About The Quayside

Off Plan Business Bay Development

The Quayside is a single-tower residential development in Business Bay, configured as ground floor plus three podium levels plus 16 residential floors, totalling 119 units. Developed by Ellington Properties, the building is being delivered on a concrete structure with internal and external finishes, and construction was reported at roughly 17% completion against a start date of September 2023 and a targeted end date of March 2026.

The unit mix spans studios through a five-bedroom penthouse: 15 studios, 46 one-bedroom apartments, 42 two-bedroom-plus-maid's units, 14 three-bedroom apartments, and a single penthouse. This range gives the project relevance for buyers searching apartments for sale in Business Bay across multiple budget tiers, from entry-level studios to larger family-sized layouts.

Apartments In Business Bay: Unit Mix

Studios start from 542 sq ft, priced from AED 1,315,828. One-bedroom units range from 758 to 986 sq ft, from AED 1,787,828. Two-bedroom-plus-maid's apartments measure 1,420 to 1,567 sq ft, from AED 3,299,828, while three-bedroom units occupy the same size band from AED 4,226,828. The five-bedroom penthouse spans over 10,004 sq ft, the largest configuration in the building.

Parking allocation follows unit size: studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences receive one parking space, while three-bedroom units receive two. The building runs three passenger elevators and one service elevator, and ownership is on a freehold basis.

Amenities And Design

The ground floor is arranged around a formal lobby sequence, a library wall, a communal table, and outdoor seating areas near the main entrance, with a separate vehicle entry and a move-in truck zone kept apart from resident circulation. The first floor houses the amenity deck: a leisure and lounge pool with a cascading waterfall and Baja shelf, a dedicated kids' pool with indoor and outdoor play areas, cabanas, and net seating by the pool.

Wellness facilities include separate male and female spa rooms, a zen room, and a fitness studio, while the clubhouse level adds a kitchenette, an outdoor lounge terrace, an outdoor dining area, and a pizza oven and barbecue station. EV charging and bicycle facilities are also provided at podium level.

Business Bay Property Investment Case

The anticipated service charge is quoted at AED 18 per sq ft, a figure buyers can use to model holding costs alongside the quoted unit prices when evaluating business bay property investment against comparable off plan Business Bay stock. Handover is targeted for Q1 2026, giving a defined delivery window for investors comparing off plan projects Business Bay wide.

With 119 total units across a single building, supply here is finite relative to larger master-planned towers in the area, and the studio-to-penthouse spread means the project can attract both entry-level buyers and those seeking larger, single-owner floor plans in one address.
