HISTORIC MILESTONE: ‘SHAHRUKHZ BY DANUBE’ AED 2.1 BILLION DEVELOPMENT COMPLETELY SOLD OUT ON LAUNCH DAY
Following the viral unveiling in Mumbai, the much-anticipated ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ – a premium commercial tower named in honour of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan – received a spectacular launch in Dubai in the presence of the iconic actor and Rizwan Sajan, Founder & Chairman of the Danube Group. The highlight of the gala night was when Danube’s head honcho proudly announced a complete sell out of ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’, an AED 2.1 billion development on the launch day.
“The record-breaking success of ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ is a proud moment for us. This overwhelming response is a clear reflection of the project’s unmatched value – from its prime location with seamless access to Dubai’s key destinations, to its world-class amenities and thoughtfully crafted design inspired by global luxury standards. Every element of this tower was envisioned to offer a lifestyle that stands apart, and the demand we witnessed confirms that we have delivered something truly exceptional to the market,” said Rizwan Sajan.
This celebratory launch at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City, was attended by over six thousand guests, including leading personalities from the UAE, top creators, influential business leaders, prominent real estate stakeholders, and global media.
‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ marks a landmark collaboration between two trailblazers who have dominated their respective industries for more than three decades. Set to illuminate the Dubai skyline, this premium commercial tower will rise majestically on the Sheikh Zayed Road, emerging as a prestigious address for global entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries. With more than 35 amenities under one roof, the tower is thoughtfully designed to elevate professional life and seamlessly enhance work–life balance for its occupants.
Expressing his gratitude at the launch, Shah Rukh Khan said: “To see a project of this scale in Dubai carry my name is both an honour and a reminder of how generosity and vision can come together. Dubai has always embraced me with warmth – it’s a city built on courage, imagination, and the belief that nothing is impossible. ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ reflects that very spirit. I’m grateful to be associated with Mr. Rizwan Sajan and Danube, a brand that continually pushes boundaries and inspires people to dream bigger.”
Echoing this sentiment, Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, added: “Shah Rukh Khan and Danube share a parallel journey – both starting modestly more than three decades ago, driven by the belief that passion and persistence can rewrite destinies. Shah Rukh transformed his dreams into a global legacy, a philosophy that resonates deeply with our growth at Danube. ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ brings together these two stories of determination and aspiration, standing as a global testament to vision, value, and the limitless power of dreaming without boundaries.”
Meanwhile, speculation is rife about whether a ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube 2.0’ is in the works. Playing along, Rizwan Sajan teased the crowd with SRK’s classic line: “picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.”
Spanning over 1 million square feet of built-up area, ‘SHAHRUKHZ by Danube’ represents an iconic fusion of luxury, innovation, and star power. The tower sets a new benchmark for premium commercial real estate in Dubai, combining world-class architecture with an address inspired by the King of Bollywood. With units starting at AED 2 million, the development will comprise 488 units, bringing its total valuation to AED 2.1 billion.
The premium business tower boasts more than 35 world-class amenities, including a sky pool, a dedicated helipad for air taxis, valet services, and exclusive executive lounges – each crafted to redefine productivity, prestige, and professional excellence. Its prime location also offers exceptional proximity to Dubai’s most iconic destinations, including the Burj Khalifa, Dubai International Airport, and the Gold Souk.
With its signature 1% monthly payment plan, Danube continues to democratize property ownership in one of the world’s most aspirational cities. The project reaffirms the brand’s commitment to offering luxurious, high-value investments without compromising on accessibility.

PLANRADAR LAUNCHES “CONSTRUCTION SITE TEMPLATES PLAYBOOK” TO HELP GCC PROJECT TEAMS IMPROVE DAILY SITE EXECUTION CONTROL
PlanRadar, a digital platform for construction and real estate project management, has launched the Construction Site Templates Playbook, a new practical guide designed to help project teams strengthen day-to-day execution control through disciplined, repeatable site documentation.
As construction and real estate developments across the GCC increase in scale and complexity, site teams operate under continuous pressure: multiple trades working in parallel, frequent inspections, tight programmes, and strict compliance requirements. In this environment, performance issues often begin with simple breakdowns—unclear scope clarifications, delayed approvals, missed inspections, fragmented safety reporting, and incomplete records—then surface later during audits, handover, or dispute resolution when time and cost impacts are already locked in.
The Construction Site Templates Playbook addresses this challenge by positioning templates not as administrative paperwork, but as operational control points that help teams capture, verify, and act on information consistently across the project lifecycle. The playbook consolidates the most essential site templates into five execution pillars:
- Construction & Commercial Control (scope clarifications, inspections, approvals, change control)
- Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) (hazard identification, permits to work, incident reporting, compliance records)
- Quality & Inspections (structured verification, defects and non-conformance control, commissioning readiness)
- Progress & Coordination (daily reporting, look-ahead planning, constraint tracking, coordination actions)
- Materials & Logistics (material approvals, delivery inspections, traceable acceptance before installation)
The guide also introduces a practical “Execution Loop”, outlining the sequential stages of planning, executing, inspecting, correcting, and ultimately approving and closing. This approach demonstrates how the templates work together as a unified, disciplined system that enhances accountability, ensures traceability, and accelerates on-site decision-making.
“Successful delivery depends on more than planning—it depends on execution discipline,” said Ibrahim Imam, CEO and Co-Founder of PlanRadar “When clarifications, inspections, approvals, and corrective actions are captured consistently and tied to the right locations and evidence, site teams reduce ambiguity, protect quality, strengthen compliance, and improve handover readiness. This playbook is designed to make those controls practical and repeatable on every project.”
While the playbook can be applied in manual environments, it also highlights how structured digital workflows strengthen template usage by improving ownership, visibility, and audit readiness. By digitising templates, site records become time-stamped, traceable, and location-linked—reducing common challenges such as missing paperwork, delayed approvals, duplicated records, and unclear responsibility.
The Construction Site Templates Playbook is available in English and Arabic and is intended for developers, consultants, main contractors, subcontractors, and site teams involved in construction and real estate delivery across the GCC.
