DMCC, Danube Properties to develop new AED2bn residential towers in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers

DMCC, the free zone authority in Dubai, has partnered with leading private developer Danube Properties to bring a new residential project to Jumeirah Lakes Towers district.

The development will see two 65-storey towers built, providing 1,200 residential units with a total built-up area of 1.7 million square feet.

Valued at approximately $545 million (AED 2 billion), the project will sit adjacent to DMCC’s Uptown Dubai neighbourhood.

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC said: “Demand for premium residential property across the JLT community is higher than ever, as we have seen with the resounding success of Viewz, our first project with Danube which is fully sold.

“Boasting a community of over 100,000 people, JLT has become one of the most popular districts in Dubai thanks to its truly complete offering for visitors, businesses and residents. We are proud to partner with Danube for a second time as we continue to shape and drive the transformation of JLT and enhance the high-quality residential offering for our expanding community.”

This latest collaboration follows the success of Danube and DMCC’s previous Viewz project, comprising two towers which have been fully sold.

“As a rapidly expanding private real estate developer in the UAE, we are constantly seeking prime plots in strategic development zones. This partnership with DMCC empowers Danube Properties to enhance the appeal of our upcoming project, providing an opportunity for investors and homebuyers to capitalise on future value appreciation thanks to JLT’s attractive location and the support of DMCC,” Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group added.

Throughout 2023 DMCC partnered with five developers on six commercial and residential projects across JLT and Uptown Dubai.

The authority’s continued development of these areas supports record foreign investment into Dubai. DMCC itself accounts for 11 percent of the emirate’s foreign direct investment.

101 Floors, 1,346 Homes and More; Dubai Soon To Welcome Bayz101 With Units Starting At AED1.2M

Dubai, a city synonymous with architectural marvels, is set to welcome Danube Properties’ latest gem – Bayz101. This ambitious project, situated in the heart of Business Bay, is a colossal 101-level skyscraper boasting 1,346 homes, with prices starting at an enticing AED1.2m ($327,000). Let’s delve into the details of this groundbreaking venture.

In the realm of towering structures, Bayz101 stands as the fourth tallest in Dubai, joining the elite league alongside the iconic Burj Khalifa, Marina 101, and Princess Tower. Scheduled for completion in 2028, this mega-tall tower is not merely a residential haven; it is a testament to Danube Properties’ commitment to luxury and investment excellence.

Covering a sprawling 2.1 million square feet, Bayz101 marks Danube Properties’ largest venture to date, both in terms of units and overall space. The project offers a diverse range of living spaces, from chic studio apartments to spacious four-bedroom homes, alongside retail options, catering to a myriad of lifestyle preferences.

With prices commencing at AED1.2m ($327,000) for studio units, Bayz101’s total development value surpasses AED3bn ($817m). What sets this project apart is its 1% monthly payment plan, providing accessible funding options and turning the dream of home ownership into reality for aspiring homeowners.

Dubai, a city known for pushing boundaries, jointly holds the record for hosting the highest number of towers with 100 floors, alongside Chicago. Bayz101 is not just a skyscraper; it is a bold statement reflecting Danube Properties’ larger-than-life dreams converted into reality.

Beyond its towering presence, Bayz101 offers residents more than 40 amenities, including a health club, swimming pool, jogging track, sports arena, working space, business centre, meeting place, tennis court, sky bar, and even on-call medical services. Overall, the comprehensive array underscores Danube Properties’ commitment to enhancing the living experience.

Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response to their previous projects. And, he emphasized the city’s role in inspiring bold initiatives. Bayz101, he declared, is not just a dream but a historic moment, symbolizing the realisation of their grand vision.

As Bayz101 takes its place in Dubai’s skyline, it adds to the city’s architectural splendour.  Also, it stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence by Danube Properties.

Dubai luxury property market to maintain fastest growth rate in H2

Demand for Dubai’s luxury properties will remain strong in the second half of 2023 and will be the fastest growing market among all the major cities around the world on the back of the continued inflow of millionaires, with the market facing a supply shortage of high-end units.

Following an 11.2 per cent increase in capital value during the January-June period, industry analysts project another up to 10 per cent increase in prices of high-end units during the second half, maintaining the fastest growth rate for the whole year.

Importantly, the luxury segment will continue to drive the capital value of the mid and affordable units as well.

In order to cash on unprecedented demand, Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of Danube Properties, said more than 15 projects were launched and nearly sold out at launch between June and July.

“It reflects a strong investor appetite, which I believe, will continue not only for the rest of the year but also continue well in 2024. Although the prices are significantly high compared to the lows of the Covid-19 pandemic period, it is still reasonable and in some cases, there is room for further growth. It is also good for property buyers and investors as the increased rental yield makes up for the increased price. So, for a Dh1 million apartment, investors can still count on Dh50,000 – Dh70,000 rent, which is between 5-7 percent annual return on investment,” said Sajan.

