Livia Residences: Barco’s First Project in Dubai South

A New Residential Milestone

Barco Developers, a newcomer in UAE’s real estate scene, have unveiled their debut project—Livia Residences—a six-storey building with 71 apartments located in Dubai South. This is the start of their broader vision to deliver communities totaling over 2 million sq ft across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah.

Curated Living Redefined

Starting at AED 555,000 (approx. $151,093), Livia Residences introduces a modern, lifestyle-driven living concept dubbed “Curated Living.” Each home features spacious interiors, smart floor-plans, and access to 20+ upscale amenities. Completion is targeted for Q4 2027.

Design meets Functionality

Inspired by Los Angeles, these residences blend sleek glass façades, landscaped surroundings, and interiors boasting 3-metre-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fully equipped kitchens. The design balances aspirational aesthetics with Dubai practicality.

Smart Comfort at Home

Each unit is outfitted with smart home technology to automate climate, lighting, and curtains—ensuring both comfort and energy efficiency.

A Lifestyle to Suit All

Residents will enjoy a diverse array of amenities catering to all lifestyles: swimming pool, yoga deck, golf turf, running track, outdoor cinema, children’s play zones, pet areas, co-working spaces, and Wi-Fi enabled communal zones—all secured by 24/7 smart surveillance.

Built for the Future

Safdar Badami, Co-Founder, emphasizes their goal:

“We’re not just building homes—we’re creating connected environments where architecture, smart tech, and lifestyle blend seamlessly.”

Saadaat Yaqub, Co-Founder, adds:

“Launching in Dubai South—a strategically connected, future-ready district—ensures residents enjoy premium living today and long-term growth tomorrow.”

Future developments are also planned for Jebel Ali Hills, Arjan, and the Dubai Land Residential Complex (DLRC)—all part of Barco’s strategy to deliver comfort-and-tech enhanced communities suited for today's middle-class families.
