Portside Square Tower 1 – 2-Bedroom Apartment in Dubai Maritime City by Ellington Properties

This two-bedroom apartment in Portside Square Tower 1 is part of Ellington Properties' debut waterfront project within Dubai Maritime City, one of the emirate's most distinctive maritime free-zone addresses. The residence offers a total built-up area of 1,215 sq ft, comprising approximately 1,055 sq ft of internal living space and a 160 sq ft external area — a layout that balances practical everyday living with the openness of an outdoor extension.

Listed at AED 3,681,828 (approximately AED 3,031 per sq ft), the apartment is offered directly from the developer under Ellington's off-plan programme. A 70/30 payment plan structures the acquisition: 70% during construction and the remaining 30% on handover, giving buyers a clear and manageable cashflow timeline without having to commit the full purchase price upfront. The stated service charge is AED 17 per sq ft per year, which buyers should factor into their ownership cost modelling alongside the purchase price.

About the development and location
Portside Square sits within Dubai Maritime City, a purpose-built maritime district that combines port infrastructure and free-zone facilities with an emerging residential and waterfront dimension. For buyers weighing up multiple off-plan destinations across Dubai, the 2026 buyer's shortlist of best areas to buy off-plan property in Dubai provides a useful comparative framework — Dubai Maritime City's scarcity of residential supply relative to its strategic harbour position is one differentiating factor worth examining.
