Shahrukhz Residences by Danube: Shah Rukh Khan’s New Dubai Launch

Shah Rukh Khan and Danube Properties introduce a new residential landmark

Shahrukhz Residences represents the latest collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group.

The partnership previously introduced Shahrukhz by Danube, a commercial development on Sheikh Zayed Road that, according to the developer, sold out on its launch day.

The new project takes the collaboration into the residential market, with a different focus: creating homes that combine modern design, leisure facilities and waterfront surroundings.

Danube is positioning the development as the world's first celebrity-named residential tower, bringing Shah Rukh Khan's name and personal brand into a new property concept.

Unlike the earlier commercial project, Shahrukhz Residences is a residential development located in Dubai Maritime City, with a range of furnished apartments and premium residences.

The launch also reflects the increasing presence of celebrity associations and distinctive lifestyle concepts in Dubai's residential market.

Gauri Khan-designed penthouses add a distinctive touch

One of the most notable aspects of Shahrukhz Residences is the involvement of Gauri Khan, an established interior designer known for her work on luxury residential and hospitality interiors.

Gauri Khan has contributed to the design of the project's signature penthouses, introducing a more personalised approach to the development's premium residences.

The design concept combines refined materials, contemporary furnishings and generous glazing intended to connect interior spaces with the surrounding waterfront.

Across the residential offering, the architectural and interior design incorporates finishes such as marble, bronze detailing, timber textures and carefully selected decorative elements.

The development's signature penthouses are intended to offer a different residential experience from the standard apartment collection, with Gauri Khan's design involvement forming a central part of their identity.

Fully Furnished Apartments in Dubai Maritime City

Shahrukhz Residences is located in Dubai Maritime City, a waterfront district situated between Port Rashid and Dubai's established urban areas.

The development offers fully furnished studios, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, alongside an exclusive penthouse collection. Specific configurations and availability may vary.

Its architecture features expansive glazing, curved balconies and a contemporary façade designed to maximise the connection between the building and its coastal surroundings.

Selected residences are planned to offer sea or skyline views, depending on their orientation and position within the tower.

The project's location is another important consideration for prospective buyers. Dubai Maritime City provides access to key destinations across Dubai, including the Dubai World Trade Centre, Port Rashid and the city's central business districts.

As new residential developments continue to emerge in the area, buyers have an expanding selection of waterfront properties outside Dubai's more established coastal neighbourhoods.

More than 40 amenities designed around wellness and lifestyle

Shahrukhz Residences places considerable emphasis on facilities that extend beyond the apartments themselves.

The development is planned to include more than 40 amenities across dedicated lifestyle, wellness and leisure areas.

A lifestyle deck for recreation and family living

The podium-level Lifestyle Deck is designed to bring together outdoor recreation and spaces for residents of different ages.

Planned facilities include a beach-style lagoon, children's water-play areas, landscaped seating areas and sports facilities for activities such as padel, cricket, basketball and badminton.

These shared spaces aim to provide opportunities for recreation without residents needing to leave the development.

Infinity 33 and the longevity lounge

Wellness is another central element of the project.

At Level 33, the development is planned to feature an infinity pool with views towards the surrounding waterfront, alongside a fitness area and the Longevity Lounge.

The Longevity Lounge will incorporate specialised wellness facilities, including cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red-light therapy and infrared sauna treatments.

These facilities form part of the developer's wider concept of integrating wellness and leisure into everyday residential living.

King's Club and entertainment facilities

The upper levels will introduce additional spaces for relaxation and social activities, including the rooftop King's Club.

Other planned amenities include a private cinema, co-working areas, a golf simulator and spaces for entertainment and social gatherings.

Danube has also announced access to a private yacht as part of the residential lifestyle offering, with usage arrangements subject to the developer's terms.

Together, these features create a development that places significant emphasis on shared experiences and residential amenities.

Shahrukhz Residences prices, payment plan and handover

For buyers considering the development, the announced starting price is AED 1.65 million, with final prices depending on the apartment type, size, floor and availability.

The project has been introduced with a 30/70 payment plan, structured around payments during construction and at completion.

The announced terms include:

• Starting price: AED 1.65 million

• Initial down payment: 10%

• During construction: 30% of the property price in total, including the initial payment

• On handover: 70%

• Expected completion: Q4 2029

The payment structure may be of interest to buyers who prefer a lower proportion of the purchase price to be paid during construction.

However, the substantial balance due at handover makes it important to plan ahead, particularly for buyers intending to use mortgage financing.

Additional purchase costs, including applicable Dubai Land Department fees, should also be considered when calculating the overall investment.

What makes Shahrukhz Residences different from other Dubai off-plan projects?

Dubai's off-plan market offers a wide range of residential developments, but Shahrukhz Residences brings together several characteristics that may appeal to different buyer profiles.

Its association with Shah Rukh Khan gives the development an internationally recognisable identity, while Gauri Khan's involvement adds a design-focused element to the penthouse collection.

The waterfront setting in Dubai Maritime City, fully furnished apartments and extensive amenities contribute to its overall residential proposition.

For end users, the project's lifestyle facilities and location may be important considerations. For investors, the evaluation should also include factors such as purchase price, expected service charges, comparable rental properties and future supply in the surrounding area.

Celebrity branding can contribute to a project's visibility, but it does not independently establish rental returns or future capital appreciation.

Buyers should therefore assess Shahrukhz Residences against their own financial objectives and compare it with other available properties in Dubai.
