The Highbury is Ellington Properties' flagship residential development in the Mohammed Bin Rashid City / Nad Al Sheba corridor — a 342-unit, 29-storey luxury tower that embodies the developer's defining philosophy: the application of hospitality-grade design thinking to residential architecture, creating buildings that residents actively aspire to live in rather than merely occupy. Featuring cascading garden terraces, a comprehensive resort-wellness amenity ecosystem, and Ellington's signature custom interior design programme, The Highbury delivers luxury living credentials — including a padel court, spa, private cinema, and infinity pool — at price points that represent exceptional value in the MBR City context.
The Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City) development corridor has emerged as one of Dubai's most desirable and rapidly appreciating residential submarkets. Positioned at the geographic heart of Dubai — equidistant from Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour, and the major southern employment districts — MBR City combines premium residential infrastructure with the rare combination of central positioning and green open space that is scarce in Dubai's densely developed core areas.
The Nad Al Sheba sub-district, where The Highbury is located, sits at the MBR City corridor's entry point from Meydan — adjacent to the celebrated Meydan Racecourse and within easy reach of the Ras Al Khor Road and Al Khail Road highways that provide the fastest routes between Dubai's eastern and western districts.
Proximity Table — The Highbury, Nad Al Sheba
| Destination | Distance | Drive Time (Est.) | |---|---|---| | Meydan Racecourse | 3 km | 6 min | | Dubai Creek Harbour | 8 km | 12 min | | Downtown Dubai / Burj Khalifa | 12 km | 15 min | | Dubai Mall | 13 km | 16 min | | DIFC | 13 km | 16 min | | Business Bay | 12 km | 15 min | | Dubai International Airport (DXB) | 14 km | 17 min | | Ras Al Khor Road (E44) | 3 km | 6 min | | Al Khail Road (E44) | 4 km | 8 min | | Deira | 16 km | 20 min | | Dubai Marina | 28 km | 30 min | | Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) | 40 km | 40 min |
The 15-minute drive to both Downtown Dubai and DXB airport from a single address is exceptional. Most Dubai residential addresses requiring 12–18 minutes to Downtown are significantly further from DXB, while DXB-proximate addresses in eastern Dubai require 25–30 minutes to Downtown. The Highbury's central Nad Al Sheba positioning uniquely captures the best of both commute vectors — a genuine dual-proximity advantage that is rare and accordingly valuable.
Ellington Properties was founded on the premise that Dubai's residential market was underserved by buildings designed with genuine architectural and interior design ambition at mid-luxury price points. Every Ellington building reflects this founding conviction: obsessive attention to proportion, material quality, spatial organisation, and the experiential quality of transition spaces (lobbies, corridors, amenity areas) that most developers treat as afterthoughts.
The Highbury's 29-storey form is defined by its stepped architectural profile — a structural decision that creates cascading garden terraces on the upper floors, introducing genuine vertical greenery at significant heights and blurring the boundary between the building's architecture and the landscaped environment below. This is not merely decorative: the terraces create private outdoor spaces of unusually generous proportion for residential apartments, extending the effective living area of upper-floor units by creating genuinely usable balcony environments at heights where conventional apartment balconies are often too exposed to be practical.
Unit Configuration Summary
| Bedroom Type | Category | Key Features | |---|---|---| | 1 Bedroom | Apartment | Custom Ellington kitchen, ensuite bath, balcony | | 2 Bedroom | Apartment | Ensuite master, open living, balcony with city views | | 3 Bedroom | Apartment | Family layout, 2+ ensuites, large balcony | | 4 Bedroom | Apartment | Premium family configuration, multiple ensuites | | 4 Bedroom | Penthouse | Ultra-luxury sky residence, expanded terrace |
Interior specifications reflect the Ellington standard — a package that consistently places this developer's buildings in a quality category above comparably-priced competitors:
The Highbury's amenity programme is calibrated to Ellington's premium positioning: extensive, resort-quality, and designed with the same design intention applied to the residential units themselves.
Amenities Overview
| Category | Facilities | |---|---| | Aquatic | Infinity-edge swimming pool, children's pool | | Wellness | Resident spa, pilates studio, yoga studio | | Fitness | State-of-the-art indoor + outdoor gym | | Sports | Padel tennis court, basketball court | | Active Leisure | Jogging track | | Entertainment | Private cinema room, games room | | Social | Resident library, BBQ areas | | Family | Kids' play areas, water park zone | | Lifestyle | Pet-friendly spaces |
The combination of a resident spa and pilates/yoga studios elevates The Highbury's wellness offering significantly above the standard pool-and-gym package. These facilities position the building not merely as a place to sleep and exercise, but as an active wellness environment — a growing priority for the international professional and family demographic that constitutes the premium end of Dubai's rental market.
The private cinema room — a rare amenity at this price tier in Nad Al Sheba — transforms the typical resident social offering from passive amenity access to curated entertainment experiences. Combined with the games room and resident library, this trifecta of entertainment and intellectual leisure spaces creates a building character that genuinely engages residents rather than simply housing them.
Mohammed Bin Rashid City represents Emaar's most ambitious and sustained post-Downtown master community investment — a long-term development vision that encompasses residential, retail, entertainment, cultural, and ecological infrastructure on a scale comparable to Downtown Dubai's original ambition. The ongoing delivery of District One lagoon residences, Sobha Hartland, Ellington's own expanding MBR City portfolio, and the planned Meydan One Mall (set to become the world's largest shopping centre when delivered) all contribute to a sustained appreciation environment for established MBR City residential assets.
The Highbury's position at the corridor's entry from Nad Al Sheba places it well to capture the appreciation benefits of MBR City's continuing development without the inflated pricing of the corridor's most-developed northern sections near the Sobha Hartland hub.
