About Wellington Developments

Wellington Developments is a Dubai-based development company that split from ANK Developers and is now one of the most recognizable players in the premium villa and luxury properties’ segment. The company's history started in 2006 when the ANK Developers group, associated with the brokerage company Al Burooj Real Estate, was established in Dubai. In the 2010s, the developer shifted to building private villas in gated communities, and since 2016, it has been creating mostly niche projects with low building density. In 2024, the company was rebranded, and ANK Developers became Wellington Developments. Now the brand continues to operate in the market of properties in Dubai under this name.

According to industry sources, the owner and key figure behind ANK Developers is an entrepreneur Shahbaz Khan, who has been implementing joint projects with Al Burooj Real Estate for many years. Thanks to this, Wellington Developments is not a «start-up from scratch», but a company with almost 20 years of development experience in the UAE. The developer notes that over the years, more than 140 projects have been implemented under the ANK Developers and Wellington Developments brands, and now the team of engineers and designers is responsible for the entire cycle, from concept and planning to finishing and landscaping of residences.

Wellington Developments' philosophy is based on a few principles. These include working only in certain locations, maintaining a balance between price and quality, and ensuring maximum transparency in interactions with property buyers and partners. In the description on its website, the developer notes the company's core values are honesty, openness, and ethical business practices. The main emphasis here is that projects should not only be an investment opportunity, but also provide a comfortable living environment. Hence the company's typical range of property types is primarily low-rise and mid-rise residential complexes, villas, and townhouses with excellent privacy, gardens, terraces, and rich infrastructure that allows residents to solve many problems without leaving the community.

Over the years, the developer has earned an excellent reputation in the segment of private villas. Wellington Development has implemented a large number of landmark projects in the prestigious areas such as Pearl Jumeirah, Fairways in Dubai Hills Estate, and Jumeirah Golf Estates. It’s here that the company has become known as a «quiet builder» of private residences, characterized by a small number of properties, large plots of land, sea or golf course views, and an individual approach to layouts. Such villas always attract wealthy buyers for whom property in Dubai is, first and foremost, a status symbol and a lifestyle, and only then a financial instrument.

Among the most famous and expensive projects completed by Wellington Developments is Fairways 156 at Dubai Hills Estate, which is a ready-built 7-bedroom villa costing AED 65,000,000 ($17,699,000). This is one of the most striking examples of the developer's work in the upper price segment, offering maximum privacy, a private pool, direct access to a golf course, and proximity to the city center. Similar projects are the Wellington Grand Villas and Wellington Villas at MBR City, where prices start at AED 18,500,000 ($5,037,400).

The next step for the company was developing another seaside project, Ocean Walk, also at Dubai Islands. This is a larger complex featuring 1-3-bedroom apartments and duplexes, as well as panoramic glazing, open floor plans, scenic terraces, and a range of resort-style amenities. They include an infinity pool, a spa area, a co-working space, and direct access to the beaches. Judging by Property Finder, the starting price for a 1-bedroom apartment here is around AED 1,700,000 ($462,900), while 2-bedroom options start at AED 2,200,000 ($599,000) and 3-bedroom duplexes — at AED 4,900,000 ($1,334,200). This project is one of the most promising options for those wishing to buy properties by Wellington Developments with the possibility of capital appreciation in the new coastal cluster.
