Art Bay

Art Bay is a residential development in Al Jaddaf, Dubai, by Ellington Properties. The developer presents it as the first residential project in Al Jaddaf from its partnership with Dutco, marketed under the Dutco Ellington brand. Ellington's plans show two buildings, East and West, set along the Dubai Culture Village Promenade on Dubai Creek, and the developer describes a facade of cube-like shapes inspired by the nearby Jameel Arts Centre. Ellington lists driving times of about 1 minute to Al Jaddaf Waterfront Park, 2 minutes to Jameel Arts Centre, 4 minutes to Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, 6 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 16 minutes to Dubai International Financial Centre. The developer's floor plans cover studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts in both buildings, with total living areas from about 430 sq ft to 2,148 sq ft including balconies, and every plan includes a balcony. Ellington describes porcelain-tiled living areas that open onto balconies, bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and generous wardrobes, and bathrooms with quartz stone countertops, bespoke mirrors and medicine cabinets. The developer also lists home automation that lets residents control lighting, climate and security from their smartphones, along with energy-efficient appliances. Ellington's amenity plans place the main residents' facilities on the second floor of each building: a leisure and lounge pool with a Baja shelf, a children's pool, sun-lounger and barbecue decks, a fitness studio, a hot yoga studio, male and female wellness areas, a culture lounge, a theatre and a youth hub. The West building's plan adds cabanas, an outdoor shower, an outdoor fitness area, an outdoor kids' play area and a courtyard. The developer describes changing rooms with steam and sauna facilities, a kids' club with indoor and outdoor play areas, and a theatre with a concealed cinema screen. Each building's plans also show a rooftop Arts Club with a bar, a workshop corner, sunken seating, an arts and performances stage and an outdoor lounge and viewing deck, which Ellington says will be open to residents and local artists. Ellington also lists 24/7 security and parking facilities. Ellington Properties lists Art Bay as off-plan and publishes regular construction updates for the project.
