“Owners of homes at the Viewz will be able to benefit from high premium due to Aston Martin furnished interiors – the first such collaboration in the UAE. This will help the homeowners to fetch higher return on investment” Sajan says.

All homes at Viewz will be developed as smart homes with sustainable features. The project boasts energy-efficient automatic lights, water conservation systems, and an environmentally friendly and futuristic design with an LED lighting façade.

Danube Properties offers homeowners a 10-year Golden Visa – especially those who qualify as per the investment criteria – subject to government approval.

Bling: Soon, live in studio apartment with private pool in Dubai

Leading real estate developer Danube Properties on Tuesday launched its latest Dh550 million second twin-tower residential project Elitz at Cityscape Dubai.

Located in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) opposite the Circle Mall, the developer is collecting letters of intent, and the sale is expected to begin on December 10, 2022.

Comprising of 550 units, Elitz includes studios, one-bed, two-bed and three-bedroom apartments.

“The best part about the apartments is that there is a swimming pool in most of the apartments. We also introduced the ‘Presidential Studio’ which comes with a swimming pool, and there are around 25 units of these. [They also have] indoor pools, outdoor infinity pools, basketball and kids areas and many other amenities,” said Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman, Danube Group.

Studios start from Dh550,000, with one bedroom from Dh1 million and two bedrooms from Dh1.4 million.

“We have Indian actors Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash invested in this project. There are many more Bollywood celebrities who have shown interest [in buying] a home in Elitz. It’s because people want to settle in Dubai, thanks to its safety, lifestyle, ease of doing business, Golden Visa and much more,” he said.

Like its previous projects, the Danube chairman expects this to be sold out on the first day. “Property buyers showing interest before December 10, will get their apartment fully furnished,” he said.

The developer launched six projects this year, the highest number since its inception, and plans to launch another six next year. It has delivered 12 projects so far and two more will be delivered next year.

The developer expects to close the year with Dh2 billion in sales and expects to surpass next year.

Dubai real estate market continues to ride high on strong investor confidence

Investor confidence in Dubai real estate remains very strong despite volatility in different parts of the world that could increase recessionary pressures elsewhere. The launch of the increased number of new real estate projects in recent months reflects growing investor confidence in Dubai’s residential property market.

This is also reflected in the increased number of real estate and land transactions across the emirate – which is way higher than the last year’s figures. The total value of 67,000 land and property sale and mortgage transactions recorded a 75.43% growth reaching AED180 billion in the first 9 months of 2022, compared to AED102.6 billion in the corresponding period last year. At this rate, the overall land and property transactions are going to create another record year for the real estate sector in Dubai.

Considered the best-performing quarter in the history of Dubai’s real estate sector, the value of real estate sales reached AED70 billion, confirming quarterly growth of 18% and 64.5% growth compared to Q3 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, 22 residential projects were completed consisting of more than 5,380 units.

Dubai real estate and Danube

If we look at our own activities at Danube Properties, we launched 14 projects in 7.5 years till the end of 2021. In the first 11 months of this year, we launched five new projects – a record year for us as well. Interestingly, all the first four projects were sold out at launch. This happened when property prices are going up even in off-plan properties. This once again, demonstrates that there are more property buyers in the emirate this year than before.

The UAE economy last year recorded a growth of 3.8%. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its latest report, said, the UAE economy will record a 6% growth this year, making it one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

“Economic growth has been robust this year, led by a strong rebound in tourism, construction, and activity related to the Dubai World Expo, as well as higher oil production in line with the OPEC+ production agreements. Overall, GDP growth is projected to reach above 6% in 2022, improving from 3.8% in 2021,” the IMF report issued on November 21, 2022, said.

“Inflation has risen with global trends and is expected to average just over 5% this year. Fiscal and external surpluses have increased further, benefiting from the higher oil prices as well as the removal of the temporary Covid-crisis-related fiscal support to businesses and households as the pandemic has gradually waned. Increased global uncertainty led to larger financial inflows, contributing to rapid real estate price growth in some segments.”

