Berkeley Tower fact sheet
Source: Ellington Properties, Berkeley Tower brochure and payment plan (October 2026), and the developer’s office size schedule. All figures are indicative until confirmed in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.
Berkeley Tower floor plans: office sizes by level
The tower has three office zones. Lower floors are split into smaller offices, upper floors into larger suites or single-tenant full floors, and the top two office levels form one duplex. Each row is one way a floor can be divided.
| Zone | Levels | Office size (sq ft) | Offices per floor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower floors | 1–31 | 1,132 – 1,389 | Up to 8 |
| Lower floors | 1–31 | 2,502 – 2,867 | Up to 4 |
| Lower floors | 1–31 | 2,503 – 5,376 | Up to 3 |
| Lower floors | 1–31 | 5,401 – 5,409 | Up to 2 |
| Upper floors | 36–52 | 2,384 – 3,264 | Up to 4 |
| Upper floors | 36–52 | 2,364 – 6,522 | Up to 3 |
| Upper floors | 36–52 | 5,620 – 5,888 | Up to 2 |
| Full floor | 36–52 | 12,182 – 12,507 | 1 (single tenant) |
| دوبلکس | 54–55 | 21,873 | 1 (single tenant over two levels) |
Ceiling heights are 3.8 to 4.1 m across the office floors. The size schedule does not cover levels 32–35 or 53, and the brochure does not say what those levels hold, so ask before you choose a floor. Areas vary slightly by floor and are final only in the SPA. Ask us for the floor-plan PDF of any layout.
Berkeley Tower payment plan: 70/30
Instalment schedule
| # | When | Share | Paid so far |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | At booking | 20% | 20% |
| 2 | 90 days after reservation | 5% | 25% |
| 3 | 180 days after reservation | 5% | 30% |
| 4 | 240 days after reservation | 5% | 35% |
| 5 | 360 days after reservation | 5% | 40% |

What the plan means for your cash
- 40% in the first year. The booking payment and the four time-based instalments all fall within 360 days of reservation.
- 30% tied to construction. The next six payments are due only when the build reaches each milestone, so they move with the real pace of work.
- 30% on completion. Expected in 2031, not yet confirmed.
- On top of the price: the 4% DLD registration fee plus admin fees, and 5% VAT on commercial property. Ask Ellington whether VAT is collected with each instalment or upfront.

Location: Sheikh Zayed Road, beside Business Bay Metro
Where it sits
- On the Business Bay side of Sheikh Zayed Road, next to Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line
- Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa lie across the station; DIFC is further along Sheikh Zayed Road
- Business Bay is a freehold district, open to buyers of any nationality
Ellington’s brochure does not publish drive times, so we do not quote any.
Why the address matters for an office
- A metro station at the door helps staff who commute by public transport, and it is one of the first things tenants ask about.
- A Sheikh Zayed Road frontage is a well-known business address, which supports letting and resale.
- Companies that cannot find space in DIFC often look at Business Bay and Sheikh Zayed Road next.

Design: a facade inspired by fabric
Ellington describes the tower as shaped like fabric that has been gathered, pleated and drawn into form, so the facade reads as movement rather than a flat glass box. Landscaped terraces are set into the facade at intervals up the building, bringing light, planting and outdoor space into the working floors.
Arrival is through a landscaped drop-off into a 4,015 sq ft double-height lobby finished in large-format polished porcelain and warm timber. A textured-glass backdrop with concealed lighting frames a sculptural reception desk, and feature shelving, a communal table and lounge seating make the lobby usable for informal meetings.

Dubai office market in 2026
Grade-A office space in Dubai has been short since 2023, with relocating companies taking up most new prime supply. Savills’ flat Q2 2026 reading suggests rent growth is slowing. Berkeley Tower is not expected to complete until 2031, so the question for an investor is how much competing Grade-A space Business Bay, Downtown and DIFC add before then. The weekly Dubai real estate market report tracks the latest figures.

Who is Berkeley Tower for?
A good match if you…
- Want a small office (from 1,132 sq ft) with a metro-side Sheikh Zayed Road address
- Run a company that will need its own Dubai headquarters, up to a full floor or duplex, from around 2031
- Prefer later payments tied to construction progress rather than fixed dates
- Value staff amenities such as studios and co-working space for recruiting and retention
Think twice if you…
- Need rental income before 2031: ready Business Bay offices may suit you better
- Want to pay most of the price at handover: 70% is due before completion
- Need a firm price, service charge or handover date today: none has been published yet
- Want a home: the tower is offices only
How to buy at Berkeley Tower safely
- Check the DLD project registration in the Dubai REST app, and confirm the developer named on the register is the Ellington company on your SPA.
- Pay only into the project escrow account. Never pay into a personal or broker account, and check that the escrow details on your SPA match the project’s registered escrow.
- Read the SPA for the completion date, the grace period, delay remedies and the exact office area, since the 2031 date is not yet confirmed.
- Register the Oqood (off-plan title) and budget for the 4% DLD fee plus admin fees, and 5% VAT on the office price.
- Ask for the service charge estimate and parking allocation in writing before you reserve.
- Confirm resale rules: many developers require a share of the price to be paid before you can resell an off-plan unit.
