Introducing Art Bay at Al Jaddaf by Ellington from AED 1.05M

Art Bay is Ellington Properties' first project in Al Jaddaf, and it is fair to say it is one of the more thoughtfully positioned launches Ellington has done in recent years. Located directly on the Al Jaddaf Waterfront along the banks of Dubai Creek, this is an off-plan residential project in Dubai that brings together two towers, Art Bay East and Art Bay West, on one of the few remaining waterfront addresses in this part of the city.

Developed jointly by Ellington Properties and Dutco Group, Art Bay offers studios and 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with sizes ranging from 430 sq.ft to 2,459 sq.ft. Prices start from AED 1,050,828 and handover is planned for Q3 2026. What makes the project stand out apart from location address is its whole idea around art as a way of living. The exterior design draws directly from the neighbouring Jameel Arts Centre, the amenity offering includes a dedicated Art Club and rooftop art space, and the overall character of the building displays the cultural identity of Al Jaddaf.

Architecture

The design of Art Bay is one of the more considered in this part of Dubai. Rather than building something that simply faces the water, Ellington Properties has taken its inspiration from the surrounding cultural district and made the building itself feel like it belongs to it.

Inside, the apartments are built to Ellington's usual standard which is consistently above average for the mid-market segment in Dubai. The development also includes smart home technology across all units, covering lighting, climate control and security through a smartphone interface.

A few specific design details worth noting:

1. Cube-inspired facade referencing the adjacent Jameel Arts Centre
2. Floor-to-ceiling windows with direct Dubai Creek views across most units
3. Spacious private balconies and terraces on each home
4. Glass box corner feature on selected 2 and 3 bedroom corner units
5. Laundry room and powder room included in all apartments
6. Storage room and pantry available in select units
7. Smart home automation covering lighting, climate and security
8. Fully fitted interiors with high quality fixtures and finishes
9. Energy efficient appliances throughout
