Overview

Two Ellington towers linked by a bridge in Al Hamra, Ras Al Khaimah: 602 homes from studios at AED 1 million to four-bedroom penthouses, with completion listed for December 2029.

Soto Grande is a residential development by Ellington Properties in Al Hamra Village, Ras Al Khaimah's established golf and marina community. Ellington unveiled it in September 2025: two towers joined by a bridge, with 602 homes from studios to four-bedroom penthouses. The developer says the bridge gives residents views across the lagoon, golf course and sea.

On 13 November 2026 Property Finder listed studios of 443 sq ft from AED 1 million, one-bedrooms of 773 to 837 sq ft from AED 1.9 million and two-bedrooms of 1,127 sq ft from AED 2.8 million. Three-bedroom layouts of 1,276 to 2,078 sq ft were priced on request, and four-bedroom penthouses of 3,107 to 3,242 sq ft started at AED 9 million.

The listed plan is 20% at launch, 50% across eight instalments during construction and 30% on handover. Property Finder records construction from September 2025 and gives completion in December 2029.

Ellington's amenity list covers a lap pool, a leisure pool and kids' pool, a clubhouse with private dining, a double-height fitness studio, a yoga and Pilates studio, padel and badminton courts, an outdoor gym and children's play areas. The lobby is designed as a hotel-style lounge with concierge service.

The location is a practical one. Ellington gives about 2 minutes to Al Hamra Waterfront, 6 to RAK Central, 7 to Al Hamra Mall and 10 to the Wynn resort on Al Marjan Island, with Dubai International Airport about an hour away. Al Hamra is already built and lived in, which lowers the risk of buying into an unfinished district.

Soto Grande suits buyers who want a lower entry point into Ras Al Khaimah's coast than the Al Marjan Island launches, with views towards the sea and golf course. Weigh the long wait to completion, the smaller and less liquid Ras Al Khaimah market, and the number of new apartments around Al Hamra and Al Marjan competing for the same tenants.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Ras Al Khaimah the registration authority is the RAK Municipality.

Registration fee (2%, indicative)Ras Al Khaimah's buyer registration fee is most often quoted at 2%, but published sources disagree and master developers can apply their own registration charges. Confirm the figure for the specific project before budgeting.AED 20,000

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Registration fees in Ras Al Khaimah are quoted inconsistently by official and market sources, so treat this as indicative. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