Rizwan Sajans journey: From the slums of Ghatkopar to the glitzy world of luxury in Dubai

Is there anything common between Aston Martin, Fashion TV, Tonino Lamborghini Casa and Filmfare on one side, and the slums of Mumbai, one of the largest building materials companies in Dubai, and Danube Group—a diversified business conglomerate which clocked a turnover of $2 billion last year—on the other side? There is only one: Rizwan Sajan. The first-generation entrepreneur was born in the slums of Ghatkopar in Mumbai. After dropping out of school, he landed a job as a salesman in Kuwait, founded a trading firm in Dubai in 1993, went on to buy the rights for Filmfare magazine in the Middle East, and is now building luxury apartments and villas that have a tie-up with brands such as Aston Martin, Fashion TV and Tonino Lamborghini Casa to take care of the interiors of a suite of luxury residential projects.

If you haven’t noticed the Danube Group, you are not watching enough TV, especially the ongoing cricket World Cup matches where the Dubai-based conglomerate with interests in building materials, home décor and real estate has been feverishly advertising, or you have not been flying top Indian airlines where one can spot stickers of ‘The 1% Man’ plastered on the rear side of the headrest of the seats. Over the last few months, Sajan and his Danube Group have been relentlessly wooing Indians to buy high-end and luxury residential properties in Dubai by pitching the country as a great investment destination.

From the slums to luxurious towers, how does one explain the fairytale journey? The entrepreneur starts the conversation by expressing his gratitude. “God has been kind,” smiles Sajan, who ventured into the real estate market of the Middle East in 2014, rolled out 25 residential projects in the UAE over the last nine years, including 10 in the last 19 months, and is trying to make luxuy affordable by launching a 1 percent per month payment plan. “How much of your success is luck, and what would be the share of hard work?” I ask as I try to make sense of his rags-to-riches story. “I would give them equal chances,” he again flashes his endearing smile.

However hard you work, Sajan underlines, if lady luck is not on your side, you will fail. “Similarly, even if you’re lucky but you don’t work hard, you are bound to fail,” he adds. The clichéd mantra—right person, at the right time and at the right place—to a large extent explains the meteoric rise of the man who had a rough childhood.

Sajan takes us back to his rocky early days in Mumbai. There were traces, though, of luck which the young lad couldn’t realise during his hardship years. His father miraculously won a ‘subsidised’ lottery, moved his family into a tiny apartment, and tried his best to look after the family. Though he managed to pay the tuition fees for the kids, it was never enough. Young Sajan, with his sisters, used to walk a few kilometres to reach school. The pocket money—₹15 in total for all the kids—was never sufficient for the young ones who could barely buy anything from the school canteen. The young boy decided to do his bit to earn some money. He implored his dad to lend ₹1,000, and started his early journey into rudimentary trading.

Sajan’s low-lying fruit—call it the catchment area—turned out to be his schoolmates. He bought books in bulk, sold them to his friends at the market rate, and started making some extra bucks. “Now I could buy food from the canteen,” he recalls. The next gig was selling milk in the locality and making the most of a log tail of festivals round the year. From sourcing rakhis to selling firecrackers, he did everything to earn extra money. Then tragedy struck when he was 16. His father died, Sajan had to drop out of school and take care of the family. Using a small kitty that his dad managed to save at the firm where he worked, he got into the business of manufacturing box files.

The business clicked, but making ends meet was still a challenge. Two years later, his uncle offered him a job in Kuwait. “That was my lottery,” recounts Sajan. Back in Mumbai, the young founder was earning ₹6,000. In Dubai, he got a monthly salary of ₹18,000 (150 dinar). He joined as a trainee salesman, and quickly climbed the ladder to become manager. “My salary increased from 150 dinar to 1,500 dinar,” he says. Now when one adds a sales commission of around 50,000 dinar every month, the salary starts to look obscene. “That was a lot of money for me,” he adds. The salesman was living the dream. He bought a Toyota Land Cruiser, purchased a house in Bandra, and got his sister married.

Soon, came a wicked twist in the fairytale. In August 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Sajan’s wonderland came crashing, and he was forced to return to Mumbai. “That was the second turning point in my life,” he says. ‘I was back to zero.”

A few years later, he tried his luck in Dubai. In 1993, Sajan started a trading firm. “It was a brokerage business, where I was making commission,” he says, adding that soon he started a building material business. Over the next decade and a half, he kept diversifying and added more heft to his business. In 2006, he started sanitary solutions’ brand Milano. In 2008, he ventured into the home furnishing business with Danube Home. Four years later, in 2012, came Alucopanel, a business of aluminium composite panels. The real estate entry happened in 2014. “Since then there has been no looking back,” says Sajan.

