Ocean House is a single building on the East Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, next to the Waldorf Astoria and Rixos. It has a private beach, terraces with plunge pools and an architecture built around the movement of water.
It comes from Ellington Properties and BSBG, the architects behind Atlantis The Royal and Dubai Opera. Handover is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, which puts the building within months of completion.
This guide covers what the project offers, the units and prices listed in September 2026, the payment plan, the location and what to request when you reserve. Prices and availability move quickly at this stage, so confirm current figures before committing.
A Building Designed Around the Sea
Most towers on the Palm are designed to look at the water. Ocean House is designed to resemble it.
The facade follows curved, flowing lines taken from the shape of waves. Glass runs from floor to ceiling, and every residence opens onto an oversized terrace, many with a private plunge pool.
The result reads as a sculpture on the shoreline rather than another residential block. On a crescent lined with hotels, that difference is visible from the water and from the road, and it gives the address its own identity.
Inside, the design keeps the same idea. Wide openings, soft transitions between rooms and terraces, and views that run through the apartment toward the sea.
Who Is Behind It
The pairing of developer and architect is one of the strongest arguments for the project. Here is what each brings:
- Ellington Properties. A Dubai developer known for design-led buildings and careful finishing. Its reputation rests on interiors and detailing rather than volume.
- BSBG. The architectural practice behind Atlantis The Royal, Dubai Opera and projects in the Address and Opera District portfolios.
- The combination. A developer focused on finish working with architects who have delivered some of the city’s best-known landmarks.
For a buyer this matters at resale, not only at handover. A building attached to recognised names keeps an identity in the market for years, and the next buyer knows what they are looking at before they visit.
Location on the East Crescent
The crescent is the outer ring of the Palm, and its eastern side is lined with resort hotels and beach clubs.
Ocean House sits beside the Waldorf Astoria and Rixos. That means a neighbourhood of five-star hospitality, restaurants and beaches rather than residential towers.
| Destination | Approximate drive |
|---|---|
| Atlantis and Atlantis The Royal | 5 minutes |
| Dubai Marina | 15 minutes |
| Downtown Dubai | 25 minutes |
| Palm Jumeirah trunk and retail | A few minutes |
The crescent is quieter than the trunk. Traffic is lighter, the setting is more private, and the view faces open sea rather than neighbouring buildings. For many buyers that combination is the reason to choose this part of the Palm.
Amenities
The facilities are built to resort standard, and they are for residents only:
- Private beach. Direct access to the sea, reserved for residents.
- Pools. An Olympic-size pool and an infinity pool facing the water.
- Wellness. Spa, hydrotherapy, hammam, yoga deck and a dedicated wellness zone.
- Fitness. A sea-view gym and a boxing studio.
- Social spaces. A floating club, cinema, library, cigar room and tea room.
- Family. A children’s play area and a salon.
- Service. Valet parking, concierge and security around the clock.
A private beach is rarer on the Palm than it sounds. Many buildings share beach access or rely on nearby hotels. Here the beach belongs to the building, and that has lasting value for both residents and tenants.
What Living Here Is Like
Daily life at Ocean House follows a resort rhythm rather than a city one.
Mornings start with the beach below the terrace and the gym facing the water. Evenings end on the terrace by the plunge pool, with the sun setting over the Gulf. Restaurants and beach clubs of the neighbouring hotels are a short walk away.
For families the building works as a self-contained environment. Children have their own play area, the pools and beach are private, and security runs around the clock. Parents do not need to leave the building for a full day of activity.
At the same time the city stays close. Dubai Marina is fifteen minutes away and Downtown about twenty-five, so work, schools and business remain within easy reach.
Units and Prices
The collection runs from two-bedroom apartments to six-bedroom residences, with penthouses and sky villas at the top of the building.
| Unit | Area, sq ft | Listed price | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom | 1,926 – 1,927 | From $3,024,096 | From about $1,570 |
| 3-bedroom | 3,630 – 3,641 | From $5,331,200 | About $1,470 |
| 4-bedroom | 8,718 | $13,420,258 | About $1,540 |
Prices are those listed on the project page in September 2026 and cover units currently on the market. Larger residences, penthouses and sky villas are priced individually.
Part of the available inventory is resale from existing buyers. That gives access to specific floors and views without waiting for a new release. It also means the price reflects the market today, not the launch price list.
Current availability, floor plans and prices for each unit are on the Ocean House project page.
Payment Plan
The plan is simple and weighted toward completion:
- 20% on booking. Secures the unit and starts the purchase.
- 50% during construction. Paid in stages as the building progresses.
- 30% on handover. Due when the keys are delivered.
With handover close, the construction stage is short. Buyers entering now pay a larger share within a shorter period than early buyers did. On resale units, the split depends on what the original buyer has already paid, so it is confirmed unit by unit.
Mortgage options are available for international buyers, and payment terms can be discussed at reservation. How staged payments work and what to negotiate is covered in the guide to getting a good off-plan deal.
