Whitestone Residences

Whitestone Residences is a boutique apartment building by Axiom Prime Real Estate, situated in Al Satwa and scheduled for completion in April 2027. The development comprises 18 residences across a single tower, spanning studios through to two-bedroom apartments, with prices running from approximately AED 1.17 million to AED 3.17 million.

# The tower and its position in Al Satwa

Al Satwa occupies an unusual stretch of central Dubai, a neighbourhood that has historically resisted the homogenising forces of large-scale master-plan development. It sits close to the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor without being consumed by it, and that tension between accessibility and texture is precisely what gives addresses here their character. Whitestone Residences arrives at a moment when Al Satwa is drawing serious attention from developers and owner-occupiers alike, as the area transitions from a predominantly low-rise, mixed-use district into something more considered.

The building is a single tower of just 18 units. That scale is not incidental. It produces a density of common amenity per resident that larger towers struggle to match, and it tends to attract buyers who regard anonymity in a 400-unit block as a liability rather than a convenience.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The unit mix runs from studios at 509 square feet through to a two-bedroom residence of 2,910 square feet, which represents an unusually broad range within a single small building. The majority of one-bedroom apartments cluster around 830 to 832 square feet, with two larger one-bedroom units at 1,159 and 2,025 square feet respectively. Two-bedroom homes range from just over 1,022 square feet to that top-floor configuration at 2,910 square feet.

Kitchens arrive fitted and equipped. Beyond that, the residences are delivered unfurnished, giving buyers full latitude over interior decisions. Service charges are estimated at AED 15 to 17 per square foot per annum.

# Amenities and communal spaces

For a building of 18 units, the amenity list covers more ground than might be expected. Residents have access to a swimming pool, a dip pool, gym, outdoor dining area, BBQ area, fireside and a play area.

The presence of both a full pool and a dip pool alongside a fireside and outdoor dining space suggests the rooftop or upper floors have been given deliberate attention as social infrastructure rather than afterthought. A play area indicates the building has been designed with families in mind, not merely young professionals.

# Distance from Downtown, the airport and the beach

The geography rewards a closer look. Downtown Dubai sits 5.2 kilometres away. Dubai International Airport is 11 kilometres out. Jumeira Public Beach is 2.3 kilometres from the building, Al Wasl Park is 1 kilometre away, and Al Ferdous Kindergarten is within half a kilometre. Mercato Shopping Mall on Jumeirah Beach Road is 3.6 kilometres distant.

That combination of beach proximity, airport access and green space at close range in a central Dubai address is not common. Most buildings that can claim the beach at under 3 kilometres typically concede on the airport or on daily-use infrastructure. Al Satwa's position makes that trade-off largely unnecessary.

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

At AED 1.17 million for entry and AED 3.17 million at the top, Whitestone Residences occupies the bracket between straightforward investment purchase and considered owner-occupied home. The studio price point brings it within reach of buyers seeking rental-yield exposure in a central district with improving fundamentals. The larger two-bedroom units, particularly the 2,910-square-foot configuration, are priced and scaled for buyers who want space and location without committing to a villa or a large-format tower.

For GCC buyers seeking a pied-à-terre that connects easily to DIFC and the broader city, or for European buyers attracted to a compact building with fixed-number neighbours and no sprawling lobby queues, the proposition is coherent. Construction is underway with a target handover of April 2027, and the project is registered under escrow number 019000090000. Buyers at this stage of construction carry development risk, as with any off-plan purchase, but the short timeline to completion narrows that window considerably.