The founder tells us what led to a turning point in the real estate business, and his fortune. “It was the 1 percent plan,” he says, breaking down the plan. Apart from a small down payment, the buyers had to make a monthly payment of 1 percent, and the balance was collected once the building was ready. “We realised that 80 to 90 percent of expats were still renting, and I wanted to convert them into buying their own properties,” he says of the genesis of the plan, adding that by the time the building was ready, the consumer had already paid 50-60 percent of the amount. The banks now, Sajan avers, saw no risk in lending. “Now I am democratising luxury,” he says beaming

Ask the 1 percent man whether he has made 100 percent plans of entering the Indian market, and he narrates his bitter experience. Though he bought his first apartment, which was on the fourth floor of a multi-storeyed building in Mumbai, he soon realised that the builder got into trouble because he didn’t have permission to build the fifth and sixth floors. The next encounter too was a disaster. “Twelve years ago, I bought an apartment in Parel. Last month I got possession,” he rues. Dubai, he underlines, offers a bigger and massive opportunity in real estate as compared to most of the countries across the world. “People are making Dubai their second home because of the trust and confidence they have in the city,” he says. In spite of a small presence of a furnishing business in India, which he says is in an auto-pilot mode, Sajan is busy expanding his empire in the Middle East, and working with a missionary zeal to democratise luxury.

Danube Properties Launches Two Projects – Sportz and Eleganz Amidst High Demand

Riding high on strong demand from residents and non-residents in Dubai and the region, Danube Properties, the fastest-growing private real estate developer in the UAE, today announced Sportz, a stylish 39-floor tower that will deliver 1,100 apartments in Dubai Sports City, while also unveiling their first ready-to-move-in project, Eleganz, which will deliver 259 stylish and elegant apartments and townhouses at the Jumeirah Village Circle. With increased interest from Indians living in the UAE and India, Danube Properties will continue to conduct roadshows and expos across key centres in India. Over the months, Danube Properties has witnessed over 30-40% of Indians investing in each project launched by the company and also opting for the revolutionary 1 per cent plan.

Sportz is the 27th project announced by the developer since entering the real estate market in June 2014, and the 12th project to be unveiled in the last 22 months. The announcement came after completely selling out two out of three towers of the Oceanz project, announced in September this year. Sportz is Danube Properties’ 7th project so far this year.

“The twin launches reflect a strong commitment of Danube Properties to the UAE economy, which is one of the fastest-growing economies in the region,” Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, said. “Real estate is still one of the most lucrative and sustainable asset classes for investors who want to make the best use of the asset that offers a high return on investment. With Eleganz, we tested the ready-to-move-in market segment while all other projects have been on the off-line market. This reflects our ability to build and deliver projects with our financial resources and makes Danube Properties one of the most sustainable developers in this part of the world.”

All Danube Properties’ homes come with a trend-setting 1 percent monthly payment plan and 40+ amenities, following the initial deposits – making home acquisition and possession more affordable and attractive. In addition to launching projects and building them, Danube Properties will also deliver two projects this year including Jewelz, and Olivz. Also, most of the projects launched in 2022 and 2023 are ahead of the construction and delivery schedule.

“Homes at Sportz will take lifestyle to a completely new level with state-of-the-art Sports amenities like never before that will offer a luxury and larger-than-life lifestyle to homeowners who will be pampered with the best of the best that is available in the market,” Rizwan Sajan says.

Dubai Fitness Month, championed by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, encourages Dubai residents to prioritize their health and well-being. Fazza’s vision to create a fitness-focused community, motivating people to lead active, healthy lives, and fostering a culture of wellness and vitality in the city, is one of the key reasons for nudging Danube Properties to build a community like Sportz.

Sportz by Danube sets a new benchmark in real estate projects with unrivaled sports amenities; featuring an Olympic-sized lap pool, trampoline area, table tennis, wall climbing, and a sky jogging track, it offers an unmatched recreational experience. In addition to this, Sportz will also offer mentoring and coaching as one of the amenities. This project will exemplify Danube Properties’ commitment to an active, vibrant lifestyle for the residents of Dubai.

At Eleganz, customers can book the property by making a 40% down payment and paying the rest 1% monthly. They can start generating a guaranteed 6% ROI from the fully-furnished properties, almost instantly. This is Danube Properties’ first ready-to-move-in project to be put on the market.

With these two new projects, Danube Properties’ project portfolio will stand at 14,888 units spread across 27 projects, with a combined development value exceeding Dh 15.47 billion so far.

Apartments within Sportz and Eleganz will be smart and sustainable homes and will consume less energy – in line with the UAE’s commitment to sustainability ahead of COP28. Danube Properties offers an instant initial sale contract on-site and also a 10-year Golden Visa – especially for those who qualify as per the investment criteria – subject to government approval.

As one of the most successful developers in the UAE with the highest launch-to-delivery ratio, Danube Properties has delivered Bayz, Glamz, Starz, Resortz, Elz, Lawnz, and Wavez while it prepares to deliver two more projects this year. All these projects have been greatly appreciated by those who have bought units in them.
