Ocean House, Palm Jumeirah
Ocean House is a super-luxury residential tower under construction on The Palm Crescent, Palm Jumeirah, developed by Ellington Properties Development through its joint-venture subsidiary Northacre Ellington Development. The project holds 88 designer units; Ellington's own site describes the structure as 9 storeys, while independent portal Propsearch records it as 10 storeys plus one basement level. Construction began in June 2023, and Dubai Land Department transaction records show active off-plan sales continuing into mid-2026, though no public handover date has been confirmed. Royale Stays manages Palm Jumeirah short-term rentals for owners from a fee starting from 15%, and expects to extend that service to Ocean House once units begin transferring.

About Ocean House
Ocean House is an ultra-luxury residential tower under development on The Palm Crescent, Palm Jumeirah, developed by Ellington Properties Development through its joint-venture subsidiary Northacre Ellington Development. The project holds 88 designer units. Ellington's own marketing page describes the building as a 9-storey complex, while independent portal Propsearch records it as 10 storeys plus one basement level used for parking; the two sources differ by a single floor, most likely a basement-counting convention difference, and neither figure is presented here as the sole fact.
Construction began in June 2023. Dubai Land Department transaction records show ongoing off-plan sales activity as recently as July 2026, roughly three years into construction, with no public handover date confirmed by either the developer or independent trackers at the time of writing.
Ocean House's developer group also includes SOL Properties Development L.L.C. (Bhatia Group, established 1975), confirmed via press coverage and a matching press clip found on Ocean House's own Propsearch listing ("Ellington, Sol launches 'Ocean House' on The Palm; experiences record demand," 11 Jul 2023). This SOL Properties Development L.L.C. is a separate, unrelated legal entity from "Sol Beach Real Estate Development L.L.C.," the developer of the different Palm Jumeirah project "Sol Beach," despite the near-identical "Sol" brand fragment.
Two unrelated same- or similar-name entities exist elsewhere: "Ocean House" in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, USA is a well-known historic seaside resort hotel with no connection to this Dubai project, and "Ocean Heights" in Dubai Marina is a separate, already-completed building on a different part of Dubai, developed by a different company. Neither is related to this Ocean House.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
The Palm Crescent is the outer breakwater arc of Palm Jumeirah, curving around the island's Trunk and home to many of the island's five-star hotel addresses and high-end residential towers. Ellington's own site highlights proximity to Nakheel Mall (cinema, kids' room, food hall), The Pointe (a waterfront mall with around 80 restaurants and a large dancing fountain), and the Boardwalk, Palm Jumeirah's seaside promenade.
The developer describes Dubai International Airport (DXB) as roughly a 25 to 30-minute drive via Sheikh Zayed Road; treat this as an approximate, developer-stated figure rather than an independently verified drive time. For the full picture of the island, from the Trunk to the Fronds and both Crescents, see Royale Stays' Palm Jumeirah area guide. Owners comparing other Palm Crescent buildings can also look at One Crescent and Ellington Beach House, another Ellington Properties development on Palm Jumeirah.
Unit Types & Design
Ocean House features 2 to 6-bedroom apartments, as well as duplexes and penthouses, all designed for views of the Arabian Gulf, the Marina skyline, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah itself. Every penthouse and duplex, along with the presidential suite, includes a private swimming pool and a private garden balcony.
The presidential suite is described by the developer as its own class of residence, with five balconies, a breakfast area, an interactive room, a formal dining area, a formal living area, a steam room, a spa, a sauna, an office and a TV room. Penthouses include five terraces, a private lobby, an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor dining room and a study area.
Unit-type and interior detail in this section is sourced to Ellington Properties' own marketing page for the project; no independent source with the same level of interior detail was found.
Amenities
Ocean House's amenities are resort-scaled: an Olympic swimming pool, a wellness spa featuring an aromatherapy shower experience, a salt cave and hydrotherapy path walks, a design-led show kitchen for private functions, a club lounge with a cinema room and a cigar terrace, a fitness studio, a yoga deck, a games room, a kids' play area and kids' pool, a steam room, sun loungers areas, a drop-off area, a lobby and reception.
Independent portal Propsearch separately lists a closely overlapping amenity set, additionally noting a rooftop garden, a library, a meeting room, a co-working space, a plunge pool, pool cabanas and visitor parking, cross-confirming the bulk of the developer's own list.
Construction Status & Handover
Ocean House is still under development as of this guide's research date. Construction began in June 2023. The architectural consultant is Northacre together with LACASA Architects & Engineering Consultants, and foundation work was carried out by TMF Euro Foundations. Per Dubai Land Department records, the project's pre-construction value estimate submitted by the developer was AED 280,000,000 (approximately USD 76.2m); the source itself notes this is a pre-construction estimate and the final cost may differ.
Dubai Land Department transaction records show 50 recorded sale transactions for the building, including a 2-bedroom flat (1,636 sq ft) that sold as a pre-registration sale for AED 9.63m on 22 July 2026 (AED 5.89k per sq ft) and a 3-bedroom flat (3,237 sq ft) that sold as a pre-registration sale for AED 19.21m on 20 July 2026 (AED 5.94k per sq ft). Neither source reviewed for this guide publishes a handover quarter or year, so no completion date is stated here. As with any active off-plan project, the date written into a buyer's own Sales and Purchase Agreement should be treated as authoritative over any portal or brochure estimate.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Because Ocean House has not yet been handed over, there is no existing short-term rental track record, occupancy figure or Royale Stays-managed listing to point to for this specific building today.
Once units begin transferring, owners in a freehold, non-hotel-branded building like this one can expect to follow the standard DTCM holiday home permit route. Royale Stays' Dubai Property ROI Calculator can help owners model potential returns ahead of handover.
Royale Stays offers full Airbnb and holiday home management, furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance, for a fee starting from 15%, and owners can submit a property for a free earnings estimate ahead of handover.
No Royale Stays-managed unit or Airbnb listing currently exists at Ocean House; every figure in this section is planning context only until the building is complete and units are handed over.
