In this example

documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]standalone
usetikzlibraryshapes.misc, positioning, calc
newcommandelement[1][draw, rectangle] #1
usepackagetikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture
 node [align=center](a) 
 [draw, rectangle]a;
 node [align=center, anchor = north](b) at ($(a.south) + (0, -0.3)$) 
 [draw, rectangle]b;
 node [align=center, anchor = west](c) at ($(a.east) + (0.3, 0)$) 
 elementc;

endtikzpicture
enddocument

at node c I try to use newcommand element that should construct node c in the same way as nodes a and b are constructed.

Is such an approach possible? Assume I need to construct multiple nodes in a repetitive and nontrivial way.

Perhaps you should define a tikz style for nodes:

for one argument

documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]standalone

usetikzlibraryshapes.misc, positioning, calc
usepackagetikz
tikzset
element/.style=draw,rectangle,node contents=#1
begindocument
begintikzpicture
 node [align=center](a) 
 [draw, rectangle]a;
 node [align=center, anchor = north](b) at ($(a.south) + (0, -0.3)$) 
 [draw, rectangle]b;
 node [align=center, anchor = west,element=c,at=($(a.east) + (0.3, 0)$)] ;

endtikzpicture

enddocument

for 3 arguments

documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]standalone

usetikzlibraryshapes.misc, positioning, calc
usepackagetikz
tikzset
element/.style n args=3draw=#2,shape=#3,node contents=#1
begindocument
begintikzpicture
 node [align=center](a) 
 [draw, rectangle]a;
 node [align=center, anchor = north](b) at ($(a.south) + (0, -0.3)$) 
 [draw, rectangle]b;
 node [align=center, anchor = west,element=cbluerectangle,name=c,at=($(a.east) + (0.3, 0)$)] ;

endtikzpicture
enddocument
