Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has expressed his gratitude for getting a commercial tower in Dubai named after him.
Dubai-based Danube Properties, a part of the $2 billion Danube Group, has announced the development of a 55-storey commercial tower on Sheikh Zayed Road that will bear the actor’s name — reportedly the first such tower in the world to be named after an actor.
Shah Rukh shared a post on his X handle and said he is humbled to have his name turn into an “integral part of the cityscape”.
The project marks a landmark collaboration between Danube Group Founder & Chairman Rizwan Sajan and Khan, celebrating 33 years of their respective journeys.
The commercial tower, called ‘Shahrukhz,’ is slated for completion in 2029 and will feature a statue of Shah Rukh Khan in his iconic arms-outstretched pose at the entrance. The A-grade development will span over 1 million sq ft of built-up area, with prices starting at Rs 4 crore.
“The company’s signature 1% payment plan, along with a 10-year Golden Visa, is also being offered to customers,” said founder and chairman of the Dubai-based Danube Group, Rizwan Sajan.
“Commercial unit sizes range from 460 sq ft to 11,000 sq ft. Buyers pay a 20% down payment, followed by monthly installments of 1% of the Rs 4 crore price for six years.” he said.
‘Shahrukhz’ will offer more than 40 world-class amenities, including a sky pool, helipad for air taxis, valet services, and exclusive business lounges. The tower will be located close to key Dubai landmarks, from the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Airport to the Gold Souk.
Shah Rukh Khan was present at the event in Mumbai along with Rizwan Sajan, as they unveiled the property on November 14.
“Both Shah Rukh Khan and Danube began their journeys 33 years ago with a shared dream- to create impact through passion and perseverance. Shah Rukh Khan turned dreams into destiny, a philosophy that mirrors our journey at Danube. ‘Shahrukhz by Danube’ unites these two stories of humble beginnings and relentless ambition- standing tall as a global symbol of vision, value, and the power of dreaming big,” said Rizwan Sajan at the event.
