Bayz 101 by Danube

Bayz 101 is a 101-level residential tower by Danube Properties in Business Bay, near Sheikh Zayed Road. Danube lists 1,346 homes, from studios to four-bedroom apartments, sold furnished, with some units offering private pools. Property Finder records sales opening in January 2024 and construction starting in April 2024, and it reported progress of 8.3% in December 2025. Danube gives completion as June 2028.

Danube's headline starting price was AED 1.175 million on 13 November 2026, and its FAQ says studios start at around AED 1.2 million, one-bedroom flats at AED 2.05 million and private-pool apartments run from AED 2.1 million to AED 6.2 million. Property Finder lists a studio layout of 374 sq ft, one-bedroom flats of 670 to 941 sq ft, two-bedroom flats of 964 to 1,276 sq ft from AED 3.3 million, three-bedroom flats of 1,116 to 1,607 sq ft from AED 4.8 million and a four-bedroom layout of 1,822 sq ft from AED 5.8 million. The jump in price from studio to one-bedroom is large, so compare the price per square foot of each layout.

Property Finder lists the plan as 10% down, 63% in eight instalments during construction, 1% on handover and 26% after handover. Danube's page calls it a 30/60 plan, and in August 2026 Danube announced a zero-down-payment offer covering Bayz 101 and Bayz 102. Ask whether that offer still applies and what it changes in the later instalments.

The amenity list is one of Danube's longest, with a bowling centre, a rooftop tennis court, a sky observation deck, a library, a content studio and an outdoor cinema on top of the pools and gyms. Danube's drive times put the Business Bay metro station one minute away, Burj Khalifa two minutes, Dubai Mall three and City Walk and the Museum of the Future five.

Bayz 101 suits a buyer who wants a central, furnished apartment with completion due in 2028 and a share of the price deferred until after handover.

What to weigh: 1,346 homes in one building means a lot of identical stock on the resale and rental market at handover, and the twin Bayz 102 adds another 956 next door. Very tall towers carry long lift waits and higher service charges, which Danube has not published. Business Bay continues to launch new towers.
