Upper House represents Ellington Properties' landmark entry into the Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) master community — a significant milestone for one of Dubai's most respected boutique luxury developers. Comprising twin towers of 36 floors each (31 residential floors above 5 levels of parking), Upper House introduces Ellington's signature obsession with design quality, exceptional craftsmanship, and innovative amenity programming to a community that has historically been associated with good but not extraordinary residential standards.
This development is not simply another JLT apartment tower. It is a statement of intent — a project designed to reset what residents expect from apartment living in this established lakeside community. From the 37-metre lap pool to the podcast recording room, from the padel tennis court to the dedicated yoga zone, from the outdoor skate park to the sky spa, Upper House has been programmed with a depth and breadth of lifestyle amenities that exceed those found in many five-star hotels.
With approximately 434 units across both towers, a starting price of AED 1.5M, and a near-complete construction timeline targeting Q1 2026 handover, Upper House represents one of the most compelling design-led investment opportunities in JLT's history.
Ellington Properties was founded in 2014 with a clear and differentiated mandate: to develop boutique luxury residential buildings in Dubai that prioritize design quality, artistic collaboration, and lifestyle curation above all other considerations. Unlike volume developers who build in the hundreds of thousands of units, Ellington operates a highly selective development pipeline — choosing specific locations and then applying exceptional design and construction standards to create buildings that consistently out-perform the market.
Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) is one of Dubai's most established and vibrant mixed-use communities, developed by DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) along the banks of three interconnected man-made lakes. The community spans approximately 200 hectares and comprises 80+ residential and commercial towers arranged around landscaped lakeside promenades.
JLT's primary appeal lies in its exceptional pedestrian-friendliness, waterfront lifestyle, and superb connectivity. The community is walkable in a way that few Dubai neighborhoods are — residents regularly walk to restaurants, parks, cafes, and the Metro without requiring a vehicle.
Upper House's proximity to JLT Metro Station (Dubai Metro Red Line) provides direct, traffic-free connectivity to downtown, DIFC, and the entire Metro network — a major factor driving rental demand from young professionals who commute to central Dubai's financial districts.
Upper House is designed as a pair of clean, contemporary towers that establish a clear visual identity on JLT's skyline while complementing the existing lakeside aesthetic.
The towers feature a refined contemporary facade with strong horizontal banding, deep-set balconies providing genuine outdoor space, and floor-to-ceiling glazing offering panoramic views across the JLT lakes, Emirates Golf Club, and the Dubai Marina skyline.
Ellington's interior design language at Upper House reflects the developer's arts-led design approach — spaces that function beautifully, are crafted from quality materials, and feel considered rather than cookie-cutter:
| Type | Typical Size | Starting Price | |---|---|---| | Studio | 450–530 sq ft est. | From AED 1.5M | | 1 Bedroom | 700–900 sq ft est. | Available on request | | 2 Bedroom | 1,100–1,400 sq ft est. | Available on request | | 3 Bedroom | 1,700–2,200 sq ft est. | Up to AED 3.4M |
All units feature private balconies with lake or skyline views, and the twin-tower configuration ensures that even mid-floor units enjoy meaningful view corridors across the JLT landscape.
Upper House's amenity programming is the development's most talked-about feature, and for good reason — 19 distinct amenity categories spanning aquatic facilities, active sports, wellness, entertainment, and lifestyle support create a building that functions as a fully integrated urban resort.
JLT is one of Dubai's most liquid and consistently high-yielding residential investment communities:
Ellington developments consistently achieve rental and resale premiums of 15%–25% over comparable non-branded buildings in the same location. Upper House's unprecedented amenity suite is expected to amplify this premium further, as high-quality tenants increasingly prioritize lifestyle facilities in their decision-making.
With handover targeted for Q1 2026, buyers face a short remaining construction period — meaning capital is deployed for minimal time before rental income begins. The risk profile is dramatically lower than projects with 3–5 year construction timelines.
Purchases of AED 2M or above qualify for the UAE 10-Year Investor Golden Visa.
Upper House by Ellington Properties is the most significant residential launch JLT has seen in years — and arguably the development most likely to redefine the community's premium ceiling. With twin 36-floor towers housing ~434 units finished to Ellington's uncompromising design standards, 19 distinct amenity categories including a 37m lap pool, padel tennis, a climbing wall, and a podcast room, and with handover imminent at Q1 2026 — this is a development that delivers on every dimension: design, lifestyle, investment potential, and location. For buyers and investors who have been waiting for the right Ellington project in the right location at the right price, Upper House is the answer.
