Danube Says Shahrukhz Residences Penthouses Sold Out on Launch Day. What Did Buyers Pay?

Danube Properties says all the Gauri Khan-designed penthouses at Shahrukhz Residences in Dubai Maritime City sold out on 11 November 2026, the day the developer unveiled the waterfront tower at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena. In its 13 November update, Danube valued the penthouses at about AED 19.6 million each. The developer gave no figures for the number of homes released, their individual contract prices or how many sales had been registered with the Dubai Land Department.

The tower extends the brand associated with Shah Rukh Khan from Danube’s office project on Sheikh Zayed Road to a residential address. Gauri Khan’s role is tied to the penthouse design. For buyers comparing the project with other Dubai waterfront homes, the floor plans, quoted prices and contractual specifications offer a way to judge what the name and design add to the property. Readers who want background on the developer can follow how the Dubai-based Danube Group has prepared for exponential growth.

What was the Shahrukhz Residences penthouse price per square foot?

Dubai brokerage Cresco Real Estate published details from a penthouse price sheet it says it received from Danube on launch day. The sheet shows three layouts on levels 56 and 57. The quoted prices range from AED 15 million to AED 22 million. The sheet leaves open how those figures relate to the AED 19.6 million valuation in Danube’s announcement.

The two five-bedroom layouts differ by just 42 sq ft in total area, yet they use that space differently. The AED 22 million layout gives buyers 194 sq ft more indoors. The AED 20 million layout gives them 152 sq ft more balcony space. That difference matters when deciding how much of the price buys indoor living space and how much buys room to entertain outdoors.

How do the prices compare with other Dubai Maritime City penthouses?

At a similar asking budget, a four-bedroom penthouse at Orise Tower 1 was advertised at AED 20.848 million for 5,325 sq ft, equivalent to AED 3,915 per sq ft on the listed area. The listing describes an unfurnished home with a roof terrace and an outdoor kitchen. It gives no separate figure for interior area.

Two earlier market sales give a reference point for large homes in the same district. IndexDXB reports a four-bedroom sale at Breez by Danube in December 2025 at AED 11.084 million, or AED 3,204 per sq ft. A four-bedroom home at The Anwa by Omniyat sold in March 2025 for AED 11.5 million, or AED 2,832 per sq ft.

The Shahrukhz launch quotes sit above those local benchmarks on the reported areas. Quantifying a premium for the Khan association would require more closely matched sales, with comparable floor levels, views, interior finishes, terrace areas and payment terms. The Orise figure is an asking price, while the Breez and Anwa figures are reported market sales.

What does the Gauri Khan design include?

Danube markets Shahrukhz Residences as fully furnished and credits Gauri Khan with the penthouse design. Cresco reports that a note on the penthouse price sheet makes furniture and electrical equipment subject to the sale and purchase agreement. For a buyer, the room-by-room schedule is where the design commitment becomes concrete. It should identify the furniture, lighting, appliances and materials supplied with the home, any permitted substitutions and who approves the finished interiors.

The same level of detail matters for running costs. A comparison with other waterfront penthouses should account for the approved service charge, the area it applies to, cooling costs, private terrace upkeep and access to amenities. Confirmed unit-level figures are still needed for a reliable annual ownership-cost comparison.

When will Shahrukhz Residences be handed over?

Danube’s project page lists Q4 2029 as its completion target. Third-party summaries citing Dubai Land Department project records list June 2030 for project 4548. Buyers should check the current record in Dubai REST, which our explainer on the Dubai Real Estate Self Transaction platform (REST) walks through. They should also confirm the contractual handover date, extension provisions and payment milestones in the agreement for their unit. Our ultimate guide to investing in off-plan property in Dubai covers these checks in more detail.

Danube advertises a 30/70 payment plan for the apartments, with 30% due during construction and 70% at handover. Penthouse buyers should confirm the schedule for their specific unit. Dubai Land Department also lists a 2% purchaser share of the initial sale registration fee, which would amount to AED 392,000 on an AED 19.6 million purchase before other applicable charges.
