Berkeley Tower, in plain numbers.
Berkeley Tower is Ellington Properties’ largest and tallest commercial development, a G+60 Grade A office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road next to Business Bay Metro Station, a few minutes from Downtown Dubai and DIFC. The project was unveiled on 16 October 2026 with a development value of about AED 2.8 billion.
There are 109 offices in six configurations over 579,681 sq ft of sellable area, with ceilings of 3.8 to 4.1 metres: single offices of 1,132 to 1,389 sq ft on levels 1 to 31, larger suites and full floors of 12,182 to 12,507 sq ft on levels 36 to 52, and a two-floor duplex of 21,873 sq ft on levels 54 and 55. Five amenity floors hold business lounges, a co-working hub with focus pods, pilates, fitness and spinning studios, a games room and landscaped sky terraces facing the sea and Palm Jumeirah, served by 12 double-deck lifts and robotic parking.
The payment plan is 70/30: 20 per cent on booking, 5 per cent at 90, 180, 240 and 360 days, 5 per cent at each construction milestone from 20 to 70 per cent, and 30 per cent on completion, which Ellington expects in 2031. The 4 per cent Land Department fee and 5 per cent VAT are paid on top. Prices are released at launch; we register expressions of interest now.
Berkeley Tower is an off-plan commercial project by Ellington Properties in Sheikh Zayed Road, Business Bay, Dubai. Handover is planned for Q2 2031. No sales have reached the Land Department register yet.

What it costs beyond the price.
- Land Department registration (Oqood): 4% of the price, usually paid with the booking instalment, plus the developer's small registration fee.
- No agency fee to you when you buy from the developer: the developer pays our commission.
- Your payments go into the project's escrow account, released to the developer as construction is certified.
- At handover: service charges start, and a mortgage can finance the final payment if the plan allows it.
General guidance; we confirm every fee for this project in writing before you reserve.
