Delivery: what the register shows
Some guides say Binghatti hands over in 18 to 24 months and that Ellington delivers on time. The register does not support either as a rule. On 27 October 2026, 12 Binghatti projects and 5 Ellington projects were past the completion date the developer filed with the DLD and not yet finished. A filed date can be revised and the DLD updates progress after inspections, so a project past its date is a question to ask the developer, not proof of a late handover; check the specific project.

Prices: what buyers paid in 2026
Binghatti sells at both ends of the market: its biggest-selling towers Binghatti Skyflame 1 (879 sales, median AED 570,000, AED 1,379 per sq ft) and Binghatti Skyterraces (838 sales, AED 1,798 per sq ft), and its branded Maybach Six (1,110 sales, AED 3,571 per sq ft). Ellington's volume is smaller and dearer per square foot on most projects: Eltiera Views (639 sales, AED 2,505 per sq ft), Windsor House II (401 sales, AED 1,543 per sq ft). Across projects with sales, the middle Binghatti project sold at AED 2,003 per sq ft and the middle Ellington project at AED 2,505.
Figures are DLD sales from January to September 2026 on projects registered to each developer's companies.

Sources: DLD project register, DLD transactions and the register's cancelled-projects list, each read on the date shown in its row. Counts are not adjusted for the size of each developer, and none of them is a rating. A developer with no 2026 registrations shows zero in those rows; that is a fact about this year, not a verdict.
What the register does not settle
The register records progress, dates, escrow and prices. It does not measure finish quality or rent premiums, and this page does not score them. If a seller tells you a building rents above the area, ask for the Ejari contracts; if they give you a handover date, compare it with the one filed with the DLD.
