A “from” price is a filter. The sale contract sets what you pay.

Think house-on-a-podium, not a high-rise stack. Marketing stills show curved white terraces and planted courts, with Takaya’s three towers as the backdrop. ^{[1] [2]} Those pictures are mood. Finish, view and amenity rights live on the drawings attached to the sale contract.

Three public size stories:

• Official suite — about 3,744–3,771 sqft on Cluster 2A–2C cards. ^[1]
• Official suite + balcony — about 6,480–6,724 sqft. ^[1]
• Property Finder — 4,457–4,558 sqft, seven 2A / 2B / 2C types, 7 bathrooms, from AED 7,075,756. ^[2]

Ask for a dated price list that names a unit and a net-area sheet before you treat any of those as your quote.

Official Melody cards add up to 16 homes. ^[1] Propsearch’s Takaya guide quotes 39 townhouses for the whole plot — Kalina’s Cluster 1 sits in that bigger number. ^[3] A 39-home brochure is not this row.

PF lists gym, indoor pool, gardens, cinema, cycle track, kids’ play, barbecue and a maid’s room. ^[2] Official copy talks about a two-level podium. Propsearch describes a 450-metre sky garden on the parent Takaya community. ^{[1] [3]} Only the exhibits on your contract say which of those your house can use.

Keep Melody separate from Kalina (Cluster 1 townhouses), Kaia (the five villas), and the apartment towers Harmony, Symphony and Takaya Tower. Official Union Properties puts all six names on one Takaya page. Choose the house you want. Then check the printed form already carries that name. ^[1]

Public handover lines sit together.

• Official Takaya: Q4 2027 ^[1]
• Property Finder: December 2027 / Q4 2027 / expected 1 December 2027 ^[2]
• Propsearch parent: Q4 2027 ^[3]

Brochure dates move. The completion clause on the sale contract is the one that binds.

Construction stamps (portal, not a site walk):

• PF: works started 20 November 2025, progress 0 ^[2]
• Official: under construction, ready by Q4 2027 ^[1]
• Propsearch: construction in 2025, still under development ^[3]

Two public cash sketches:

• PF: 20% at launch, 30% during the build, 50% at handover ^[2]
• Official Takaya: 3 years after handover, with no Melody instalment table ^[1]
• Propsearch: no Melody percentages this visit ^[3]

Do not pick the friendlier version. Copy the printed instalment table from the sale contract.

Seller: Union Properties. Official Takaya, Property Finder and Propsearch all name that company. ^{[1] [2] [3]} A listed developer still leaves registration, escrow, variation and service-charge work on this row.

Neighbourhood: Motor City. Official and portal sources put Takaya there. Listing trees run Dubai → Motor City → Takaya. DLD rows use master Motor City and area Al Hebiah First. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Sources for this page: official Takaya, PF Takaya Melody, Propsearch Takaya (parent). ^{[1] [2] [3]} On this site, Union Properties in Motor City also includes Mirdad and Mirdad 4 — other products, not Melody.

1. Three size stories — official suite ~3,744–3,771, official suite + balcony ~6,480–6,724, PF 4,457–4,558. ^{[1] [2]}
2. Two payment sketches — PF 20/30/50 versus official 3 years after handover. ^{[2] [1]}
3. Melody open vs community open — PF AED 7,075,756 against official chips 850k and 2.796M. The cheaper numbers are not this townhouse. ^{[2] [1]}
4. 16 versus 39 — official Melody cards count 16; Propsearch’s 39 townhouses is the parent mix. ^{[1] [3]}
5. Name mix-up — Kalina, Kaia, Harmony, Symphony, Takaya Tower, or a vague “Takaya” line. ^[1]
6. Thin works data — PF still shows progress 0 after a November 2025 start. ^[2]
7. Deal type — primary, assignment or resale changes which paper you sign.

No dual-locked rental yield sat on these cards, so none is printed here. ^{[2] [3]}

1. Confirm registration and escrow via Dubai Land Department tools before sending a booking fee.
2. Open the reservation pack and the sale contract. Confirm both already print Melody (or Takaya Melody / Cluster 2), plus your unit, bedroom type and net area — not a vague Takaya line, and not Kalina or a tower. You do not draft Union Properties’ template. ^{[1] [2]}
3. Rebuild cash from the printed instalment table. Leave PF 20/30/50 and the official 3-year post-handover chip aside until the form settles it. ^{[2] [1]}
4. Line the contract keys clause up with official Q4 2027 and PF’s 1 December 2027. Keep the contract date. ^{[1] [2]}
5. Use the net area on the official unit drawing, not the three public size stories. ^{[1] [2]}
6. Confirm freehold wording in the sale contract. A portal FAQ is not a title deed. ^[2]
7. Get a written yearly-fee estimate and a list of podium amenities attached to your house. Propsearch prints AED 15 / sqft for the parent — wait for your unit sheet. ^[3]
8. More on the buying process: Dubai off-plan due diligence.
