Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Danube Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/danube) | | Location | [Dubai International Academic City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-academic-city) (Al Rowaiyah 1), Dubai | | Status | launched | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2029 | | Sales launched | 2026-04 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 3,800,000 to AED 5,000,000 (Property Finder listing, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 1,439 | | Home types | 3-bedroom townhouses, 4-bedroom townhouses, 5-bedroom villas | | Total units | 768 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Greenz is a gated community of townhouses and villas by [Danube Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/danube) in [Dubai Academic City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-academic-city), in the Al Rowaiyah 1 sub-community off Emirates Road. It is a change of product for Danube, which has so far built apartment towers. Danube unveiled it in April 2026 as a master community of 768 homes on about 4.9 million sq ft, with roughly 400,000 sq ft given over to amenities and green space, and Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak opened the launch event in May 2026. There are three home types. Three-bedroom townhouses are about 2,350 sq ft by Danube's figures (Property Finder says 2,400 sq ft). Four-bedroom townhouses run from 2,750 to 3,100 sq ft. Five-bedroom homes come as semi-detached villas of about 3,700 sq ft or twin villas of up to about 3,950 sq ft. Danube sells them fully furnished with Dolce Vita furniture. Prices have moved since launch: Danube's April 2026 announcement said AED 3.5 million and up, its FAQ now says AED 3.7 million and the project page's starting-price field said AED 3.8 million on 13 November 2026. Property Finder lists four-bedroom townhouses from AED 4.2 million and five-bedroom villas from AED 5 million. Danube's FAQ sets out its 1% plan clearly here: 20% on booking, then 1% a month for 40 months, with the remaining 40% due after completion in Q4 2029. Property Finder lists a simpler 70% during construction and 30% on handover. The Danube figures take precedence, but get the plan attached to your unit in writing. The amenities are built around five hubs: a beach hub with a lagoon pool, a dancing fountain, a wellness hub, a sports hub with ten courts and a beach clubhouse with a rooftop deck. Danube's drive times put Emirates Road one minute away, the Dubai-Al Ain Road two minutes, Silicon Central Mall ten minutes, Global Village about fifteen and Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport about seventeen to eighteen. Greenz suits a family that wants a new furnished house on a payment plan and can wait until late 2029. At AED 3.7 million or more, homes clear the AED 2 million property threshold for the Golden Visa, as Danube's FAQ points out, subject to the government's rules. What to weigh: this is Danube's first large house community, so its record on apartment towers is only a partial guide. Academic City is on the edge of the city and car-dependent; Danube's own five-minute figure for the metro refers to the Blue Line, which is not yet open. The 40% balance due after completion is a large sum to fund at handover, and service charges for a community with this many facilities are not yet published. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3-bedroom townhouses | Not published | | 2,350 to 2,400 sq ft | 4 | available | | 4-bedroom townhouses | AED 4,200,000 | | 2,750 to 3,100 sq ft | 6 | available | | 5-bedroom villas | AED 5,000,000 | | 3,700 to 3,950 sq ft | 7 | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 1% monthly plan (20/40/40) - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - Monthly instalments: 40% (1% a month for 40 months) - Final payment: 40% (After completion, Q4 2029) Paid before handover: 60%. As described in the FAQ on Danube's Greenz page. The same page's header labels the plan 30/60, which does not match. ### 70/30 - During construction: 70% (During construction) - On handover: 30% (On handover) Paid before handover: 70%. As listed by Property Finder. Danube's own 20/40/40 description takes precedence. ## What works - Rare furnished house product on a long payment plan: 20% down and 1% a month for 40 months, per Danube. - Large homes for the price band, from about 2,350 sq ft for three bedrooms to about 3,950 sq ft for five. - Prices above AED 2 million meet the Golden Visa property threshold, subject to government rules. - Direct access to Emirates Road and the Dubai-Al Ain Road, according to Danube. ## What to weigh - Danube's first large villa and townhouse community, after a history of apartment towers. - The starting price has risen since launch (AED 3.5 million in April 2026, AED 3.8 million on 13 November 2026), and sources disagree. - 40% of the price is due after completion, so plan the mortgage or cash for handover early. - Academic City is car-dependent; the Blue Line metro Danube refers to is not yet open. - Handover is not due until Q4 2029, and service charges are not published. ## Location In Al Rowaiyah 1, Dubai Academic City, near Dubai Silicon Oasis, with access to Emirates Road, the Dubai-Al Ain Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
