Berkeley Tower

Berkeley Tower is a 60-storey Grade A commercial tower by Ellington Properties, located on Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, Dubai. It is Ellington's flagship office project and one of the tallest dedicated office buildings the developer has delivered. The tower comprises 109 individually owned offices across a variety of formats, from compact single-floor units to three-level triplexes.

Berkeley Tower offers four distinct categories: units of 1,132–5,409 sq.ft on floors 1–31, offices of 2,364–12,182 sq.ft including full-floor options on floors 36–52, two-level duplex offices of 21,873 sq.ft on floors 54–55, and three-level triplex offices of 22,191 sq.ft on floors 56–58. This range means a solo operator and a 500-person corporation can both find a suitable space within the same building. In total there are 109 offices across the tower.

Berkeley Tower follows a 70/30 payment plan structured as 20% on booking, followed by four instalments of 5% each spread across the first year, then six further instalments of 5% linked to construction milestones from 20% to 70% completion. The final 30% is due on handover. This structure allows buyers to stage their capital outlay across the construction period rather than committing in full upfront.

The tower stands on Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, placing it 4 minutes by car from Downtown Dubai and DIFC — two of Dubai's primary business districts. Business Bay Metro Station is a 1-minute walk away, making it one of the most transit-accessible office addresses in the city. Dubai International Airport is approximately 15 minutes by road.

Floors 32–35 are entirely dedicated to a business club available to all office owners and tenants. Floor 32 holds a co-working lounge with acoustic focus pods, a social hub with kitchenette, and a rest and recharge room. Floor 33 features a clubhouse with a show kitchen, outdoor terraces, a games room with billiards and air hockey, and a vinyl lounge. Floor 34 houses fitness, Pilates, spinning and interactive boxing studios alongside male and female wellness zones, while floor 35 provides male and female prayer rooms with ablution areas.

Berkeley Tower's roof includes a vertiport — a dedicated landing and departure platform designed for electric air taxis, which are currently being certified for commercial use across the UAE. Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority has an active air taxi programme with operators including Joby Aviation and Archer. Occupants of the tower's upper floors will have direct rooftop access to this infrastructure once air taxi services become commercially available, offering commute times between key city destinations measured in minutes.

CBRE reported that Dubai's overall office occupancy reached 94% in Q2 2026, with city-wide rents rising 13% year on year and prime segment rents up 16% over the same period. Berkeley Tower targets this prime segment directly — Grade A space on Sheikh Zayed Road with a format range wide enough to attract a large pool of tenants and buyers. The four-floor business club increases tenant retention by giving occupiers premium shared amenities without the cost of maintaining them independently.

The tower features 12 double-deck lifts with destination control, a vista lift connecting the four amenity floors, smart access control throughout, robotic parking, valet service, a dedicated driver and delivery lounge, a drone delivery platform, and a coffee bar in the double-height lobby. These systems are designed to reduce wait times, manage access security and support the logistics demands of a fully occupied Grade A tower with over 100 individual office occupiers.
