Dubai, December 9, 2025: Following the viral unveiling in Mumbai, the much-anticipated ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ – a premium commercial tower named in honour of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan – received a spectacular launch in Dubai in the presence of the iconic actor and Rizwan Sajan, Founder & Chairman of the Danube Group. The highlight of the gala night was when Danube’s head honcho proudly announced a complete sell out of ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’, an AED 2.1 billion development on the launch day.

“The record-breaking success of ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ is a proud moment for us. This overwhelming response is a clear reflection of the project’s unmatched value – from its prime location with seamless access to Dubai’s key destinations, to its world-class amenities and thoughtfully crafted design inspired by global luxury standards. Every element of this tower was envisioned to offer a lifestyle that stands apart, and the demand we witnessed confirms that we have delivered something truly exceptional to the market,” said Rizwan Sajan.

This celebratory launch at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City, was attended by over six thousand guests, including leading personalities from the UAE, top creators, influential business leaders, prominent real estate stakeholders, and global media.

‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ marks a landmark collaboration between two trailblazers who have dominated their respective industries for more than three decades. Set to illuminate the Dubai skyline, this premium commercial tower will rise majestically on the Sheikh Zayed Road, emerging as a prestigious address for global entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries. With more than 35 amenities under one roof, the tower is thoughtfully designed to elevate professional life and seamlessly enhance work–life balance for its occupants.

Expressing his gratitude at the launch, Shah Rukh Khan said: “To see a project of this scale in Dubai carry my name is both an honour and a reminder of how generosity and vision can come together. Dubai has always embraced me with warmth – it’s a city built on courage, imagination, and the belief that nothing is impossible. ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ reflects that very spirit. I’m grateful to be associated with Mr. Rizwan Sajan and Danube, a brand that continually pushes boundaries and inspires people to dream bigger.”

Echoing this sentiment, Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, added: “Shah Rukh Khan and Danube share a parallel journey – both starting modestly more than three decades ago, driven by the belief that passion and persistence can rewrite destinies. Shah Rukh transformed his dreams into a global legacy, a philosophy that resonates deeply with our growth at Danube. ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ brings together these two stories of determination and aspiration, standing as a global testament to vision, value, and the limitless power of dreaming without boundaries.”

Meanwhile, speculation is rife about whether a ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube 2.0’ is in the works. Playing along, Rizwan Sajan teased the crowd with SRK’s classic line: “picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.”

Spanning over 1 million square feet of built-up area, ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ represents an iconic fusion of luxury, innovation, and star power. The tower sets a new benchmark for premium commercial real estate in Dubai, combining world-class architecture with an address inspired by the King of Bollywood. With units starting at AED 2 million, the development will comprise 488 units, bringing its total valuation to AED 2.1 billion.

The premium business tower boasts more than 35 world-class amenities, including a sky pool, a dedicated helipad for air taxis, valet services, and exclusive executive lounges – each crafted to redefine productivity, prestige, and professional excellence. Its prime location also offers exceptional proximity to Dubai’s most iconic destinations, including the Burj Khalifa, Dubai International Airport, and the Gold Souk.

With its signature 1% monthly payment plan, Danube continues to democratize property ownership in one of the world’s most aspirational cities. The project reaffirms the brand’s commitment to offering luxurious, high-value investments without compromising on accessibility.

Shah Rukh Khan, one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema, has scripted history once again. In a landmark moment that blends cinema, real estate, and global celebrity influence, the ‘Badshah of Bollywood’ has become the first actor ever to have his name emblazoned across a skyscraper in Dubai.

The announcement was made at a grand event in Mumbai on Friday, attended by Shah Rukh and hosted by his friend of many years, director-choreographer Farah Khan. The event unveiled the spectacular project, named Shahrukhz by Danube. The Danube Group will be building the 55-storey commercial tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, named after the Bollywood superstar.

