The Objective

Objective

Private investor acquisition in Downtown Dubai, steps from Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. The mandate: acquire and reposition a well-located apartment, maximise perceived value through targeted renovation, minimise capex per sqft using the Orgament framework, and execute a swift resale within 30–45 days of completion.

Target Outcomes
  • Elevate interior to premium standards aligned with the Downtown market
  • Optimise renovation costs using a strict cost-per-sqft methodology
  • Complete full transformation within 6–8 weeks
  • Reduce time-on-market to under 45 days post-completion
  • Deliver measurable value uplift versus comparable units
Key Constraints
  • Budget discipline with strict cost-per-sqft benchmarks
  • Total timeline capped at under 4 months (acquisition to exit)
  • Premium positioning without over-specification
  • Full RERA compliance throughout the process

What we valued most was the structured approach and the quality of the investment memo. Batimmo helped us stress test assumptions, quantify downside risk, and move forward with a clear strategy and timeline.
