Project Introduction
Dubai-based Danube Group has announced the development of a 55-storey commercial tower named Shahrukhz by Danube, located on Sheikh Zayed Road. The tower, known as Danube Shahrukhz, is a Grade-A commercial building comprising office and retail spaces. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2029.
Architecture and Design
The tower features a modern and striking glass-and-metal façade, designed to become an iconic part of Dubai’s skyline.
- Number of floors: 55 (including 2 basement levels, 8 podium floors, 55 upper floors, and a rooftop).
- Unit sizes: From approximately 500 sq. ft. for standard offices to 11,000 sq. ft. for Prestige units.
- Location and accessibility: Situated in Al Safouh 1, with excellent connectivity to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Metro, and major business hubs such as Dubai Internet City and Media City.
Branding with Shahrukh Khan
This is the first real estate project in Dubai — and possibly beyond — to be named after Shahrukh Khan. A lifetime agreement between Danube and Shahrukh Khan ensures that the name “Shahrukhz” will remain on the tower permanently.
Shahrukh Khan attended the unveiling ceremony, describing it as a great honor, especially in memory of his mother: “My mother would have been very happy… When my kids come, I tell them: ‘Papa ka name is written, look.’”
A symbolic statue of Shahrukh Khan, with open arms in his iconic pose, will also be installed at the tower’s entrance.
Pricing, Taxes, and Investment Terms
- Gross Saleable Value: Approximately ₹4,000 crore (equivalent to several billion AED).
- Starting prices: Commercial units start from $460,000.
- Local pricing: Shell & Core offices start at around AED 2,000,000 on Dubai real estate portals.
- Payment plan: 70/30 (70% during construction, 30% on handover).
- Completion date: Scheduled for June 2029 according to the official project website.
Facilities and Investment Value
The tower will feature over 40 amenities, including professional workspaces, landscaped areas, and modern facilities for businesses and offices.
Its prime location on Sheikh Zayed Road enhances both rental potential and capital appreciation. The Shahrukh Khan branding adds strong marketing appeal, particularly for Indian and international investors seeking a prestigious commercial address.
News Significance and Dubai Real Estate Market Analysis
This project represents an interesting shift in Dubai’s real estate market: the fusion of celebrity branding with commercial real estate, which has been rare until now.
From an investment perspective, Shahrukhz could be a highly attractive option for companies seeking a head office or branch in a landmark, iconic address in Dubai.
For Indian and Asian investors, the tower provides an additional marketing advantage, as the name Shahrukh Khan carries strong brand value. Strategically, the tower is expected to contribute to the growth of Dubai’s commercial sector, particularly along the Sheikh Zayed corridor, one of the city’s most vital business and financial arteries.
