What happened at the launch
Danube Properties officially unveiled Shahrukhz Residences by Danube on the evening of Wednesday 11 November 2026 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Filmmaker Karan Johar hosted the event, with Shah Rukh Khan, interior designer Gauri Khan, Danube Group founder and chairman Rizwan Sajan and managing director Adel Sajan on stage.
The headline came the next day: Danube announced that all of the penthouses designed by Gauri Khan, each valued at around INR 50 crore, had sold out on launch day. Speaking at the event, Rizwan Sajan also said the project had already received around 500 Expressions of Interest before the launch.
Danube has not published how many apartments the tower will have or the total value of the project, so treat any figures you see quoted elsewhere with care.
Shahrukhz by Danube vs Shahrukhz Residences
The names are easy to mix up. Shahrukhz by Danube is the first project: a 55-storey commercial office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, launched in 2025, which Danube reported sold out on launch day with sales of about AED 2.1 billion. Shahrukhz Residences by Danube is the new residential tower, and it is the one launched this week.

| Location | Sheikh Zayed Road | Dubai Maritime City, on the water |
| Height | 55 storeys | 60 storeys (reported) |

The homes and prices
Apartments come fully furnished, from studios to 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms, with skyline and sea views depending on the floor. Launch prices start from AED 1.65M for a studio.

Payment plan and completion
The plan is 30/70: 10% within 21 days of booking, 10% after 2 months, 5% after 10 months and 5% after 18 months, then 70% on handover. Completion is expected by the end of 2029 (December 2029 in Danube's sales material). The 4% Dubai Land Department fee is paid on top at booking. The full schedule is in my Shahrukhz Residences price and payment plan guide.
The Longevity Lounge and 40+ amenities
Danube highlighted more than 40 lifestyle amenities, led by what it calls a first-of-its-kind Longevity Lounge with cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a red-light therapy bed and an infrared sauna.
Is it still worth looking at?
The penthouses are gone, but they were always a small part of the tower. The apartments are where most buyers and investors will look, and three things stand out: a waterfront address about 10 minutes' drive from Downtown Dubai, furnished units that can be rented soon after handover without fit-out costs, and a plan that keeps 70% of the price with you until completion. Units at AED 2M and above can also qualify for the UAE Golden Visa.
Weigh the other side too. Prices carry a premium for the brand, service charges for a tower with 40+ amenities will be above average, and Dubai Maritime City has several new towers on the way, so the view and floor you pick matter. Launch-day demand for penthouses does not tell you what resale prices will be in 2029.
How to book now
After launch, units are released in batches and the best views go first. To book you need a passport copy (plus Emirates ID and visa if you live in the UAE) and the booking amount. Send me your budget and the unit type you want, and I'll tell you what is still open and hold the right unit if it fits.
