The Sanctuary by Ellington Properties

Ellington is a developer known for creating exclusive projects such as Ocean House, Ellington House, and Hillmont Residences. These properties are located in prestigious areas and feature distinctive designs that set them apart.

High-end homes offering exclusive amenities from the developer present an ideal investment opportunity. The cost of off-plan properties in Dubai is notably more appealing compared to finished properties, with prices typically increasing by 10 to 30% from the construction phase to completion. Purchasing during the excavation stage is especially advantageous.

Homes in the project are suitable for resale. Prices for off-plan villas increased by 17% in 2023, influenced by high demand for luxury residences. Moreover, District 11 is among the most popular premium off-plan projects in the emirate.

The villas are poised to attract affluent families for rental purposes, making properties in The Sanctuary for investment lucrative long-term assets. Returns in MBR City range from 6 to 7.5% per annum and may increase as the master community develops.
