Danube Properties has launched BREEZ, a 60-story residential tower in Dubai Maritime City, positioning the project as the tallest residential development in the district. With a scheduled completion date in March 2029, the tower adds momentum to Dubai’s expanding luxury real estate market, which continues to attract global investors despite broader economic uncertainty.
The AED 2 billion ($544 million) project is located on the waterfront between Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks, an area undergoing rapid transformation. Developers say the site offers direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, while Dubai International Airport and Downtown Dubai are within a 15-minute drive. Proximity to key business districts is expected to appeal to professionals and expatriates seeking both convenience and waterfront living.
BREEZ by Danube Dubai will include more than 600 residences, ranging from compact studios to five-bedroom duplex villas. Unit sizes vary from under 500 square feet for studios to more than 3,000 square feet for larger apartments and villas. A variety of layouts, including flexible “convertible” units, are being marketed to buyers who want customizable living spaces.
Prices start at AED 1.3 million for studios, with one-bedroom apartments beginning at AED 1.975 million. At the upper end of the spectrum, four-bedroom residences are priced around AED 10 million, while a limited collection of five-bedroom duplex villas are being offered for approximately AED 30 million. Average pricing places the project in line with prime developments in Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah but below waterfront communities such as Palm Jumeirah, where entry prices are higher.
Payment terms are structured to attract investors. Buyers pay 70% during construction and the remaining 30% in post-handover installments spread over 30 months. An expression-of-interest token of AED 50,000 is required to reserve a unit. Danube has highlighted fully furnished interiors as part of its pre-launch package, a feature intended to reduce upfront costs for buyers.
The tower will feature more than 40 resort-style amenities, including an infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf, a state-of-the-art fitness center, landscaped gardens, a spa, children’s play zones, and retail outlets on the podium levels. Dedicated parking, 24-hour security, and smart-home integration will also be included. Developers say these features are designed to deliver a lifestyle comparable to branded residences, a segment that has seen strong demand in Dubai.
Dubai Maritime City has been gaining traction among investors after years of gradual development. Its location between old Dubai and the new business hubs gives it unique appeal. Analysts note that as infrastructure improves, projects in the area are likely to benefit from rising property values. Data from consultancy CBRE shows Dubai property prices rose 20% year-on-year in 2023, with premium waterfront properties outperforming the wider market.
Danube Properties has a record of launching high-volume residential projects targeting both middle-income and luxury buyers. Its recent projects have been well received due to attractive payment plans and competitive entry pricing. The launch of BREEZ by Danube Dubai signals the company’s intention to strengthen its presence in the higher end of the market, where demand remains resilient despite global financial headwinds.
Market analysts expect BREEZ to draw interest from investors in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Turkish, Indian, and Russian buyers have been among the most active foreign purchasers in Dubai in recent years. For end-users, the location near schools, healthcare facilities, and business hubs may prove decisive. Rental yields in Dubai Maritime City are expected to mirror those of other waterfront communities, with potential returns ranging between 6% and 8% annually.
Construction is scheduled to begin later this year, with Danube targeting handover in the first quarter of 2029. The project is registered with the Dubai Land Department and overseen by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency, ensuring compliance with escrow requirements and construction monitoring.
Industry experts view BREEZ as a sign of confidence in Dubai’s long-term real estate trajectory. Despite rising global interest rates, property demand in the emirate has remained strong, supported by population growth, investor-friendly policies, and its position as a global financial hub. With its combination of pricing flexibility, location, and amenities, BREEZ by Danube Dubai is positioned to capture both investor and end-user demand in the years leading up to its completion.
