Takaya

About the project

Takaya is an active mixed-use residential development by Union Properties in Motor City. The 822-unit project combines apartments, townhouses, villas and retail space across three residential towers and a low-rise home component. Construction began on 15 July 2024, with completion scheduled for 31 December 2027; the recorded completion ratio was 15.62% on 5 August 2026.

The project and its layout

Takaya brings together 744 apartments, 39 townhouses and five villas, alongside retail spaces. Its apartment component is arranged across three residential towers above a parking podium. Tower B is configured as one basement level, ground level, one podium level and 29 floors, while Towers A and C each have one basement level, ground level, one podium level and 19 floors. The development includes a private amenity podium and entry plazas. Homes are positioned to offer views of the Dubai Autodrome and the Dubai skyline. Takaya is a freehold community, providing a range of home types within one Motor City address.

Apartments, townhouses and villas

The residential selection begins with studios, followed by one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. The project also includes four-bedroom and five-bedroom townhouses and villas. Apartment homes form the largest part of the development, with 744 residences across the three towers. The townhouse and villa collection totals 44 homes, comprising 39 townhouses and five villas. This creates a residential mix spanning compact studios, multi-bedroom apartments and larger low-rise homes. Terracing units and penthouses are also included within the project’s stated residential offering. Retail spaces form part of the wider development, bringing shops, cafés and restaurants into the community.

Amenities and shared spaces

The private podium is planned with a temperature-controlled swimming pool and a separate lap pool, as well as a gym. Outdoor sports facilities include basketball, squash and paddle courts. A 600-metre walking and jogging track runs through landscaped gardens, shaded areas, water bodies and a water stream. Relaxation spaces and an outdoor BBQ area add further communal settings. Children have indoor and outdoor play areas, while a games room and multi-purpose hall provide additional indoor facilities. The development also includes co-working spaces, a covered arcade, retail spaces, cafés and restaurants. Underground parking, 24-hour security, concierge service and entry plazas are included in the project.
