Inside Berkeley Tower: Why Ellington Built Only 109 Offices?

Ellington built its name on design-led homes. Now it is building its biggest office tower yet: Berkeley Tower, a 60-storey Grade A tower in Business Bay with only 109 offices, priced at AED 4,300–5,000 per sq ft at EOI. We went to Ellington's office and asked what investors actually need to know before committing. Here is what the developer told us, and what still needs checking. This is not a sales pitch or a developer marketing piece. It is a direct conversation with the team behind the project, with questions on pricing, technology, buyer profile and delivery risk, built for investors who need clarity, not content. ───────────────────────────────── WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS → Why Ellington is moving from residential into Business Bay offices → Why only 109 units across 60 floors, when peer towers launch 370+ → The air-taxi vertiport, drone delivery and robotic parking: ready or future-facing? → How the AED 4,300–5,000 per sq ft pricing compares with Lumena and Enara → The 30% on-handover payment and what it means for buyers committing today ───────────────────────────────── TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Why Ellington is building in Business Bay 1:45 Why Business Bay, not DIFC or Downtown 3:30 The 109-unit decision explained 6:00 Air-taxi, drone and robotic parking: what's actually ready 9:30 Pricing vs peers: value entry or market price? 12:00 Who is the buyer: occupier or investor? 14:00 The 30% handover payment 16:30 Rental yield expectations for 2030 ───────────────────────────────── DATA SOURCES USED IN THIS VIDEO → Ellington Properties: Business Bay Commercial Tower briefing (Oct 2026) → Cushman & Wakefield: Dubai Office Market Q2 2026 → Savills Research: Business Bay rental benchmarks Q2 2026 → REIDIN / Property Monitor: Business Bay 2026 transactions Pricing, unit counts and features are as stated by the developer at EOI stage.
