The 30/70 Payment Plan in Dirhams
Danube's schedule:
- 10% within 21 days of booking
- 10% within 60 days of booking
- 10% during construction
- 70% on handover in December 2029
Here's what that means in cash, using the starting price of each unit type (our arithmetic on Danube's figures):
| Unit | First 60 days (20%) | During construction (10%) | At handover (70%) | 4% DLD fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio (AED 1.7M) | AED 340,000 | AED 170,000 | AED 1,190,000 | AED 68,000 |
| 1 Bedroom (from AED 2.6M) | AED 520,000 | AED 260,000 | AED 1,820,000 | AED 104,000 |
| 2 Bedroom Premium (AED 4.25M) | AED 850,000 | AED 425,000 | AED 2,975,000 | AED 170,000 |
| 3 Bedroom Premium (AED 6.5M) | AED 1,300,000 | AED 650,000 | AED 4,550,000 | AED 260,000 |
The key point: 20% falls due within two months of booking, plus the 4% DLD fee when the purchase is registered in Oqood. After that, only 10% is due until completion. For how this compares with other structures, see off-plan payment plans explained.
EOI Amounts
- AED 50,000 for studios and 1-bedrooms
- AED 100,000 for all other units
An EOI reserves your place in the allocation queue before units are formally booked. Ask whether it's refundable and whether it counts towards your first 10% payment before you pay.
The Handover Question Most Buyers Miss
With 70% due at handover, most buyers will need a mortgage in December 2029. On a AED 1.7M studio that's AED 1,190,000.
- UAE residents buying a first home under AED 5M can typically borrow up to 80% of the value (AED 1,360,000 on the studio), which covers it. Above AED 5M, the usual cap for resident expats is 70%.
- Non-resident buyers are typically limited to around 50–60% (AED 850,000–1,020,000 on the studio). That leaves roughly AED 170,000–340,000 to pay in cash at handover on the studio, plus mortgage fees, and the gap grows in proportion on larger units.
Final amounts depend on the bank, your profile and the property's valuation at completion. If you're buying from abroad, read our non-resident mortgage guide before you book.
Golden Visa: Which Units Qualify?
The UAE Golden Visa through property requires at least AED 2,000,000 in property value. The 1-bedroom (from AED 2.6M), 2-bedroom (AED 4.25M) and 3-bedroom (AED 6.5M) units are all above that threshold. A studio at AED 1.7M is AED 300,000 short on its own, unless combined with another property you own. Off-plan property must be registered in Oqood. Full details in our Golden Visa guide.
Location: Dubai Maritime City
Dubai Maritime City is a freehold waterfront district on a peninsula between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, close to Bur Dubai, Al Mina and the Jumeirah coast. Danube's stated travel times:
- 2 minutes to Port Rashid Boat Station
- 3 minutes to Dubai Cruise Terminal 2
- 8 minutes to Dubai World Trade Centre
- 8 minutes to Jumeirah Beach
- 10 minutes to Burj Khalifa
- 15 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB)
Danube also highlights the district's planned lifestyle features, including a shopping mall, sports hub, cable car, sky walk bridge, beach club, beach, waterfront promenade and hospital. The district is still developing, so check what's completed versus planned when you compare it with established areas.
Danube's Track Record in Maritime City
- Oceanz by Danube: a multi-tower residential development whose first tower sold out at launch in September 2023; under construction.
- Breez by Danube: a 60-storey tower launched in September 2025, reported from AED 1.4M on a 1%-per-month plan; under construction.
Compared with Breez's monthly plan, Shahrukhz Residences asks for only 30% before handover, but 20% of that comes in the first 60 days and 70% is left for December 2029: less cash tied up during construction, much more to arrange at completion. See all Danube properties.
Where the Shahrukhz Name Comes From
The name honours Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan. It was first used for Shahrukhz by Danube, a 55-storey office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road that Danube announced in 2025 and reports sold out on launch. Shahrukhz Residences is a separate, residential project in a different location; the two share a name and a developer.
Before You Pay an EOI
- Pay only into Danube's official accounts, never to an individual or an unrelated company. Once the project is registered, instalments go into its escrow account. See how escrow protects off-plan buyers.
- Get the EOI terms in writing: refundability, and whether it's credited against the first 10%.
- Check the ad's Trakheesi permit and the agent's RERA registration. Our RERA and DLD guide shows how.
- See the floor plan and size for your specific unit before booking.
