06M ≈ USD 832K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments are priced from AED 4.31M ≈ USD 1.17M, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 6.67M ≈ USD 1.82M and 4 bedroom dual aspect apartments from AED 11.81M ≈ USD 3.21M. 3 bedroom penthouses range from AED 12.00M to AED 15.00M and 4 bedroom penthouses from AED 17.00M to AED 22.00M. Ellington Properties prices each unit by release, so the figure for a specific home depends on its floor, view and release.

The plan is 70/30. Buyers pay 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee at booking, then 10% at 60 days and 5% each at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date, which brings the total paid to 50% within the first year. Four further 5% instalments are linked to construction progress milestones set by the developer, and the final 30% is due on completion.

Handover is expected in Q2 2030. Meriva Sunset is at an early stage of its off-plan timeline, so most of the build still lies ahead. Readings from the DLD project register and RERA inspection data are tracked in the Meriva Sunset construction updates guide.

The developer's amenities plan places adults and kids' pools, a pool bar, a padel court, a basketball court, a jogging track, barbeque and outdoor fitness areas, a fitness studio with juice bar, a yoga and pilates studio and changing rooms with sauna at ground level. The 12th floor adds a lap pool, jacuzzi, fitness zone and cabanas, the 13th floor an adults pool and barbeque deck, and the 17th floor mini golf, a viewing deck and outdoor giant chess.

Yes, Meriva Sunset by Ellington Properties is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Every Meriva Sunset price tier, starting with the 1 bedroom apartment at AED 3.06M, sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Approval rests with the UAE authorities, and the dedicated Meriva Sunset Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Yes. The full process, from the AED 40,000 booking token and booking form to the down payment, SPA signing and DLD registration by the developer, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with Ellington Properties on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Off-plan instalments are paid into the DLD-registered escrow account for The Meriva Collection, held with Sharjah Islamic Bank, and released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Meriva Sunset escrow account guide explains how the account works and how to check it.

Ellington Properties' anticipated service charge is AED 18 per sq ft. Parking is allocated by unit type: 1 space for 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, 2 spaces for 3 and 4 bedroom apartments, and 3 spaces for penthouses. The building is served by 6 lifts.
