The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
Budget for the service charge.
Buildings in this area paid a median of AED 17 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 16 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (767 sq ft) that is about AED 13,000 a year.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 85,000 ÷ AED 1,600,000 = 5.3%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

Ellington Claydon House is an Ellington apartment building in Meydan City with one- to four-bedroom homes from AED 1,600,000. Its from price per square foot is in line with 226 similar one-bedroom off-plan sales in Al Merkadh.
Start with the price. The Dubai Land Department lists 226 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Al Merkadh in the 12 months to October 2026, and the from price per square foot is in line with them. These are sales across the area, not in this building, so compare the size, floor and view of your unit with recent sales nearby.
The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover. At the from price that is AED 320,000 to book, AED 800,000 during the build and AED 480,000 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 64,000; ask when it is due. The listed handover is June 2027, so ask for the dated schedule of the construction payments.
The building has 38 residential floors above 5 podium levels, a retail promenade on the ground floor and a community lagoon. Apartments have one to four bedrooms, and the listing gives an overall range of 767 to 3,198 sq ft, so check the floor plan for your unit. Residents can use co-working spaces, a library, a cinema room and karaoke rooms, and for exercise there are boxing and fitness facilities, yoga studios indoors and outdoors, a lap pool for adults and an infinity-edge leisure pool, plus a kids' play area.
Nadd Al Sheba Medical Center is about 1.5 km away. North London Collegiate School and Hartland International School are both about 2.2 km away, around 4 minutes by car. Business Bay Metro Station is about 6 km away, around 17 minutes by car, and Dubai Hills Golf Club about 23 minutes.
