How this is measured
Buyers paid a median of AED 1,371/sqft in this project (off-plan sales, since 1 Jan 2026, 11 registered sales) against the DLD median of AED 1,591/sqft for apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle, as of 21 Sep 2026. DLD registers every sale in Dubai, and names the project on each. Both figures are sales of homes that were not built yet: this project's against its area's. Asking from AED 1,760/sqft (est.).

Where the figures come from, and what escrow means
We do not yet hold a DLD project registration number for The Portman. An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) on dubailand.gov.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit. How to read the DLD register.

What is the price per sqft at The Portman?

When is the The Portman handover date?

What is the The Portman payment plan?
The Portman is offered on a 20/50/30 plan: 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover. Developers change plans between phases, so confirm yours before signing.
Is The Portman priced above or below what buyers paid nearby?
Buyers paid a median of AED 1,371 per sqft in The Portman (off-plan sales, since 1 Jan 2026, 11 registered sales), which is 14% below the median of AED 1,591 per sqft that buyers actually paid for apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle, across 2,471 sales registered with DLD. A gap is not a verdict: floor, view and finish all move a price.
What is the Rendr Score of The Portman?
The Portman scores 70 of 100 on the Rendr Score, good, as of 21 Sep 2026. The score weighs seven factors: the price against what buyers paid in Jumeirah Village Circle according to DLD, the developer's record, the payment plan, location, resale, construction progress and the paperwork on file; 5 of the 7 are assessed here, 85% of the weight. Our opinion, not investment advice; every input is on this page.
Who is the developer of The Portman?
The Portman is being developed by Ellington Properties. It sits in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai. You can see every project by Ellington Properties we list, and how their asking prices compare with registered sales, on their page.
Can foreigners buy at The Portman?
The Portman is in a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home here outright rather than on a lease. Dubai sets which zones are freehold; confirm the title type on your own unit's contract before paying.
Is The Portman registered with DLD?
We do not yet hold a project registration number for The Portman. Every off-plan project must be registered and sell through an escrow account, where the money is released as building progresses. Check both at dubailand.gov.ae before you pay.
