What this is
Elemental 78 is the first project by Elemental Developments, the company of Hazza Zaal, CEO of Al Barari. Instead of a tower with hundreds of units, a building of eight floors, 45 apartments and greenery on the façade, in the courtyard and on the roof. It is finished and the show apartments are open. Of the 45 apartments, eleven remain, all two-bedroom; the one-bedroom units and the single 3 BR residence are sold. Buyers move in or rent out from transfer, with no construction period in between.
Location
Jumeirah Garden City sits behind Sheikh Zayed Road at the level of the World Trade Centre, facing old Satwa. Downtown, DIFC, City Walk and the Dubai Water Canal are three to ten minutes away, as are the Jumeirah beaches.
The district is being rebuilt right now. A long-established neighbourhood between Satwa and Sheikh Zayed Road is turning into one of the most central new-build locations in the city. Elemental 78 is among the first finished buildings of this new generation: buyers here are in before the district is complete.
Architecture and arrival
Al Barari is known in Dubai for gardens, not towers. Elemental 78 carries that into a city building: planted balconies, a garden on the ground floor, terraces on the first floor and a roof with pool, loungers and a fire pit.
Six apartments per typical floor, two lifts, a lobby with reception. No hotel brand, no concierge programme, and a service charge of AED 18 per sqft per year that fits a building this size.
The building
Ground floor, first floor and roof belong to all residents. With 45 apartments that stays manageable; the pool is rarely full.
Roof: pool, deck with loungers, cabana, lounge with fire pit and an open view towards the skyline.
Gym, outdoor yoga area, indoor and outdoor kids' play, plus terrace apartment 102 with 562 sqft of outdoor space.
Ground floor: lobby with reception, garden, access to the basement car park. Planting on the façade is part of the design.

Interiors
The images show the show apartments. With a finished building you check light, orientation, materials and street noise yourself, not from a rendering. We arrange the viewing.
Floor plans
Developer floor layouts. The plans of the eleven available units come with the exposé.
Measured against the register
The developer sells location, greenery and completion. All three are true. For the decision, four numbers from the register matter.
City Walk, five minutes away, had a median of around AED 2,750 per sqft from August 2025 to July 2026, Downtown 2,540 (DLD register). Elemental 78 costs AED 2,350 to 2,660, below City Walk and at Downtown level, as a finished new building with a rooftop pool. The district median of around AED 1,710 mostly reflects older stock. Jumeirah Garden City is being rebuilt right now; buying now means buying the district's new standard before it is complete.
Because the building stands, the yield starts at transfer, not in three years. New leases in the district recently averaged around AED 98 per sqft per year (1,883 contracts), mostly in older buildings; for a Type C that gives around 4 percent gross as the floor. In City Walk next door, tenants pay around AED 147 for new builds, which would be 6 percent. Where Elemental 78 lands in between depends on the unit: floor, orientation, terrace. That is exactly what we calculate in the exposé for each of the eleven apartments.
50 percent at booking, 50 percent two months later, plus the 4 percent DLD fee. The full price is paid before the first rent arrives, not spread over years as with off-plan. In return there is no handover risk: the building stands, the unit can be walked before purchase, and snagging and title deed are settled before signing.
Every one of the eleven apartments is above AED 2M, the threshold for the 10-year visa through property ownership. With a finished unit and title deed, the application can be filed right after transfer, not after a handover three years away. For buyers who care about residency, that is the real difference to off-plan.

A finished building can be checked. We walk the unit with you, not the brochure, and work through price, rent and running costs before you reserve.
Our approach
Elemental 78 is one of the few ready new-build projects in our portfolio. We show it when completion, location and visa match the intention, not because eleven units are left.
01
Price per sqft, service charge and achievable rent against the register, not against the price list.
02
Own use, letting or visa are three different calculations. First the intention, then the unit and the floor.
03
From viewing through reservation, title deed and snagging to letting, no portal, no call centre.
Exposé
We send you the eleven units with floor, size and price, the floor plans, and our assessment: which unit for own use, which for letting, and what the viewing has to show. Confidential, no mailing list.
