Why is Ellington building a Grade A office tower in Business Bay?
Dubai needs more high-quality offices, and Business Bay is where buyers are looking. In the first half of 2026, Dubai recorded about 2,600 office sales, up 38.2% from the year before. The total value of office sales jumped 199.3% to AED 15.8 billion.
Business Bay led the city with 814 office sales, more than any other area. Office rents rose 14.1% and office sale prices rose 15.1% year on year. Off-plan office sales grew 506.2%.

Ellington Properties is best known for design-led homes. Its first office project was Eaton Square in MBR City. Berkeley Tower is a much bigger step: a 60-floor commercial landmark in one of Dubai's busiest business districts.

Who should buy an office in Ellington Berkeley Tower?
Berkeley Tower suits business owners who want their own office and investors who want Grade A space in a supply-tight area.
-
Business owners: Buy a single office, half floor or full floor and stop paying rising rent. You get a freehold, Metro-linked address on Sheikh Zayed Road.
-
Investors: Grade A offices in Business Bay are in short supply, and rents rose 14.1% in a year. With only 109 units, the tower is low-density and easier to keep in demand.
-
Large companies: The full floors, duplex and triplex offer headquarters space with private terraces and strong branding.
