Elemental 78: One Price, One Window, and Half Up Front
Elemental 78 is a residential development by Elemental Developments, located in Jumeirah Garden City within the Al Satwa district of central Dubai. The project carries a single price point across all units and a 50% upfront payment requirement. Both facts shape the buyer profile before anything else does.
Central Dubai Without the Central Premium
Al Satwa is one of Dubai's most central districts, bounded by Sheikh Zayed Road to the west and the Jumeirah coastline to the south. DIFC, Downtown Dubai, and Business Bay are all within a short drive. Dubai International Airport is accessible without navigating the outer highway loops.
Jumeirah Garden City is a planned residential sub-district within Al Satwa. The location delivers central Dubai access at a price point below the most premium central addresses. Professionals based in DIFC or Downtown are typically 10 to 15 minutes by car from this address. The Jumeirah coastline is nearby for leisure. For daily life, the location is practical and well-connected.
AED 1.58 Million: One Configuration, One Decision
Every unit in Elemental 78 is priced at AED 1,580,000. The minimum and maximum listed prices are identical, which points to a single unit type or uniform pricing across floors and positions. There is no entry-level apartment and no top-floor premium. You are buying one product at one price.
For a buyer, that simplifies the decision. There is no lower-priced unit to hold out for, and no premium configuration to consider upgrading into. At AED 1.58 million in Al Satwa, the project positions itself in the upper mid-market range for central Dubai residential property.
What the Amenity Mix Reveals
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Leisure | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Family | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities cover core residential requirements without reaching into hotel-style extras. The indoor swimming pool is the most practical feature here. Dubai's summer heat makes outdoor pools uncomfortable for much of the year; an indoor facility is usable across all seasons.
The children's play area, landscaped gardens, and on-site dining point to a building aimed at families and long-term residents. The amenity set fits an owner-occupier building or a buy-to-let investment targeting stable, longer-term tenancies.
Two Months to Handover
Construction on Elemental 78 started on 29 September 2026, with an expected completion date of 1 December 2026. The off-plan window is approximately two months. A buyer entering today is not committing to a multi-year construction schedule.
For investors, the short path to delivery means rental income begins quickly. For owner-occupiers, the gap between purchase and occupancy is brief. The compressed timeline reduces the waiting period that typically accompanies off-plan buying.
Getting In for Half: The 50% Down Payment
| Payment Stage | Percentage | AED Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Down payment | 50% | 790,000 |
| During construction | 50% | 790,000 |
The down payment is 50% of the purchase price, or AED 790,000 on this unit. The remaining 50% is payable during construction. Given that construction started in late September 2026 and completes in December, both installments clear within the same two-month window. There is no post-handover payment schedule.
The full purchase price settles at or before handover. Both payments concentrate within a short window, which means the total capital commitment arrives quickly. The 50% down payment is a high entry threshold for an off-plan purchase.
