Chelsea Gardens: Apartments in Al Satwa from AED 1.15 Million
Chelsea Gardens is a residential apartment project by Alaia Developments in Al Satwa, one of Dubai's more centrally positioned established neighborhoods. The project offers studios through two-bedroom apartments, with construction underway since March 2025 and delivery expected in February 2027.
A Central Neighborhood on the SZR–Jumeirah Corridor
Al Satwa sits between Sheikh Zayed Road and Jumeirah, putting it within reach of Downtown Dubai, City Walk, and the Business Bay corridor. The area operates as a mixed residential and commercial district with a street-level retail scene and genuine walkability. Metro access is available nearby, and the road network connects to most of Dubai's main employment hubs without a long commute.
For an owner-occupier, the appeal is central proximity at prices that sit below the waterfront and Downtown core. For an investor, the location draws from a tenant pool spread across DIFC, Business Bay, and the Sheikh Zayed Road strip.
AED 1.15 Million to AED 2.53 Million: Three Distinct Products
The price spread reflects three meaningfully different unit categories.
Studios start at AED 1,150,888 across 430 sq ft. A compact entry price in a central location, these appeal to yield-focused investors or single occupants who prioritize access over space.
One-bedroom units cover the widest range in the project. Sizes run from 786 sq ft to 1,397 sq ft, with prices starting at AED 1,750,888. The floor area spread is large enough that it functions as a primary differentiator within the one-bedroom category: a 786 sq ft apartment and a 1,397 sq ft apartment are different products in livability and eventual resale profile.
Two-bedroom units start at AED 2,530,888 across floor areas of 1,193 to 1,256 sq ft. These suit couples or small families who want to stay in a central district without crossing into the villa and townhouse market.
Nine Amenities and a Wellness Focus
| Wellness & Fitness | Leisure & Green Space | Services |
|---|---|---|
| Yoga Room | Landscaped Gardens | Restaurants |
| Indoor Swimming Pool | Children's Play Area | Retail Facilities |
| Health Club | CCTV Security | |
| Gymnasium |
Nine amenities is a well-rounded package at this price point. A yoga room alongside a health club and full gymnasium signals a building aimed at residents who use their facilities regularly. The indoor pool is a practical asset in Dubai's summer months. On-site restaurants and retail reduce day-to-day reliance on the car, which adds real utility in a neighborhood that already supports street-level errands.
Six Months to Handover
Construction began in March 2025 and completion is expected in February 2027, roughly six months from now. The project is in a late-construction phase. Buyers entering at this stage are not taking an early speculative off-plan position; they are buying a project close to delivery with a defined timeline already in progress.
Getting In for 20%
Two payment structures are on offer.
Option 1:
| Milestone | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 20% |
| During Construction | 20% |
| Handover | 60% |
Option 2:
| Milestone | Payment |
|---|---|
| During Construction | 80% |
| Handover | 20% |
Option 1 gets buyers into the project for 20% upfront, with 20% more across the build period and the remaining 60% due at handover. The cost is back-loaded to completion, tying the bulk of the financial commitment to the delivered asset. Option 2 shifts 80% of payments into the construction phase and leaves just 20% at handover, concentrating more financial exposure earlier in the timeline.
