About Claydon House
Claydon House is a residential tower being built in Meydan Horizon, within Bukadra, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), by Ellington Properties, the Dubai design-led developer founded in 2014. The building is designed around one to four-bedroom apartments with sweeping views of the Downtown Dubai skyline and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, plus direct access to a tranquil lagoon. One independent portal describes the building as a 38-storey tower with five podium levels of retail and common areas, a figure not independently confirmed on the developer’s own pages. Handover is currently targeted for the second quarter of 2027.

Location & Nearby Landmarks
Per one independent portal, Burj Khalifa is roughly 13 minutes away by car, Dubai International Airport (DXB) about 20 minutes, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) about 14 minutes, Dubai Marina about 20 minutes, Palm Jumeirah about 17 minutes, and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary itself about 11 minutes. These specific drive-time figures are single-sourced and offered as general orientation rather than a firm claim.

Unit Types
Claydon House offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, per three independent sources. Detailed per-configuration size figures were not published on any of the pages checked for this guide, so no specific square-footage range is quoted here.
Amenities
Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a yoga studio, a rooftop lap pool, a communal lounge with outdoor seating areas, a dedicated children's play area, and landscaped gardens. The building's five podium levels are described by one independent portal as housing a mix of retail facilities and common areas, broadly consistent with the developer's own description of ground-level retail and amenity space.
Payment Plan
The developer's own published schedule is a staged milestone plan: 20% at booking, 10% at 60 days, 10% at 120 days, 5% at 240 days, 5% at 360 days, four further 5% tranches tied to construction progress (at 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction completion), and a final 30% on completion. An independent portal separately summarizes this as a simpler 70% during construction, 30% on completion structure, which is arithmetically consistent with the developer's detailed table rather than a conflicting figure.
Rental & Price Trends
Starting-price figures for Claydon House vary meaningfully between sources checked for this guide (from roughly AED 1.56 million per one independent portal to roughly AED 2.5 million per another, the latter also showing the project as currently sold out) — likely reflecting different pricing snapshots over the project's sales history rather than a straightforward conflict, since sales are recorded as having started in May 2024. Given this spread, no single starting price is quoted as a headline figure here.
As an off-plan project with no delivered units, no independent rental-trend data exists yet for Claydon House specifically. For a wider area-level comparison, 1-bedroom apartments in the wider Meydan/MBR City market have been running roughly AED 80,000 to 110,000 a year, per rental data already used across Royale Stays' live Meydan building guides.
STR Income Potential
Claydon House is still under construction, targeted for handover in the second quarter of 2027. There are no delivered units, no current residents and no existing Airbnb or holiday-home listings to point to yet, so this section is deliberately written in prospective terms rather than as a current income claim.
Once handover completes, Claydon House will be a standard Dubai freehold apartment building, the kind of property Royale Stays already manages elsewhere across Dubai. Ellington Properties is a private developer with no hotel-brand affiliation and no confirmed short-term-letting restriction, so a DTCM holiday-home permit should be obtainable in the ordinary way once units are handed over and owners look to let. Owners planning ahead of handover can reach Royale Stays for setup, furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communications and maintenance, managed for a fee from 15%.
