Ellington Properties Launches Soto Grande in Ras Al Khaimah’s Al Hamra

Dubai, UAE - September 18, 2025 - Ellington Properties, Dubai’s leading design-led real estate developer, has announced Soto Grande, its newest residential project in Al Hamra, Ras Al Khaimah. The launch marks Ellington’s first major venture into the northern emirates, reinforcing its reputation for redefining lifestyle communities through architecture, design, and thoughtfully curated living experiences.

This milestone comes as Ras Al Khaimah continues to emerge as one of the UAE’s fastest-growing real estate hubs. In the first half of 2025 alone, the emirate attracted $191 million (AED 700 million) in foreign direct investment, highlighting its appeal to both local and international investors. With the population projected to grow from 400,000 today to 650,000 by 2030, demand for new housing is expected to surge, requiring approximately 45,000 new residential units. This growth underscores the increasing need for high-quality, design-driven communities like Soto Grande.

Distinctive Architectural Design

Soto Grande will introduce a bold and distinctive architectural statement to Al Hamra. The development features two striking residential towers connected by a central bridge, drawing inspiration from the calmness of the sea and the organic flow of nature.

The central bridge is more than just a functional element, it serves as a symbol of balance, connection, and community, offering residents elevated views over the lagoon, golf course, cityscape, and the Arabian Gulf.

The project will include a mix of studios, one- to four-bedroom apartments, and penthouses, catering to a wide range of buyers and investors seeking premium living options.

A Vision Rooted in Community and Growth

Joseph Thomas, Co-Founder of Ellington Properties, emphasized the company’s vision for Soto Grande:

“With Soto Grande, we wanted to rethink what it means to live in Ras Al Khaimah at a time when the emirate is entering a new phase of growth. For us, architecture is never just about aesthetics; it is about creating a sense of place and identity that people feel proud to call home.

The bridge is symbolic of that idea as it is a bold design feature that also represents balance, connection, and belonging. Through this development, we are adding a new chapter to Al Hamra while providing residents a refined living experience rooted in design, community, and the spirit of Ras Al Khaimah.”

Curated Lifestyle Amenities

Soto Grande will deliver an elevated living experience, featuring a range of curated amenities designed to enhance daily life for residents:

• Hotel-inspired lobby and lounge with concierge services
• Private clubhouse for dining, entertainment, and social gatherings
• Wellness-focused spaces include a double-height fitness studio overlooking the pool, a yoga studio with a refreshment bar, and spa-style changing rooms with sauna and chromatherapy showers
• Outdoor recreation with landscaped play zones, lap and leisure pools, and a padel court
• Children’s facilities and dedicated play areas for families
• Art installations throughout the property, alongside Ellington’s signature hospitality fragrance integrated into public spaces

Strategic Location in Al Hamra

Positioned in Al Hamra, one of Ras Al Khaimah’s most desirable districts, Soto Grande will offer residents seamless access to beaches, marinas, golf courses, and a growing selection of retail and leisure destinations.

With its design-first philosophy, Ellington Properties is introducing a development that sets a new benchmark for luxury and lifestyle living in Ras Al Khaimah. Soto Grande is poised to become a defining landmark, symbolizing the emirate’s rapid growth and its future as a premier real estate destination in the UAE.
