Soto Grande is a two tower Ellington Properties development in Al Hamra Village, Ras Al Khaimah. At 602 homes it is the largest project in the current Ellington range, split 313 units in Tower I and 289 in Tower II, running from 421 square foot studios up to 4 bedroom penthouses of around 3,280 square feet.
Al Hamra Village is the established end of the Ras Al Khaimah market rather than the speculative end. It is a built and occupied coastal community with an 18 hole championship golf course, hotels, a marina and eight entry and exit gates. That matters if you are buying to rent, because there is already a resident population and an operating amenity base rather than a promise of one.

Note the difference between the towers: Tower I holds most of the studios at 48 against 10, while Tower II carries far more two bedroom plus study units at 56 against 22. If you are buying for a family tenant, Tower II has the stock. If you are buying for yield on a small unit, Tower I does. Only three penthouses exist in the entire development.

About Al Hamra Village
Al Hamra Village is a coastal masterplan in Ras Al Khaimah built around an 18 hole championship golf course, with lagoons, a marina, hotels and a retail centre. Unlike much of the RAK coastline it is complete and occupied rather than under construction. It holds freehold title open to all nationalities. It sits south of Al Marjan Island, so it picks up the tourism growth driven by the Wynn resort without carrying island prices.
Ellington Properties has delivered across Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Village Circle, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate and Ras Al Khaimah. The house style is consistent: art led lobbies, heavy amenity decks and interiors designed in house rather than outsourced.
What the developer does not tell you
No anticipated completion date appears in this launch pack. On a 602 unit two tower scheme, ask whether the towers complete together or in phases, because that changes both your handover date and the resale competition you face on day one.
The service charge is marked anticipated, not committed.
With 602 units releasing into one community, absorption matters. Ask how many units are already sold and what the developer release strategy is before you buy for short term resale.
