Windsor House by Ellington

Windsor House is a residential project by Ellington Properties in Dubai South Residential District, made up of 414 studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in two mid-rise buildings, Tower A and Tower B. The developer describes the buildings as two L-shaped blocks wrapped around a shared central courtyard, each with two basement levels, a ground floor and 10 residential floors.

Windsor House is in Dubai South Residential District, on a plot between a Boulevard Road and a Community Road on the developer's site plans. Ellington's project brief lists Al Maktoum International Airport at about 10 minutes by car, Expo City and Etihad Rail Station Dubai at about 16 minutes, the MBR Aerospace Hub at about 17 minutes and Ibn Battuta Mall at about 20 minutes.

Four apartment types are offered: studios from AED 705K ≈ USD 192K (432 to 434 sq ft, 40 sq m), 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.15M ≈ USD 313K (779 to 783 sq ft, 72 to 73 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K (1,127 to 1,142 sq ft, 105 to 106 sq m) and 3 bedroom apartments from AED 2.24M ≈ USD 610K (1,489 to 1,507 sq ft, 138 to 140 sq m). Prices are set by the developer per release and can be revised as units sell, so the binding figure is the one confirmed at reservation.

Windsor House uses a 70/30 payment plan. Buyers pay 20% at booking, 10% 60 days after the reservation date, and 5% each at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date. Four further 5% instalments are tied by the developer to construction milestones, and the remaining 30% is paid on completion. On the AED 705,000 starting price, that is AED 141,000 at booking, AED 70,500 for the 10% instalment, AED 35,250 for each 5% instalment and AED 211,500 on completion.

Reservation starts with an AED 40,000 booking token, paid by UAE cheque or through the developer's card payment portal, together with a passport copy, home address, email address and contact number. The buyer then pays the down payment and registration fees, including the 4% DLD registration fee, and receives two copies of the Sales and Purchase Agreement to sign. Once the signed agreements are executed, Ellington Properties registers the unit with the Dubai Land Department and sends the buyer a copy.

Handover is planned for Q3 2028. The project is at an early stage of construction, so buyers should confirm the handover timetable with the developer in writing before signing. Progress against RERA inspection records is tracked in the Windsor House construction updates guide.

The developer gives an anticipated service charge of AED 17 per sq ft, an estimate that can change before handover. Studios, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments come with one parking space and 3 bedroom apartments with two. Each building has two passenger elevators and one service elevator.

The developer's amenity list includes an adult pool with baja shelf, a shaded kids pool, sun loungers and cabanas, an indoor fitness studio and outdoor fitness area, a Pilates studio, an outdoor yoga area and meditation pods, changing rooms with steam and sauna, a clubhouse with games area and terrace, indoor and outdoor kids play areas, a barbecue and outdoor dining pavilion, a bocce ball court and croquet game, outdoor table tennis, a lawn with social zones, a pet wash and play area, bicycle parking with a repair station, an independent car wash bay, and F & B and retail shops at ground level.

Yes. Windsor House is a freehold property, open to all nationalities, and each apartment is registered in the buyer's own name with the Dubai Land Department.

Only one apartment type reaches the threshold. The 10-year UAE Golden Visa through property requires a property value of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Windsor House only the 3 bedroom apartments, priced from AED 2.24M ≈ USD 610K, sit above that level; studios, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments are priced below it. Meeting the value does not guarantee a visa, because approval rests with the UAE authorities. The Windsor House Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps.

Off-plan instalments are paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with Sharjah Islamic Bank and released to the developer against construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. How the account works and how to check it is explained in the Windsor House escrow account guide.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing and DLD registration can all be completed without travelling to Dubai, and I manage the remote purchase end to end with the developer on the buyer's behalf. Each stage is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