Shah Rukh posted about the new project, which marks his foray into real estate. “It is humbling and deeply touching to have a landmark in Dubai carry my name and to be an integral part of the cityscape forever. Dubai has always been a special place for me – a city that celebrates dreams, ambition, and possibility. Shahrukhz by Danube – this Commercial tower is a symbol of how far belief and hard work can take you,” he said.

In the accompanying video, SRK says in Hindi, “We don’t chase dreams, we turn them into reality. Legacy isn’t inherited, it is made. This building is part of that legacy.”

It is only fitting that the tower named after the 60-year-old actor will be built in Dubai. The ‘Pathan’ star calls Dubai his second home, being one of the first Bollywood stars to own property in the emirate. He has a lavish villa named ‘Jannat’ located in Palm Jumeirah.

The 1-million sqft tower, with prices starting from Dh1.9 million, aims to become a global address for entrepreneurs, innovators, and fast-growing businesses. It will also have a statue with Shah Rukh’s iconic pose, spreading his arms at the entrance, so that people can take pictures. It is slated for completion in 2029.

The announcement was made at a spectacular gala evening held at Grand Hyatt Mumbai, in the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and Rizwan Sajan. The launch drew hundreds of guests, including leading influencers, business leaders, investors, creators, and media personalities, making it one of the most celebrated real estate unveilings of the year.

Danube Properties, one of the UAE’s most trusted and dynamic real estate developers, continues to set new benchmarks in luxury and value-driven living with the launch of its latest project – Breez by Danube. Rising majestically as Dubai Maritime City’s tallest residential tower, Breez ushers in a new era of premium waterfront living, where panoramic sea views meet world-class design. Offered under Danube’s signature 1% monthly payment plan, the project makes the dream of owning a luxury home on the water more accessible than ever.

This launch also marks Danube’s second landmark development and fourth tower in Dubai Maritime City, following the resounding success of Oceanz by Danube, which redefined waterfront living in Dubai. Building on that momentum, Breez reflects the developer’s vision of transforming Dubai’s maritime district into one of the city’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations. Breez presents an opportunity for both homeowners and investors to secure a rare asset that combines lifestyle, prestige, and long-term financial growth. With waterfront plots becoming increasingly limited, Breez offers strong ROI and enduring value.

Standing tall as a 60-storey tower with a built-up area of around 1.5 million sq. ft., Breez by Danube is designed as a landmark address that embodies luxury from every angle. The development will feature more than 1,000 units – from modern studios and spacious 1–4 bedroom apartments to ultra-exclusive Breez Duplex Villas – all oriented to capture breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Arabian Gulf. Complementing its residences, Breez will also host a curated mix of retail outlets and restaurants, bringing shopping and dining experiences right to residents’ doorsteps.

Every detail of Breez has been thoughtfully curated to embody resort-style living. The tower will feature more than 40 lifestyle amenities, blending leisure, wellness, and community experiences. Highlights include rooftop infinity pools overlooking the ocean, state-of-the-art wellness and fitness centers, landscaped jogging tracks, outdoor cinemas under the stars, BBQ decks, lush gardens, and children’s play zones. Each residence comes fully furnished with elegant interiors, ensuring a seamless, move-in-ready experience.

Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of Danube Group, said: “At Danube, our mission has always been to seamlessly blend luxury with affordability. With Breez by Danube, we’re not just offering homes – we are delivering a premium waterfront lifestyle with panoramic sea views in one of Dubai’s most prestigious destinations. Dubai has consistently witnessed some of the highest ROI and value appreciation in waterfront properties, and Breez takes this legacy further. Building on the success of Oceanz, Breez elevates our vision by combining an iconic location, an exceptional lifestyle, and unmatched investment potential. Supported by our signature 1% monthly payment plan, Breez empowers both homeowners and investors to achieve their dreams without compromise.”

With an anticipated completion date in July 2029, Breez underscores Danube’s hallmark reputation for innovation, affordability, and ahead-of-schedule delivery.
