Moving to Dubai has long been an enticing dream for many Indians, with its luxurious lifestyle, tax-free living, plentiful malls and beaches, high-end shopping and a busy job market. If you are planning to move to Dubai and have considered buying a home there, here is some good news: Danube Properties has just completed 454 units and pre-completed 426 residences in Glamz, its fifth and sixth residential projects, in record time.

The milestone was marked by a glittering ceremony with laser shows and fireworks. Both projects were launched and sold out in 2016, reflecting the developer's strong commitment to customers. Once the planned handover of 880 units in Starz and Glamz is complete, Danube Properties will have delivered 1,711 homes worth Dh1.69 billion, part of a portfolio of 5,019 residences worth Dh3.82 billion, in less than five years since launching its first project, Dreamz, in June 2014.

Homes With State-of-the-Art Facilities

Built with the latest green and sustainable building technologies, the smart homes in both projects come with modern features including built-in wardrobes and modular furnishings, with upgraded construction materials that are more advanced than those promised at launch.

The 880 homes offer best-in-class amenities, including a fully fitted gym, health club, swimming pool, large reception area, landscaped community spaces and ample parking, all at a very affordable price and with a 1% monthly payment plan.

Excellent Accessibility

Once handed over, residents will enjoy easy access to Dubai's public transport, with a metro station a two-minute walk from Glamz and three minutes from Starz. The Expo 2020 site will be just 7–10 minutes away by metro, and Al Maktoum International Airport 15 minutes from the nearest station.

"As we move closer to the Expo 2020, we see renewed confidence in the UAE real estate market. The complete sell-out of our projects reflects strong investor confidence in not only the Dubai real estate market but also in Danube Properties," says Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group. "Today we are not only delivering homes but delivering promises we made to home buyers who have put their faith in us," he adds.

A Strong Market Performer

The new deliveries follow Danube Properties' best year so far. In 2018, a 78.5% jump in the number of residential units sold lifted its share of off-plan sales to 10.6%, up from 5% in 2017.

According to its annual report, the company sold 1,869 homes last year, 89 of them ready to move into and 1,780 off-plan. Their combined sales value rose 19.26% to Dh978 million, compared with 1,047 units worth Dh820 million in 2017.

Atif Rahman, Director and Partner of Danube Properties, says: "A developer's strength of character and commitment reflects on the quality of construction and the number of project deliveries. Our record of continuous development and timely delivery of properties speaks volumes about our strong commitment to quality, timely delivery and our solid commitment to our home buyers.

"With the launch of Starz in 2016, we pioneered in introducing specially designed modular furniture. This will help the residents maximise the use of available space by converting the living room into a bedroom at night. We remain committed to delivering happy communities with phenomenal value addition. I am confident, buyers of properties in Starz and Glamz will be extremely delighted with the quality of finishing and timely delivery," Rahman concludes.

The completion celebration was attended by Chairman Rizwan Sajan and Atif Rahman, along with officials from the Dubai Land Department and Masdar, including Fahem Al Tamimi of Masdar, and other dignitaries. Danube Properties has so far awarded Dh1.6 billion worth of construction contracts covering 10 of the 12 projects it has launched. In 2018, it completed 358 homes and awarded contracts for a further 926.
