Where the official page and portals disagree (storey count, exact sizes), we say so rather than pick the prettier number.

Ellington positions The Highgrove as a design-led residential tower by a lagoon in Meydan Horizon. The official site lists one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments plus penthouses, duplexes and a sky villa. ^[1]

Portal unit summaries reviewed put sizes at roughly 778 sq ft at the small end to about 2,787 sq ft for the largest penthouse/sky-villa formats, with 1-bed homes from 778 sq ft, 2-bed from 1,185 sq ft and 3-bed around 1,712 to 1,807 sq ft. The advertised entry price is about AED 1.9 million on the 70/30 plan. Both the size bands and that price are portal figures - the official page we reviewed did not expose a price - so treat them as indicative until a dated developer price list. ^[2]

Renders show a lagoon and landscaped amenity decks. Treat amenity programs as marketing until you read the brochure exhibits and the SPA, not as a verified inventory list.

Handover: Ellington's project site states a completion of Q4 2027, and independent portals repeat it. That is a developer target, not a contractual guarantee - off-plan dates can move, so model a delay buffer and confirm the completion date on your own SPA. ^[1]

Payment plan: the structure is a construction-linked 70/30 ^[2] - 20% at the time of booking, staged instalments across construction, and the balance on completion. The official milestone schedule breaks the middle down into dated and construction-percentage steps that sum to 100%. ^[1]

Reserving in 2026 against a Q4 2027 target still means instalments across the build. Confirm the exact schedule, booking fee and any DLD/Oqood costs in writing before you commit.

Developer: Ellington Properties - a design-led Dubai residential developer. Brand and finish quality are not a substitute for reading escrow terms, variation clauses and a written service-charge estimate on this tower.

Area: MBR City, specifically Meydan Horizon near Bu Kadra, marketed with views toward Ras Al Khor and the Downtown skyline.

Why buyers look here (opinion, not a guarantee): a central-ish MBR City address with lagoon-side positioning and Ellington finish, against the usual off-plan wait and construction risk. Test that against your own timeline and a same-area comparison before assuming demand.

1. Get a dated availability and price sheet from Ellington for the specific unit - do not budget from the "from" figure.
2. Match tower position, floor, net sq ft and view to the SPA and floor plan.
3. Confirm the Q4 2027 completion date in writing ^[1] and the delay/penalty terms.
4. Rebuild the 70/30 payment schedule (dates plus AED) from the SPA in a spreadsheet. ^[2]
5. Verify the RERA project registration and escrow account before transferring funds - neither is asserted here.
6. Ask for an estimated annual service charge and what it covers.
7. Compare against one other MBR City / Meydan off-plan tower on net area, floor, view and all-in cost.

You will find no ROI maths or "limited availability" pressure here.
