The brief

About this project

Takaya is a residential community by Union Properties in Motor City, Dubai. Union Properties describes it as a new community within Motor City's established hub: three apartment towers, townhouses and villas on a podium of shared amenities, which it calls a city within a city.

Apartments, townhouses and villas in Motor City

Union Properties' fact sheet (file dated April 2026) counts 744 apartments, 39 townhouses and 5 villas, and gives the land use as residential and retail. The brochure says the apartments are in three residential towers on a parking podium, and that the townhouses and villas sit on top of the podium to the east and west of the towers. The fact sheet gives the tower heights as G+B+P+19 for the Symphony and Harmony towers and G+B+P+29 for the Takaya Tower.

Apartment type Number of units
Studio 128
1 bedroom 232
2 bedroom 241
3 bedroom 115
4 bedroom 12
Special units 16
Total 744

As printed in Union Properties' Takaya fact sheet, company profile, file dated 14 April 2026.

The brochure describes a mix that runs from studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments to special terrace units and penthouse duplexes and simplexes, and four and five-bedroom townhouses and villas.

The name comes from the Arabic "takiya", the rest areas that nomads built near rivers and oases and left for the next travellers. The brochure presents Takaya as a modern version of that idea: a place to rest and reconnect.

It adds that solar panels are used in the landscape design and on the towers' roofs, and that the development has sound insulation.

Design

The brochure describes contemporary design that responds to the local environment, with a seamless link between the landscape and the buildings. The curved balconies mirror the curved lines of motorsport without compromising the internal layouts, and materials and features are chosen for the desert climate. The brochure says the glass reduces harmful rays from the sun while keeping interiors bright.

Location

The brochure describes Motor City as the heart of New Dubai, a green suburban freehold master community between two major highways, with easy access to Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates. It prints these journey times from Motor City.
