Sold Out on the First Day of Launch Due to Strong Demand

End-users, brokers and investors snapped up the full inventory of Opalz in a few hours of the opening of sales campaign – as public trust and investor confidence continues to grow in Danube Properties that has also attracted investment from Indian celebrities who have bought homes from Danube Properties

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Danube Properties, the UAE-based affordable housing pioneer and one of the most dynamic and popular private real estate developers in the UAE, said, its latest project Opalz, a twin-tower residential project with sales value exceeding Dh525 million, has been sold out on the first day of launch due to strong demand for Danube Properties homes.

This reflects growing public trust and investor confidence in Danube Properties which has delivered 13 of the 17 projects it has launched so far. Opalz is the developer’s 18th project. It has recently awarded construction contracts for Skyz and Pearlz while Gemz is in the tendering process.

The investors, end-users and brokers have been waiting to book apartments in the new project for some time as the word about Opalz has gone out in the market,” Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, said at a crowded press conference at Danube Properties head office in Dubai.

The end-users, investors and brokers have lined up to lay their hands on Opalz since the opening of sales earlier today. As a result, the project has been completely sold out. This sell-out at launch in the current market conditions reflect the customers’ trust in us and their growing confidence in our ability to deliver luxurious properties at affordable price on time, on quality and at 1 percent per month payment plan – which is very rare in this part of the world.”

Indian comedian and actor Kiku Sharda graced the Opalz launch – one of the most successful project launch events in the history of Dubai’s real estate sector. Kiku Sharda is one of many Bollywood celebrities who have invested in Danube Properties’ homes – due to their strong appeal, higher return on investment and faster appreciation of the assets after delivery.

The launch of Opalz comes at a time when demand for affordable home is very strong. This is our fourth project launch in a year – three of them being sold out fast after launch.”

As a developer, we have so far delivered 13 projects successfully to our happy customers on time and with quality exceeding the home-owners’ expectations. Construction of two projects is going on in full swing while we recently announced the appointment of two contractors for two projects – which reflects our strong and unwavering commitment to timely delivery of our projects.”

Opalz offers the finest blend of aesthetic lifestyles within the city that presents customers with a place like no other. With 1 percent payment plan, we have made home acquisition very easy and pocket-friendly.”

Moreover, the recent government policies, such as the Golden Visa and the 100 per cent ownership rights to expats, have added to the already bullish sentiments in the city’s property market and among the entrepreneurs interested in setting up their businesses here,” he added.

As one of the most successful developers in the UAE with the highest launch-to-delivery ratio, Danube Group has recently delivered Bayz, Glamz, Starz, Resortz and Lawnz while it prepares to deliver two more projects this year. All these projects have been greatly appreciated by those who had bought units in them.

Danube Properties has recently launched two projects Gemz and Pearlz in Al Furjan a vibrant residential development located between Sheikh Zayed Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Both these projects got sold out in minutes of their launch. The end-users and brokers had lined up before the stipulated time and thronged Danube Properties office as soon as it opened. This demonstrates buyers’ confidence in Danube Properties.
