Elemental Developments, the boutique developer founded by Al Barari CEO Hazza Zaal, has launched Elemental 78, a completed residential building in Jumeirah Garden City, Dubai. Unlike most launches this year, Elemental 78 is not off-plan: construction is finished and show apartments are open, so buyers can see the finished homes and amenities before they commit. The launch was announced on 7 October 2026 and reported by Gulf News and Khaleej Times.

A Ready Boutique Building From the Team Behind Al Barari
Elemental Developments says Elemental 78 carries the nature-led approach of Al Barari into the city. Climbing greenery, mature planting and landscaped terraces run through the building, which the developer describes as being built around community, efficiency and meaningful design.
"As cities grow, access to nature becomes increasingly important to how people live and feel," Hazza Zaal said at the launch. "The ambition is to carry the philosophy behind Al Barari into the city, creating homes that bring nature, comfort and thoughtful design closer to daily life."

The Apartments
The residences are one, two and three-bedroom apartments with open layouts, natural finishes and large windows. A listing portal that publishes the developer's project data reports 45 apartments in total, mostly one and two-bedroom homes plus a single three-bedroom residence, with sizes from about 629 sq ft to 2,814 sq ft. Because the building is finished, buyers can inspect the actual unit, view and finishes before signing.
Amenities
The amenities sit mostly on the podium and rooftop:
- Rooftop swimming pool with private poolside cabanas
- Technogym-equipped fitness studio and an outdoor yoga pavilion
- Indoor and outdoor children's play areas, including a sand play zone
- Family BBQ and dining terrace with digital screens and cooling
- Koi pond, miniature garden and a landscaped residents' lounge
- Panoramic rooftop viewing deck

Location: Jumeirah Garden City
Jumeirah Garden City is a central, established neighbourhood close to City Walk, Sheikh Zayed Road and the Dubai Water Canal. In its launch announcement the developer gives these approximate travel times:
| Destination | Approximate time | | --- | --- | | J1 Beach | 5 minutes | | Downtown Dubai | 5 minutes | | City Walk | 9 minutes | | Dubai International Airport | 15 minutes |
The project website lists slightly different times (City Walk within walking distance, Downtown Dubai about 10 minutes, DIFC about 10 minutes and The Dubai Mall about 12 minutes), so check the drive at the times you would actually travel.
What It Means for Buyers and Investors
No construction risk. With the building complete, buyers avoid the delivery and specification risks that come with off-plan. What you inspect is what you buy.
Income from day one. Investors can let the apartment straight after transfer instead of waiting two to four years for handover. Central locations near City Walk and Downtown tend to attract professional tenants, though you should base your numbers on current comparable rents rather than projections.
Full payment up front. Ready homes don't come with long developer instalment plans. Plan for the full price, or a mortgage, plus the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee and registration costs.
Golden Visa. Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify an investor for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa, subject to the authorities' current conditions. On the reported prices, the two and three-bedroom apartments would be above that level.
Limited supply. A boutique building with a small number of units in a central district offers scarcity, but also a thinner resale market. Buy for the long term.
