Takmeel Development

Developer overview

Takmeel Real Estate Development L.L.C is a developer with an office in Bay Square, Business Bay. Its leadership team, listed on the company's "Our Story" page, is headed by Mian Asad Bashir as Founder and Chairman, Sheikh Tariq Ali as Managing Director and Hamza Asad as Chief Executive Officer. The company states a vision built on excellence, integrity and innovation, and a mission to create distinctive projects, keep quality high, develop its people and expand into other real estate sectors.

Most of Takmeel's Dubai homes carry the "Divine" name, which makes it easy to recognise the brand but also easy to confuse one project with another. The company also builds in Ajman, with an apartment and villa project, which is outside the scope of this Dubai guide.

Portfolio and locations

• Divine Al Barari, Majan – the current flagship, with studios and one- to three-bedroom apartments near Dubai Miracle Garden and Sheikh Zayed Road access. The amenity list is extensive: a beach-entry pool, adult and children's pools, a kids' splash pad, an aqua gym, cabanas, a zen garden, steam and sauna rooms, EV parking and co-working, with a rooftop outdoor cinema, mini golf, a multi-purpose court, an archery area and an observatory point. DPF currently has a listing here. See Majan listings and the Majan area guide.
• Divine Living, Arjan – one- to three-bedroom apartments with smart-home technology, shown as sold out.
• Divine Residences, Arjan – a ready building near the Miracle Garden and Butterfly Garden with studios and one- and two-bedroom homes, also shown as sold out. See Arjan listings.

Property types

Takmeel mainly builds apartment buildings, from studios to three-bedroom homes, with a one-off mansion at Meydan and villas in Ajman. Its earlier Dubai buildings are shown as sold out or ready, so resales there are secondary-market sales, while Divine Al Barari and Divine Elements are newer projects where resales are likely to be off-plan.

What buyers should verify

1. The name "Al Barari". Divine Al Barari is in Majan. It is not part of the Al Barari community and is not an Al Barari Development project, so check the location on the Oqood.
2. Which Divine project. With several Divine buildings, confirm that the listing, the floor plan and the registration all name the same one.
3. Handover timing. Get Takmeel's current completion estimate in writing, then look up the registered progress on the Dubai Land Department's project status service.
4. Payment plan statement. Ask Takmeel for an account of every instalment received and the sum outstanding on the unit.
5. Resale NOC. Confirm when Takmeel will issue a NOC and whether a minimum paid amount applies.
6. Ajman projects. Golf View Living is in Ajman, where registration runs through a different land department. Do not confuse those units with Takmeel's Dubai stock.

Finding distressed and below-market Takmeel properties

Takmeel describes Divine Al Barari as an upcoming project, so resales there are off-plan. A typical seller is an investor who bought at launch and would now rather exit than keep funding instalments; some advertise an urgent sale and become motivated sellers. In the completed Arjan and Studio City buildings, distress looks more like a landlord who needs to sell quickly.

Below original price, or below OP, refers to pricing under the seller's contract with Takmeel. Below market value looks outward instead, at what comparable Divine apartments have recently changed hands for. In an off-plan resale the buyer inherits the instalments still due, so the real outlay includes everything still owed. A cash buyer may settle the seller's balance in one step, but the NOC and Dubai Land Department transfer apply in every case.

DPF gathers these listings for comparison and does not set asking prices or check each seller's claims, so the steps above stay with the buyer.
