Shahrukhz Residences by Danube at a glance
Danube Properties launched Shahrukhz Residences at Dubai Maritime City on 7 October 2026. It is a fully furnished waterfront residential tower built with Shah Rukh Khan, and Danube is positioning it as the world’s first celebrity named residential tower. Apartments start at AED 1.65 million. The payment plan is 30 percent during construction and 70 percent on handover. The penthouse collection is designed by Gauri Khan.

What the 30 and 70 payment plan means for your money
Most Dubai off plan launches ask for 60 to 80 percent of the price while the tower is being built. Shahrukhz Residences asks for 30 percent. The remaining 70 percent falls due at handover. This changes the purchase in two ways and you should be clear on both before you reserve.
Your cash exposure during construction is low. On a AED 1.65 million apartment you are committing around AED 495,000 across the build period instead of roughly AED 1.15 million on a standard plan. That suits a buyer who wants to keep capital working elsewhere in the meantime.
The handover payment is the large one. If you plan to mortgage the balance then the finance has to be live for the handover window and not for today. Dubai mortgage pre approvals typically stay valid for 60 to 90 days. A handover several years out means you are arranging that finance much later, at rates and at a valuation nobody can quote you now. Ask your bank how they treat off plan handover financing before you sign. This is the single point buyers on low construction plans most often get caught by.
The amenity list is the unusual part
Danube has published more than 40 lifestyle amenities for the tower. The one with no real comparison in Dubai is the Longevity Lounge. It carries cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a red light therapy bed and an infrared sauna. Recovery and longevity facilities of that kind normally sit in a paid clinic rather than inside a residential building.
The rest of the published amenity set includes an exclusive King’s Club on the rooftop, access to a private yacht for residents, aqua themed play areas, sports facilities, a kids daycare, and cycling and jogging tracks.
One practical note. A long amenity list raises the service charge, and Danube has not published the service charge for this tower yet. A 40 plus amenity building with clinical grade recovery equipment will not carry a low one. Ask for the projected figure in writing before you commit, because it is a running cost you carry for as long as you own the unit.
The Gauri Khan penthouses
The penthouse tier is designed by Gauri Khan. Danube has not released how many penthouses there are, their sizes or their pricing. We will publish each figure here as the developer confirms it. If you want the penthouse pricing the day it is released then contact us and we will call you before the general release.
Dubai Maritime City as a location
Dubai Maritime City is a man made peninsula sitting between Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks. It is reached off Sheikh Rashid Road and it is a short drive from Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai International Airport. The district has moved from a marine industrial zone into a waterfront residential address over the last few years.
Two things are worth knowing as a buyer. The waterfront frontage here is genuine sea frontage rather than a view across a road, which is not true of every project marketed as waterfront in Dubai. And the district is still filling in, so you are buying into a location being built around you rather than a finished one. That is where the upside sits and it is also the risk.
Danube already holds a large position on this peninsula. Read our Dubai Maritime City area guide for the full picture, and compare the other Danube towers on the same peninsula: Breeze by Danube, Oceanz 1, Oceanz 2 and Oceanz 3.
This is not the Shahrukhz office tower
Danube has two buildings carrying the Shahrukhz name and most listings online blur them together. Read this before you compare prices anywhere.
Shahrukhz by Danube is the commercial tower. Danube’s own published material puts it at 55 storeys on Sheikh Zayed Road with over 1 million square feet of built up area, sold as offices on a 1 percent monthly payment plan. Danube says it sold out on launch day.
Shahrukhz Residences by Danube is this one. A fully furnished residential tower at Dubai Maritime City, starting at AED 1.65 million on a 30 and 70 plan.
Different building. Different district. Different asset class. Different payment structure. If you searched for an apartment and landed on an office listing then that is the reason.
One warning on the office tower. Broker listings place it in several different locations. Some say Al Sufouh and some say Sheikh Zayed Road. Danube’s own material says Sheikh Zayed Road. Always confirm the building and the plot against the developer rather than against a portal listing. See our page on the Shahrukhz by Danube commercial offices if the office tower is what you actually want.
What Danube has not published yet
As of 8 October 2026 Danube has not released the handover date, the total unit count, the bedroom mix, unit sizes, the floor count, the number of penthouses, floor plans, the brochure or the DLD permit number for Shahrukhz Residences.
We are not going to estimate any of them. A handover date or a permit number that no source has published does not belong on a licensed brokerage page. This page gets updated as Danube confirms each figure. If you want them the moment they land then contact Cresco Real Estate and we will send them to you directly.

Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Registered sales of residential units between 30 June 2026 and 18 August 2026. Mortgages and gift transfers are excluded because they are not arms length sales. Sizes are converted from square metres at 10.7639 sq ft per sq m. The entry price shown for this project is our advertised starting price and is not a registered transaction. Community figures are medians across every project in the community, not this project alone. We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.
What actually transacted in Dubai Maritime City
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Dubai Maritime City recorded 1,365 registered rental contracts and 35 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 122 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 2,068 per sqft. That is a gross yield of 5.9% on ready stock in this community.
We use ready sale prices rather than blended prices deliberately. You cannot rent a home that has not been handed over, so an off plan launch price in a yield calculation produces a number that cannot happen.
Registered rents in Dubai Maritime City moved +16% against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads +7.1%. Summer seasonality and smaller samples both sit inside that number, but we publish it rather than quote only the figure that flatters the market.
| Unit type | Contracts registered | Average annual rent (AED) | Rent per sqft (AED) | Change vs 12 months earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 13 | 62,612 | 135 | +3.1% |
| 1 bedroom | 1,296 | 42,786 | 123 | +13% |
| 2 bedroom | 45 | 132,156 | 94 | -4.7% |
| 3 bedroom | 11 | 225,818 | 110 | -5.6% |
| All apartments | 1,365 | 47,396 | 122 | +16% |
