DT1 is a completed development by Ellington Properties, located in the heart of Downtown Dubai. As a ready property, it offers immediate rental income potential — a significant advantage for investors who prioritise cash flow over speculative capital gains.
Ellington Properties has built a reputation for ambitious project scoping and competitive pricing, and DT1 reflects that positioning. The broader Downtown Dubai corridor carries an investment score of 65/100, suggesting measured upside for buyers who enter at the right price.
DT1 offers Studios, 1BRs, 2BRs across a range of configurations. Entry prices start from AED 1.0M, positioning this squarely in the accessible investment bracket — attractive for first-time buyers and portfolio builders looking to maximise unit count per dirham.
Studio units range from 400 to 500 sqft. Larger 2BR configurations extend to 1,450 sqft, catering to families and end-users who value space without the premium of villa living. For the most current unit availability and floor plans, we recommend running a full analysis through the investment simulator.
At 5.2% gross yield (approximately 3.8% net after service charges and vacancy), DT1 offers yields that are competitive within its price segment and location bracket. Ready properties eliminate construction risk entirely and allow investors to begin earning rental income from day one.
The investment thesis here isn't just about yield — it's about the convergence of Downtown Dubai's infrastructure maturation, population growth trajectory, and Ellington Properties's brand equity in the secondary market. Properties from established developers tend to command 5-15% premiums on resale compared to lesser-known names, which matters when you're modelling exit scenarios.
DT1 sits within Downtown Dubai, a community that has seen consistent infrastructure development over the past three years. Road connectivity to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road keeps commute times manageable, while retail and dining options within the immediate vicinity reduce the "under construction" feel that plagues some newer corridors.
On-site amenities including swimming pool and fitness centre add lifestyle value that supports tenant retention. For families, nearby schools and healthcare facilities are within comfortable driving distance — details you can explore on the Downtown Dubai investment guide.
DT1 starts from AED 1,040,000. The project is located in Downtown Dubai by Ellington Properties. Units are ready for immediate occupancy.
