Gemz by Danube: Studios to Duplexes in Al Furjan, Starting at AED 543K
Danube Properties in an Established Western Community
Gemz by Danube is a residential development by Danube Properties in Al Furjan. The project spans a wide unit mix, from compact studios to full-size 3-bedroom duplexes. Al Furjan is a built-out mid-market residential community in Dubai's western corridor, with its own retail, parks, and metro connectivity in place.
What Al Furjan Delivers Day to Day
Al Furjan sits between Discovery Gardens and Jebel Ali Village. The Route 2020 Metro extension brought an Al Furjan station to the area, making car-free access to Ibn Battuta Mall and onward connections to the rest of the city practical. Dubai Marina is roughly 20 minutes by road. The community's internal roads are oriented around residents rather than through-traffic, giving it a quieter character than denser parts of the city.
AED 543K to AED 1.9M: A Spread Worth Breaking Down
The range here covers multiple buyer profiles. At the low end, AED 543,200 buys a studio at 409 sq ft — the smallest unit type and the lowest entry point in the project. 1-bedroom apartments start at AED 939,250 across six layouts ranging from 744 to 1,385 sq ft. That layout variety at a single price point is useful: a buyer wanting a compact 1-bed for yield and a buyer wanting a more livable 1-bed are both served.
2-bedroom apartments begin at AED 1,562,352 from 1,156 sq ft. 3-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,924,771 with sizes up to 1,872 sq ft. The 3-bedroom duplexes start at the same AED 1,924,771 but reach up to 2,252 sq ft — meaning a buyer at the top of the range can choose between a larger duplex footprint and a conventional apartment at the same price.
Apartments and Duplexes: Two Different Living Formats
Studios and 1-bedroom units suit investors and individual buyers, with the studio offering the lowest entry cost. The six 1-bedroom layout options suggest Danube sized for both compact and spacious preferences at the same price.
The duplexes are a distinct product — vertical two-floor layouts rather than flat plans. 2-bedroom duplexes run from 1,583 to 1,668 sq ft. 3-bedroom duplexes reach 2,102 to 2,252 sq ft. Both duplex categories start at the same price as their apartment counterparts, with the difference landing in the layout format and available floor area.

Private pool and private gym alongside shared versions indicate that certain unit types carry exclusive-access facilities rather than only communal ones. The Vastu-compliant designation targets buyers from South Asian backgrounds for whom this standard is a real consideration. Pets allowed removes a barrier that disqualifies a large share of Dubai buildings for animal owners. Taken together, the 28-item list — including concierge, maid service, and on-site restaurants — reflects a development targeting residents who expect a managed, service-oriented living environment.
Expected Handover: June 2025
Construction at Gemz started in April 2024, with an original expected completion date of June 2025. That date has passed, making this a likely-delivered or near-delivered project rather than a long-horizon off-plan purchase.
Getting In for 10% Down
| Phase | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 49% |
| At handover | 1% |
| Post-handover | 40% |
The 10% down payment is a low starting threshold. Only 60% of the total purchase price falls due before and at handover, with 40% scheduled for the post-handover period. That structure limits upfront capital exposure during construction and defers a substantial share of payments to a period when the property can generate rental income.
