Overview
Portside Square sits at Mina Rashid, one of Dubai's oldest port areas and now one of its fastest-changing neighbourhoods. Ellington have developed studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments on this waterfront site, all with views directly onto the marina or the sea.
Ellington take design seriously, and that comes through clearly here. Each apartment is well-finished, with full-height glazing, quality materials and layouts built to make the most of the light and the water around it.
Mina Rashid is well-connected. Dubai Creek is close by, and both Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport are roughly 15 to 20 minutes away. At ground level, the plans include a waterfront promenade alongside dining and retail.

FAQs
Yes. Portside Square is a freehold development, open to buyers of any nationality, including those based outside the UAE. Our team can walk you through the full purchase process remotely if you are not in Dubai.
Waasiya operates on a shariah-conscious basis. We only broker off-plan units where the terms are free of riba-linked late-payment fees. If you have specific questions about how a project is structured, please talk to us.
Mina Rashid is one of the more interesting bets in Dubai right now. It sits within the historic Deira waterfront and is going through a serious transformation, with the Queen Elizabeth 2 hotel already there and new infrastructure coming in steadily. It is not as established as Downtown or Dubai Marina, but that is part of why the entry price is still attractive. Buyers who got into those areas early did well, and Mina Rashid has a similar dynamic.
The standard deposit for an off-plan purchase in Dubai is 20% of the purchase price. On Portside Square's entry price, that works out to around AED 340,000 for a studio. Waasiya's relationships with Ellington mean we can sometimes negotiate more flexible payment structures for our clients. Get in touch and we can talk through what is realistic for your situation.