Looking ahead, the report says, the UAE economic outlook remains positive, supported by domestic activity. “We expect non-hydrocarbon growth to be around 4% in 2023 and to accelerate over the medium term with the implementation of ongoing reforms. Inflationary pressures are projected to moderate gradually, including from the impact of tightening financial conditions. Further development of domestic capital markets, including through the issuance of local currency debt by the federal government will also support growth.”

Let us look at some other factors – to understand the market dynamics. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) – the regulator of Dubai’s education sector, said, the enrolment in schools has increased by 4.5% to 326,001 in November, up from 302,262 in April this year. So, nearly 24,000 students joined Dubai’s 216 schools from June 2022 till November 2022 – this shows that new families have moved to Dubai.

There is a direct correlation between school enrolment and property transactions. The question one could ask: is why are more and more people moving to Dubai and the UAE – while the global economic outlook has been downgraded by both the World Bank and the IMF – due to a number of factors including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. However, like in all other global crises, Dubai has benefitted from these crises, as it continues to attract well-off families to the emirate due to the socio-economic and political stability, safety, security, strong global connectivity, world-class infrastructure, and good quality of life.

When there is trouble in any part of the world, wealthy people relocate to Dubai – to live, work and conduct business. So, we have reasons to be hopeful for sustainable economic growth, a strong future, and peaceful life in Dubai. The real estate market can only grow under these circumstances.

OOH Guide 2022: Stop the bus – by Danube’s Rizwan Sajan

There is a saying in business: ‘Put your money where the mouth is.’ In marketing, I say put your money where the consumers’ eyes are – and, more importantly, where they look. Outdoor marketing can be a disaster if billboards, advertisement hoardings or brandings are not put in the right place.

Marketing is both art and science. There are plenty of studies available on consumer behaviour that the manufacturers and marketing agencies of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) rely on when launching a consumer product. If applied properly, marketing creates wonders in the minds of consumers. But the key is to spend money wisely and place your branding where you get the maximum eyeballs.

When Oppo launched its phones, it promoted the phone as ‘The Selfie Expert’, trying to appeal to the millennials or Gen Z , who are more into selfies. Oppo got what it wanted: the market share in South Asia and other parts of the world, at the expense of its rival brands. Now you will see Apple mostly focuses on the quality of photography and videos when promoting the latest iPhone models – as most youngsters use smartphones to create videos for social media, padded up with popular music.

Over the last decade, advertisers have shifted their focus to digital marketing and social media marketing, which has been working very well for consumer products and services. Companies have shrunk their print and outdoor media budgets and have diverted them to digital marketing, more specifically Google, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. We have our share of the budget going to the digital marketing channels as well.

However, our experience shows that outdoor and print media still have the power to not only generate leads but also convert leads to sales. We have seen this with Danube Properties. I believe outdoor media will continue to remain a powerful marketing format.

There are multiple options one could look at when it comes to outdoor marketing and branding – including building roofs, building wraps, moving media such as bus wraps or taxi wraps, standalone billboards on highways and street lampposts, among others. However, we had other ideas. We chose the bus-stands.

We have been lucky with our outdoor marketing strategy. Early enough, we had struck a deal with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of the Government of Dubai to secure a concession for using all the bus stops for outdoor marketing purposes for our products and services – be it Danube Properties, Danube Home, Milano or Casa Milano.

So far, it has worked well. Every time we launch a new project or a product, we promote it through the RTA bus-stands. Not only do commuters gather there, but they are noticed by every passenger in vehicles that pass by the bus-stand.

The response is tremendous. Every time we launch a new project and advertise through RTA bus-stands, the job is almost done. People call our sales team about the new project and ask when we are offering it for sale.

Only last month we opened our latest project, Opalz, for sale. The same day,it was snapped up by property buyers, brokers and investors. All 575 apartments were sold on the same day, and when we held a press conference to announce sales in the evening, it was already sold out. We had to change the press release from the launch of the project, to ‘sold out on launch day’.

This was mostly powered by outdoor marketing, as we didn’t advertise much in other media. The campaign had been running for a few weeks on RTA bus-stands. And it was sold out.

