On small screens the table shows amounts including VAT only. *Assumption: you reserve on 1 November 2026; day counts run from the reservation date. Construction instalments fall due when each stage is certified, not on fixed dates, so they show “On milestone” unless you tick the indicative-months box, in which case the months are our assumption only. Amounts are rounded to the nearest dirham. DLD admin and registration fees are not included.

How Ellington releases Berkeley Tower prices
Ellington’s brochure covers the building, the 109 offices and their sizes, and the payment-plan sheet sets out the 70/30 split. Neither gives a price. The price list is released at launch, unit by unit, and availability changes as offices are booked.
Expect the rate per sq ft to differ across the tower. A 1,132 sq ft single office on a lower floor, an upper-floor suite with views towards the sea and Palm Jumeirah, and the 21,873 sq ft duplex on levels 54–55 are different products, and we would not assume one rate for all of them. That is why the calculator asks for your own price per sq ft rather than filling one in.
TruHauz is a RERA-registered brokerage. We can send you the price list when it is issued, check which units are still free and arrange a meeting with Ellington’s sales team, at no cost to you. When you have a quote, check three things: the exact office area in the Sales and Purchase Agreement, whether the price is before or after VAT, and the anticipated completion date. For layouts by floor, see the Berkeley Tower floor plans and sizes on our project brief, or the Berkeley Tower listing.
The Berkeley Tower 70/30 plan, explained
The plan has three phases. Here is what each costs for every AED 1 million of office price, with 5% VAT on each instalment and the 4% DLD fee at booking.
First year: 40%
20% at booking, then 5% at 90, 180, 240 and 360 days after reservation. These are fixed dates.
Per AED 1M: about ٢٥٠٬٠٠٠ درهم إماراتي at booking (AED 200,000 instalment, AED 10,000 VAT, AED 40,000 DLD fee), then four payments of AED 52,500. First-year total: AED 460,000.
Construction: 30%
Six payments of 5%, each due when construction reaches 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% complete. The dates depend on progress on site.
Per AED 1M: six payments of AED 52,500, AED 315,000 in total. By the 70% milestone you have paid AED 775,000 including VAT and DLD.
Completion: 30%
The final 30% on completion, expected in 2031 but not yet confirmed by Ellington.
Per AED 1M: AED 315,000 (AED 300,000 plus AED 15,000 VAT). Total over the plan: AED 1,090,000 before DLD admin and registration fees.
The first-year payments run on the calendar; the construction payments run on progress. If building moves quickly, milestone payments arrive sooner and closer together. If it slows, there can be long gaps between them. Plan your cash for both cases.

Berkeley Tower price and payment plan: FAQ
What is the price of offices in Berkeley Tower?
Ellington Properties has not published prices for Berkeley Tower. The brochure and payment-plan sheet give sizes and the payment structure only, and the price list is released at launch. Message TruHauz on WhatsApp to receive it when it is issued, then enter the price per sq ft in the calculator on this page.
What is the Berkeley Tower payment plan?
It is a 70/30 plan: 20% at booking; 5% at 90, 180, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date; 5% on completion of each of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% of construction; and 30% on completion. The 4% DLD fee and 5% VAT are extra.
How much do I need to pay in the first year?
40% of the price: the 20% booking payment plus four 5% instalments due within 360 days. With 5% VAT on those instalments and the 4% DLD fee, that is about AED 460,000 for every AED 1 million of price, before DLD admin and registration fees.
When are the construction-linked instalments due?
Each is due when the project reaches a construction stage (20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% complete), not on a fixed date. The calendar month depends on how fast the tower is built. The calculator can show indicative months, but those are our assumption, not Ellington’s schedule.
When is the final 30% payment due?
On completion. Completion is expected in 2031, but Ellington has not confirmed a date in the brochure. Check the anticipated completion date, the grace period and the delay terms in your Sales and Purchase Agreement before you sign.
Is VAT charged on Berkeley Tower offices?
Yes. Commercial property in Dubai carries 5% VAT, and Ellington lists VAT as extra to the price. The calculator adds 5% to every instalment, which is the usual way it is collected on off-plan offices; confirm the exact collection terms in your SPA. Companies registered for VAT should ask a tax adviser whether they can recover it.
What is the service charge at Berkeley Tower?
Ellington has not published a service charge for Berkeley Tower. The final rate is set closer to handover and approved by RERA. If you want to model it, enter your own assumed rate per sq ft in the calculator; the result is clearly labelled as your assumption.
How does the Berkeley Tower plan compare with Rockefeller Tower?
Rockefeller Tower by LMD uses a 50/50 plan with 20% paid in the first year and 50% on handover. Berkeley Tower asks for 40% in the first year and 70% before completion, leaving 30% on completion. Berkeley needs more cash early; Rockefeller leaves a bigger final payment.
Which office sizes can I calculate?
All nine size bands from the floor plans: lower-floor offices on levels 1 to 31 from 1,132 sq ft to 5,409 sq ft, upper-floor offices on levels 36 to 52 from 2,364 sq ft to 6,522 sq ft, full floors of 12,182 to 12,507 sq ft and the 21,873 sq ft duplex on levels 54 and 55.
ما مدى دقة هذه الآلة الحاسبة؟
The percentages come from Ellington’s payment-plan sheet, and the 4% DLD fee and 5% VAT are standard rates. The price per sq ft, rent, service charge, reservation month and any milestone dates are your inputs or our stated assumptions. Only the signed Sales and Purchase Agreement is binding.
