Elemental 22

Elemental 22 is a single residential tower by Elemental Developments, situated in Al Satwa and scheduled for completion in June 2028. The project comprises 17 residences across a ground floor, a three-level podium, and seven residential storeys, with a rooftop level positioned above the living floors.

# The tower and its position in Al Satwa

Al Satwa occupies a particular position in Dubai's urban fabric: older, denser, and more textured than the master-planned precincts that surround it, yet within close range of Sheikh Zayed Road and the broader Jumeirah corridor. Elemental Developments has chosen this neighbourhood at a point of transition, as Jumeirah Garden City's long-anticipated redevelopment gradually reshapes the district's northern edge.

The building's exterior uses aluminium cladding treated to a titanium finish, broken up by timber detailing and vertical landscaping along the façade. The effect is a material palette that reads differently in direct sun than in shade, which matters in a market where too many residential towers default to plain glass curtain walls. At 17 units across seven residential floors, the scale is deliberately restrained.

# Residences: sizes, layouts and specification

Apartments at Elemental 22 range from 636 sq ft to 1,428 sq ft, with pricing from AED 1,789,000 to AED 3,863,000. That spread suggests a mix of one- and two-bedroom configurations, though the exact unit breakdown is not publicly confirmed at the time of writing.

Internally, the specification leans on travertine finishes throughout, a material that has migrated from high-end hospitality into residential projects partly because it ages well and partly because it photographs well. Open terraces are a consistent feature, extending the usable floor area into the outdoors. Natural light is prioritised through the layout, with the open-terrace format reinforcing the connection between interior and exterior.

Seventeen units across a single building means residents are not competing for lifts or amenities with hundreds of neighbours. That arithmetic is worth keeping in mind for buyers who have found larger towers impersonal.

# Amenities and shared facilities

# Rooftop and ground-level programming

The rooftop houses a pool with city views across Al Satwa and towards the wider skyline. Below, the podium levels contain a fitness centre, a Pilates studio, and a recovery lounge with sauna and steam room. For residents who work flexibly, The Greenhouse functions as a coworking space within the building. A cinema, a children's play area, and The Mill Café round out the shared offering.

For 17 residences, this is a generous facility count. The risk with such a ratio is maintenance cost per unit; the benefit is that amenity spaces rarely feel crowded.

# Location and the surrounding district

Al Satwa borders Jumeirah to the south and connects northward to Sheikh Zayed Road, placing Elemental 22 within reasonable reach of Downtown Dubai, the DIFC, and Dubai International Airport. The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates are accessible by car, and the broader Jumeirah strip, with its concentration of independent restaurants and beachside venues, is nearby.

The neighbourhood itself is changing. Jumeirah Garden City represents a structured attempt to bring a new residential and retail layer to a district that has historically been more commercial and low-rise. Buyers entering now are, in effect, taking a position on that transition.

# Who this building suits, and where it sits in the current market

Elemental 22 occupies a specific gap: boutique in scale, mid-to-upper in price, and located in a district that carries more upside uncertainty than an established address like Dubai Hills or Palm Jumeirah. The AED 1.8 million entry point is accessible for an international buyer deploying capital from the UK or Europe, where equivalent square footage in London or Paris would cost considerably more. The upper end, at AED 3.86 million for 1,428 sq ft, targets buyers who want generous space without the carrying costs of a villa.

The June 2028 delivery date means buyers are purchasing three years ahead of handover, with construction underway. That is a standard timeline for off-plan Dubai purchases, but one that rewards buyers who have done their due diligence on the developer's track record rather than relying on renderings alone. For those drawn to Al Satwa's emerging character and comfortable with the associated development risk, Elemental 22 offers an early position in a neighbourhood that Dubai's planning authorities have earmarked for significant change.
