From the developer

Project description

Portside Square by Ellington Properties is a freehold waterfront development in Mina Rashid, Dubai. Its three towers, named Portside Residences I to III, contain 408 homes and rise 16 floors above ground and podium levels. Completion is anticipated in Q4 2029, with payments divided into 20% at booking, 50% during construction and 30% on handover. The architecture draws on wind and water, with curved balcony edges wrapping around the towers. The buildings are positioned for views across the Arabian Gulf, Mina Rashid marina promenade and Downtown Dubai skyline. Interiors feature warm timber joinery, stone-look surfaces, large windows and open kitchens with integrated appliances. The residential mix extends from studios to four-bedroom penthouses, with study rooms available in selected layouts. Apartments include balconies, while larger layouts provide laundry areas and guest powder rooms. The four-bedroom penthouses occupy two levels, with one per tower and a large balcony. A landscaped podium provides a leisure pool, children's pool, cabanas, loungers, running track, outdoor fitness space and amphitheatre seating. A four-storey amenities pavilion adds a cinema, games lounge, co-working pods, gym, clubhouse and spa facilities, including saunas, steam showers and hot and cold plunge pools. Indoor and outdoor yoga and Pilates spaces offer additional wellness facilities. Mina Rashid is a coastal district beside Bur Dubai, with access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Jumeirah Beach Road. Nearby destinations include the Queen Elizabeth 2, Etihad Museum and Mina Rashid Marina, while the supplied pages also identify connections to Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai World Trade Centre.