Now, one might think Opalz is an exception. It is not. We launched and sold out four projects in a year, from October 2021 till September 2022. The last three projects were sold out within just a few days of launch, and most buyers have come to buy after seeing them on the RTA bus-stands. The outdoor advertisement on RTA bus-stands has worked better for us then all other media.

The other media that helped build the Danube brand for a long time is the print media – especially from 2003-04 onwards when we started to spend heavily on print media publicity. It is our presence in the daily newspapers and mainstream magazines that made us famous and repositioned our brand in the hearts and minds of people. Before then we had been seen as just a building materials supplier
or a B2B brand.

From 2013, Danube Home came into existence as a B2C brand, and then Danube Properties was born as the real estate developer. Both needed to appeal to consumers. Overall, we found greater value on outdoor and print media (which is unfortunately fast declining).

Dubai: Danube Properties’ third project sold out on first day

Danube Properties sold out its third project – Opalz – on the first day of its launch this year, reflecting growing public trust and investor confidence in the developer and Dubai’s real estate sector.

The Dubai-based developer has delivered 13 of the 17 projects it has launched so far. Opalz is the developer’s 18th project. It has recently awarded construction contracts for Skyz and Pearlz while Gemz is in the tendering process.

“The investors, end-users and brokers have been waiting to book apartments in the new project for some time as the word about Opalz has gone out in the market,” said Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of Danube Group.

“The end-users, investors and brokers have lined up to lay their hands on Opalz since the opening of sales earlier today. As a result, the project has been completely sold out. This sell-out at launch in the current market conditions reflect the customers’ trust in us and their growing confidence in our ability to deliver luxurious properties at affordable price on time, on quality and at a one per cent per month payment plan – which is very rare in this part of the world,” said Sajan.

Indian comedian and actor Kiku Sharda also attended the launch and sold-out announcement of the Dh525 million Opalz project. Sharda is one of many Bollywood celebrities who have invested in Danube Properties’ homes – due to their strong appeal, higher return on investment and faster appreciation of the assets after delivery.

With a built-up area of 800,000 square feet, Opalz will be developed on a 66,985 square feet plot of land in Dubai Science Park opposite Dubai Hills Estate. It has two 19-storeyed towers connected through a podium at the bottom and a sky-bridge on top that hosts penthouses, common-use facilities and offers magnificent views of the neighbourhood on all sides of the building.

When completed in 2025, Opalz will deliver 575 homes including 261 studio apartments, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 69 two-bedroom apartments, 18 condominiums and four penthouses.

With the launch of Opalz, Danube Properties’ currently development portfolio exceeds 8,847 units, with a combined sales value exceeding Dh6.17 billion. It has so far delivered 4,556 units with a combined sales value of Dh3.63 billion – more than half of the entire portfolio value.

The project is located in Dubai Science Park, just 10 minutes from the Mall of the Emirates, 5 minutes from Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and 5 minutes from Miracle Garden. Once built, Opalz will be surrounded by ample community facilities such as schools, hospitals, retail outlets, convenience stores, parks as well as business and recreational facilities including shopping malls, office towers and hotels. It also has great connectivity to Dubai International Airport and the newly opened Al Maktoum International Airport.

Opalz presents two high-rise towers (Tower A and Tower B) comprising Studio, 1 BHK, 2 BHK and 3 BHK Duplex.

The project boasts energy-efficient automatic lights, a water conservation system, environmentally friendly /eco-friendly and the most futuristic building with contemporary design and LED lighting façade. Apart from presenting ultimate luxury and convenience for life through a multitude of features and amenities, all apartments in Opalz are smart homes – owners will have access to home appliances through a smart home system.

The amenities at Opalz include a waiting lounge /atrium/entrance lobby designed by an interior designer with Wi-Fi, a business centre on the ground floor with a personal secretary, a male/female prayer room with ablution, floating cinema over a water body, a doctor on call, kids daycare/nanny on board, electric car charging point, shallow pool, kids pool, toddlers splash pad, jacuzzi, water lounge (In-built gym equipment aquatic gym) and family sitting area/cabanas, BBQ area, among others.
