Jumeirah Islands is a tranquil lakefront community in Dubai, renowned for its lush greenery and artificial lakes. This upscale island enclave (with 736 villas on 50 islets) blends natural calm with city access. Altiera Heights by Ellington Properties introduces luxury apartments to this setting – a first for the Jumeirah Islands. Instead of a villa or townhouse, buyers now find lakefront luxury homes in Dubai at Altiera. This brand-new tower offers spacious, modern living, surrounded by stunning water views and lush landscaped gardens. From here, you reach Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Sheikh Zayed Road, and downtown in minutes.
A Tranquil Lakeside Haven in Dubai
Altiera Heights sits on one of the calm lakes of the Jumeirah Islands. The community’s waterfront setting offers an island escape in the heart of Dubai. Its 50 interlinked lakes (covering over 32 million sq.ft.) create scenic views and a calm, green environment. While many Dubai apartments vie for city views, Altiera emphasizes serenity and privacy – residents stroll by jogging tracks, botanical lakeside walkways, and shaded parks. Despite this quiet ambiance, the island is just off Sheikh Zayed Road, providing quick access to Dubai’s business and leisure hubs.
- Minutes to Dubai Marina Yacht Club and Emirates Golf Club for dining and recreation
- Easy drive to Mall of the Emirates (13 min) and Palm Jumeirah (14 min)
- Under 20 minutes to Burj Al Arab (17 min) and Downtown Dubai (Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall, 21 min)
- Immediate access to Jumeirah Islands Clubhouse and Pavilion for community events
Altiera Heights – A New Standard of Luxury Apartments
Developed by Ellington Properties, Altiera Heights is the community’s first high-rise luxury apartment project. Rising above the palms, the tower reflects Ellington’s design-led philosophy: “fluid design, thoughtful detailing” with a new standard of waterfront living. Each of the 355 residences (plus penthouses) is “meticulously designed to provide residents with a superior quality of life.” Interiors feature upscale finishes – think marble and wood accents, bespoke kitchens, and smart home technology – combined with high ceilings and open layouts. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame panoramic lake-and-skyline views. Ellington touts Altiera’s “spacious apartments, floor-to-ceiling windows, and serene surroundings” as defining features. This fusion of luxury design and lakeside charm makes Altiera Heights an attractive choice among Dubai apartments.

The apartments are designed for a refined lifestyle – from entertaining in the open-plan living areas to relaxing in the en-suite main bathroom. Altiera’s interiors truly bring Dubai luxury real estate standards into this serene island setting.
Seamless City Access
Located at the heart of the Jumeirah Islands, Altiera Heights offers unparalleled connectivity. Sheikh Zayed Road is just a short drive away, linking you across Dubai. Residents enjoy quick access to Dubai Marina and JLT (about 8 minutes), the leisure and business hotspots of Al Sufouh and Al Barsha (Mall of the Emirates, 13 minutes), and even iconic destinations like the Palm Jumeirah (14 minutes). Downtown Dubai’s towers (Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall) are reachable in roughly 20–25 minutes. All this means Altiera Heights marries the calm of an island neighborhood with the convenience of city life.
- 1 minute: Jumeirah Islands Pavilion (access to JLT and local shops)
- 8 minutes: Dubai Marina Yacht Club & Emirates Golf Club (dining and leisure)
- 13 minutes: Mall of the Emirates (shopping, cinema)
- 14 minutes: Palm Jumeirah (beaches, hotels)
- 17 minutes: Burj Al Arab (7-star hotel, beachfront dining)
- 21 minutes: Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall (global attractions)
Meanwhile, everyday amenities are nearby: supermarkets, schools, and healthcare facilities in neighboring communities ensure that daily needs are met without long drives. In short, Altiera Heights offers the best of both worlds – a peaceful lakeside home and direct links to all of Dubai.
World-Class Wellness and Leisure Amenities
Altiera Heights is designed as a resort-style community. Residents enjoy a diverse range of amenities that emphasize wellness, leisure, and social interaction. For example, the building features a natural infinity pool perched high above the lake, complete with sun loungers and a “beach” decking area. The property features a fully equipped gym and a separate yoga studio for fitness, as well as dedicated spa and massage rooms for relaxation. A stylish co-working lounge allows residents to work remotely in comfort while children have safe play zones indoors and landscaped gardens outdoors. Outdoors, landscaped BBQ terraces and even an open-air cinema setup let families and friends gather under the stars. Every detail – from 24/7 concierge services to covered parking – has been curated for a wellbeing lifestyle.
- Infinity Rooftop Pool: Panoramic lake and skyline views
- Modern Gym & Yoga: State-of-the-art fitness facilities
- Serenity Spa & Wellness: Massage and steam rooms for total relaxation
- Co-working Lounges: Dedicated work-from-home spaces
- Children’s Play Areas: Secure indoor and outdoor play zones
- Outdoor Cinema & BBQ: Entertainment spaces for movie nights and family barbecues
- Landscaped Gardens: Lush greenery and relaxation pods around the property
This comprehensive amenity package goes beyond a simple apartment listing – it creates a cohesive luxury lifestyle. As Ellington emphasizes, every element at Altiera supports a “lifestyle of ease, well-being, and connection.”
Freehold Ownership and Flexible Payment Plans
Altiera Heights is offered on a freehold basis, giving full ownership rights to both UAE nationals and expatriates. For buyers, this is a rare opportunity in the Jumeirah Islands, which was mostly villa-based. Ellington also provides attractive payment options. The standard plan is a 70/30 split – 70% payable during construction and 30% on handover. In practice, buyers can secure a unit with as little as a 20% down payment on booking, followed by small installments. This flexibility appeals to both investors and end-users. All in all, Altiera Heights combines full ownership with manageable financing, making investment in Dubai real estate more accessible.
- Freehold Property: Available to all nationalities
- Easy 70/30 Payment Plan: 20% on booking, the rest staggered over construction
- Low Entry Cost: Down payments from 20% only
- Zero Service in Advance: Pay only after moving in
These terms are more favorable than many off-the-plan listings. Buyers dealing directly with Ellington (via agents like MBR Properties) often get better rates than secondary market rates seen on general real estate portals.
Standing Out from Other Listings
When searching Jumeirah Islands real estate or Dubai luxury apartments, most results point to older villa projects or off-the-shelf listings. For example, general property sites (like APILProperties) describe the Jumeirah Islands as a “ritzy lakeside residence” with 736 villas and four architectural themes. Those portals don’t show any apartment towers because Altiera is new. In contrast, Altiera Heights offers buyers a modern lakefront apartment option that isn’t available on generic listings.
Rather than scouring multiple listings, Altiera Heights puts everything in one place: a contemporary tower, developer-direct prices, and confirmed amenities. Compared to generic Dubai apartments on the market, Altiera’s level of design and service is exceptional. Investors who learn about this project through agents like MBR Properties quickly see the advantage: it’s a turnkey luxury lifestyle in the Jumeirah Islands without the uncertainty of off-plan searches. In short, Altiera Heights fills a gap in Ellington Properties Dubai’s real estate offerings, bringing the lakeside villa feel to a vertical community.
