In a monumental announcement that fuses global celebrity power with architectural ambition, Danube Properties has unveiled ‘Shahrukhz by Danube’, a premium 55-storey commercial tower in Dubai named after the Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan. This unique collaboration, a global first in commercial real estate, symbolizes the shared philosophies of two icons—Shah Rukh Khan and Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group—whose journeys have spanned 33 years of relentless ambition and success.
The unveiling took place at a spectacular gala evening at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai, drawing hundreds of business leaders, investors, and media personalities in what became one of the most celebrated real estate launches of the year.
A Symbol of Shared Ambition
Rising majestically on Sheikh Zayed Road, the tower is set to become one of Dubai’s most prestigious business landmarks, designed as a global address for empire builders, innovators, and visionaries. The project celebrates 33 years of excellence for both the actor and the Danube Group, reflecting their parallel paths from humble beginnings to global influence.
Speaking at the launch, Shah Rukh Khan shared his deep connection to the city: “It is humbling and deeply touching to have a landmark in Dubai carry my name. Dubai has always been a special place for me—a city that celebrates dreams, ambition, and possibility. SHAHRUKHZ by Danube is a symbol of how far belief and hard work can take you. I’m honoured to be associated with Danube, a brand that mirrors the same spirit of aspiration and excellence.”.
Rizwan Sajan echoed this sentiment, framing the tower as a bridge between two self-made legacies. “Both Shah Rukh Khan and Danube began their journeys 33 years ago with a shared dream- to create impact through passion and perseverance. Shah Rukh Khan turned dreams into destiny, a philosophy that mirrors our journey at Danube. ‘Shahrukhz by Danube’ unites these two stories of humble beginnings and relentless ambition- standing tall as a global symbol of vision, value, and the power of dreaming big.” The developer has committed to ensuring the tower permanently carries the actor’s name, establishing a precedent in global real estate.
Redefining Premium Commercial Real Estate
The Shahrukhz by Danube tower is an iconic, Grade-A commercial development spanning over 1 million square feet of built-up area. Positioned at a prime location on Sheikh Zayed Road, the tower offers unmatched connectivity to key Dubai landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa and Dubai International Airport, providing maximum visibility and value for businesses. The tower’s design embraces a modern “hanging tower” concept and will feature premium finishes and flexible Shell & Core office units, ranging from 450 sq. ft. to 11,000 sq. ft., ready to be fully customized.
The project, which carries a gross saleable value of approximately ₹4,000 crore (over $480 million), aims to redefine corporate prestige. Prices for the commercial units start at just $475,000 / INR 4.2 Crores. Completion is targeted for Q2 2029.
The developer has ensured the tower will offer an unparalleled luxury work environment with over 40 world-class amenities. These features go beyond standard office facilities and include a sky pool, exclusive business lounges, a grand double-height lobby, and a helipad for air taxis as the city moves toward aerial mobility. Adding a unique cultural touch, the entrance will feature a life-size statue of Shah Rukh Khan in his iconic arms-outstretched pose, poised to become a landmark selfie point.
