Danube Properties completes Dh300 million ‘Royal Magical’ Resortz project

Danube Properties, the UAE-based affordable housing pioneer and one of the most dynamic and popular private real estate developers in the UAE, announces the completion of Resortz, a Dh300 million luxury resorts-style property that hosts 444 residential and retail units.

Once hand-over formalities are completed, homeowners could start moving into their luxury homes in the new year to start a new life full of luxury.

Located in Arjan – the growing neighborhood close to the famous tourism attraction Miracle Gardens – Resortz is a low-rise luxury residential community that was offered to the market at an affordable price. Resortz was launched in 2017 which was sold out a few weeks after its launch.

Resortz is Danube Properties seventh project to have been completed on time, making it one of the best performing real estate developers in the UAE.

“This is the first project completion announcement in the new year, and we started 2020 with a very positive note. This is our third project to have completed in just seven months – a feat difficult to match,” Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, said.

“In the year of the Expo 2020, we believe the demand for homes will soar. Many homes will be offered to tourists as holiday homes through different online channels and our investors and buyers stand to gain from the rising demand this year.

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going. We are strong enough to navigate out of any critical situation.

“I am also happy to say that we have sold out all our projects to buyers and investors who believe in us and in our capability to deliver quality and luxury homes at an affordable price and with the most convenient payment plan that makes home acquisition more attractive.”

Resortz Design Elements

Resortz was developed in the form of a five-star luxury resort with green landscaped community space, open swimming pool, water features, outdoor catering, barbecue area and children’s play area, so that the residents feel proud of the facilities on ground.

While planning Resortz, one of the key objectives was to make the project stand out from the rest. Its designers took the design inspiration from the neo-classical architecture of the 18^th century Europe. The openness it offers creates a community by itself.

A dome was created– a very neo-classical architectural feature that one would not see in this part of the world – that makes it unique in many ways.

Atif Rahman, Director and Partner of Danube Properties, says, “Resortz raises the bar in the residential property development and urban lifestyle. It is a manifestation of Danube Properties’ core values of making customers happy. With Resortz, we wanted to offer a royal lifestyle to our customers at an affordable price.

“For the rest, it is a message that homes don’t need to be expensive to be luxury. Luxury could be affordable. We as a developer, has demonstrated it time and again and Resortz is the ultimate reflection of that.

“As a customer-centric organization, we always want to find out how to maximize customer happiness. We have spent more than Dh3 million in upgradation and add-on features to offer a better customer experience to make our residents truly happy.

“Installation of a separate lift for people of determination is a rare phenomenon in this part of the world. However, we are one of the first developers to have installed it in Resortz – which has many new features that the homeowners would be proud of.

“We have added Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) technology in common shower, vanity, aluminum glass panel doors, shower fittings in common area washrooms, GRC features added on boundary wall with vintage English theme lights, upgraded footpath interlock to decorative concrete flooring while we have also installed the most advanced CCTV and access control system that offers maximum security and comfort to residents.

“All these have been done to offer the best experience to our customers and their happiness is what we aim for.”

While designing the project, the architects took into consideration every aspect of the project – the intricacy of the finer elements of the neo-classical architecture – be it windows, doors and the arches – so that it stands out as an example among so many projects.

The columns were chosen very carefully from several historic references, such as the historic Piazza del Duomo in Florence, Italy. All these features bode well for the design philosophy that the designers wanted to pursue for the project to create a character for it.

In terms of adding the local Emirati feature, the designers have added ghaf tree in the community area – that will constantly remind the residents of the region where they belong. Collectively, all these features make Resortz an exceptional landmark piece of architecture for the UAE’s real estate sector.

Resortz also comes with additional lights inside each home and balcony, internal signage with classic English theme – that gives the project a very classic ambience, in line with the overall architectural design theme. It also has a telephone booth and a post box that reflect classical theme. Resortz comes with several flowerpots in the landscape area that adds to the beauty and elegance of a luxurious lifestyle.

Amid the crowded residential projects – that look almost similar in design – Resortz offers freshness and will have a passer-by stand and stare at the property.

Resorts Comes with Pleasant Surprises

Many of these upgradations and added features will come as pleasant surprises to residents who would not anticipate these important features.

The properties come with exceptional facilities and amenities, including a complete health club, swimming pool, tennis court, car parking, retail outlets and green landscaped podium above car park that converts into a green park for residents to spend time outdoors.
