Overview

A 50-storey Danube tower of 1,250 apartments in JVC District 14, launched in 2026 with studios to three-bedroom homes from AED 1.1 million and completion due in 2029.

Serenz is a 50-storey residential tower by Danube Properties in District 14 of Jumeirah Village Circle. Danube launched it in February 2026, and press coverage at the time quoted prices from AED 850,000. With 1,250 apartments, it is one of the larger single buildings in a district that already holds a great deal of apartment stock.

The mix is studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Danube does not publish sizes. On 13 November 2026 its project page gave a starting price of AED 1.1 million, higher than the launch figures. Property Finder still showed the launch prices (studios from AED 840,000, one-bedroom flats from AED 1.2 million, two-bedroom flats from AED 1.7 million and three-bedroom flats from AED 2.3 million) but labelled developer stock as sold out, with resale units on offer. Danube's own page did not say sold out, as it does for its finished-selling towers, so stock may be limited to later releases. Ask Danube what is actually available before planning around a price.

The amenities follow the Serenz name: a serenity pool, garden and fountain, an aqua park and a spa, along with the long list of sports courts, gyms, children's facilities and a business centre that Danube puts in most of its towers. Danube gives completion as 2029; Property Finder says September 2029.

Property Finder lists the payment plan as 10% down, 60% during construction and 30% after handover. Danube's page calls it a 30/60 plan and also promotes its 1% monthly plan. A post-handover element lets an investor collect rent before the last payments fall due, but check the post-handover period and instalment size.

Serenz suits a buyer who wants an off-plan apartment in a central, well-established district at an entry price below the coastal areas, and who is relying on the payment plan rather than paying cash up front.

What to weigh: JVC has a large pipeline of similar towers, which limits rental growth and puts pressure on resale prices, and Serenz alone adds 1,250 homes. Prices have risen since launch, so a resale unit from an early buyer may undercut a new unit from Danube. Unit sizes, service charges and whether the homes come furnished are not published.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Serenz by DanubeAED 1,100,000
DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 44,000
Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020
Estimated total to completeAED 1,145,020about £235K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.

Danube Properties profile and track record

Adviser's view

What works

  • Established district: JVC already has schools, shops and road access, so there is less waiting for infrastructure.
  • Lower entry prices than the coastal districts, with Danube's headline at AED 1.1 million.
  • Property Finder lists a post-handover element in the plan, which spreads the final 30% beyond completion.
  • Danube says it had delivered 20 of its 40 launched projects by January 2026.

What to weigh

  • Property Finder showed developer stock as sold out on 13 November 2026, while Danube's page still gave a starting price; confirm what is available.
  • 1,250 apartments in one tower, in a district with heavy apartment supply.
  • Prices have risen since the February 2026 launch, so early buyers' resale units may be cheaper.
  • Unit sizes, service charges and furnishing are not published.
