Project general facts
Portside Square by Ellington Properties is a distinctive waterfront development set within the historic Mina Rashid, where contemporary architecture is inspired by the rhythm of the sea. Comprising three sculptural towers — Portside Residences I, II, and III — the project is defined by fluid lines, soft contours, and shimmering façades that reflect natural light. The design creates a seamless connection between sea, sky, and structure, offering residences with open layouts, expansive glazing, and panoramic views that bring a sense of calm sophistication to everyday living.
The lifestyle at Portside Square is elevated by a comprehensive collection of amenities designed for wellness, leisure, and social connection. Residents enjoy access to leisure and lap pools, landscaped decks, a fitness pavilion, and dedicated spa and sauna zones. Yoga areas, co-working spaces, cinema and games lounges, and a children’s club create a balanced, community-focused environment, while jogging paths, garden courtyards, and marina-facing lounges enhance the outdoor experience and reinforce the project’s waterfront character.
Interiors are finished with modern design and high-quality materials, combining natural textures with refined detailing to create elegant and comfortable living spaces. Equipped kitchens are seamlessly integrated with premium appliances, supporting both functionality and style. Residences are offered unfurnished, allowing homeowners to personalize their interiors while benefiting from a sophisticated architectural foundation and carefully curated finishes.

Why Dubai off-plan
The macro case for buying off-plan in Dubai
These six pillars apply to every project on this site, not just this one. If you're new to the UAE market, they're the context you need before evaluating the specific unit above.
0% interest, ever
Off-plan payment plans are interest-free, end to end. Every instalment is at face value, no APR, no compounding, no balloon hidden in the back. Buyers from interest-bearing markets routinely underestimate how much this saves over a 3-5 year hold.
No income or capital-gains tax on property
Dubai charges no annual property tax, no income tax on rental yield, and no capital-gains tax on resale. The DLD 4% transfer fee is a one-time cost at registration, after that, your returns are yours.
20% usually opens the unit
Most off-plan plans book with a ~20% reservation deposit. You're under contract with the developer immediately, with the rest spread across construction milestones. The deposit is what unlocks the buy-side, not the full unit price.
Post-handover plans extend the runway
Many projects offer 2-4 years of post-handover instalments, meaning a chunk of the price gets paid AFTER you take keys. Once the unit is rented, that income can help cover the post-handover payments, rarely the full instalment, but enough to make the cash-flow comfortable rather than tight.
Golden Visa from AED 2M
A property purchase of AED 2M+ qualifies the buyer (and family) for the UAE Golden Visa, a 10-year renewable residency. The visa is the headline benefit; for many international buyers it's the actual reason to buy in Dubai.
Freehold ownership for foreigners
Across the 80+ freehold zones (Dubai Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Hills, and the rest), foreigners own 100% of the asset and the land. There's no Emirati partner requirement, no lease structure, title deed in your name.
