Danube Shahrukhz Residences

Shahrukhz Residences by Danube is an apartment building at Dubai Maritime City. Danube Properties Development is the builder. The project appeared in Dubai regulatory records in September 2026. Two things are clear from the record. First, this is a residential building, not an office block. Second, it is the fifth Danube project on this peninsula, after the three Oceanz towers and Breez. The project is expected to offer studio, 1, 2 & 3 BR apartments from AED 1.65M*, with handover planned for Q2 2030. That matters when you read anything else about the project. The current starting price of AED 1.65M is indicative, while further details such as the complete unit mix and floor count may be updated as the project progresses.

The Shahrukhz name came out of a naming collaboration between Danube Properties and Shah Rukh Khan, announced at a gala evening in Mumbai. It was the first time a Dubai tower took the name of a film actor. No ownership stake has been disclosed. On the Sheikh Zayed Road tower the arrangement was a naming collaboration rather than an investment.

The first building under the name was an office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road. It holds 488 units across more than 1 million sq ft of built up area, priced from AED 2 million, and sold out on the day of its Dubai launch at a development value of AED 2.1 billion. Handover there is set for 2029. At that launch the developer said more projects would follow under the same name. The Maritime City building is the first of them to reach the regulatory record.

No branding arrangement has been confirmed for the Maritime City building itself.

The two buildings share a name and a builder and nothing else. They sell to different buyers, on different sides of the city, with separate pricing and separate exit markets. A booking on one gives no claim on the other.

Danube Properties Development is part of Danube Group. The group started in 1993, set up by Rizwan Sajan as a single building materials trading firm. It has since become one of the most active private developers in the UAE.

On this peninsula, Danube has the deepest presence of any single builder. Here is what it has launched here so far.

Oceanz launched with a development value above AED 2.5 billion. That is four launches on this one peninsula before Shahrukhz Residences.

Read those reference points as a pattern, not a promise. It tells you the shape Danube usually launches in. It does not tell you what this building will cost.

Dubai Maritime City is a 249 hectare reclaimed peninsula, built as a purpose designed home for the maritime industry. One master plan holds industrial, commercial and residential zones side by side. A GCC focused maritime cluster and a working industry precinct take up the busy end of it.

The residential plots along the water have been picked up quickly by developers over the last few years. Most of that supply is off plan. The district has open water frontage on the Arabian Gulf while still being inside the older core of the city, rather than out on the southern edge.

Six points in favour:

• Open water frontage on the Arabian Gulf, so sea facing homes are possible in a way most inland districts cannot match.
• Bur Dubai, DIFC and Downtown Dubai are all a short drive away from a coastal address instead of an outer suburb.
• A large maritime job base next door, which keeps tenant demand steady for leased homes.
• New build stock throughout, so buyers get current specifications instead of ageing towers with rising service costs.
• Flexible off plan instalment structures from known developers, which suit buyers working with a smaller budget.
• Planned zoning that keeps industrial work separate from the residential plots along the water.

Six points to watch:

• No schools inside the community, so the daily school run means leaving the peninsula.
• Limited shopping and entertainment inside the district, with residents relying on malls outside it.
• Active construction across the peninsula as new towers go up, bringing noise and site traffic for several more years.
• Commercial and heavy vehicle movement from port and drydock work, most of all at shift changeover times.
• Limited public transport on the peninsula itself, which makes a car close to essential.
• A quieter street level feel while the community fills up, with fewer cafes and meeting points than older neighbourhoods.

The full amenity list will be confirmed by the developer at sales launch. What is known is the pattern Danube has followed in its other towers here, which is a high amenity count packed onto shared decks. Breez was positioned around waterfront leisure and open sea views.

At district level, residents have Maritime City Park inside the community and beach access at Port De La Mer. The Queen Elizabeth 2 and Dubai Heritage Village are along the next stretch of the Al Shindagha waterfront, with Dubai Museum in the old town behind.

The building is planned for the waterfront peninsula between Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks, close to Bur Dubai. The neighbours are Bur Dubai, La Mer, Al Kifaf and Dubai International Financial Centre, with Downtown Dubai, Culture Village and Healthcare City Phase 2 on the wider ring.

The school catchment around the peninsula includes New Academy School in Bur Dubai on an American curriculum, Dubai Autism Center in Al Satwa, and Ambassador School along with Ambassador International Academy in Al Mankhool, which cover British and Indian curricula.

For shopping, dining and cinema, residents use City Centre Shindagha and BurJuman Mall, with La Mer and Roxy Cinema further along the Jumeirah coast. Golf is at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club and Al Badia Golf Club.
