The developer plans to deliver more than 2 million square feet of low- to mid-rise residential communities across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah.

Its vision is to create value-driven communities where comfort and technology meet, catering specifically to the underserved end-user segment.
The company’s first projects will be in Dubai South, beginning with a meticulously planned residential development to be launched soon. Additional projects are in the pipeline for Arjan, Dubai Land Residential Complex (DLRC), and Jebel Ali Hills, focusing on emerging neighborhoods that offer long-term livability and growth potential.

“With over 25 years of cross-sector experience, we’ve learned that lasting success lies in understanding real market needs and executing with precision. There’s a clear opportunity to serve the growing number of professionals and families seeking more than just housing, we are here to serve those who want a connected, modern lifestyle at a fair price,” said Safdar Badami, director at Barco Developers.

The initial focus on Dubai South reflects the area’s rapid rise as a key business and residential hub, supported by its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport and the infrastructure legacy of Expo 2020.
“At Barco, we’re reimagining residential living in the UAE by bringing high-quality, Smart home communities to emerging markets. We’re taking a disciplined, data-driven approach to development, one that prioritises long-term value over short-term gains,” said Saadaat Bajwa, director at Barco Developers. “Each of our projects is backed by rigorous market analysis, efficient design practices, and a commitment to sustainable construction.”

Barco Developers aims to deliver homes with high utility, modern designs, and technology-enabled amenities designed for end users rather than short-term investors. By focusing on mid-income buyers in strategic growth zones, the company seeks to fill a critical market gap while building lasting value for residents and stakeholders.
