Dubai’s property market is set for another shake-up with the unveiling of Aspirz by Danube, a new 40-story tower in Dubai Sports City that blends office ownership and residential living under one roof.
The project marks a first for the emirate: Danube is extending its much-publicised 1% monthly payment plan—traditionally offered on homes—into the commercial sector. For the first time, entrepreneurs and small businesses can look at owning their own offices in Dubai with the same ease that has made the scheme popular among homebuyers.
Spread across a 37,000 sq. ft. site, Aspirz will house 698 units. The lower floors are earmarked for 266 offices, with layouts ranging from compact suites to larger open spaces, while the upper levels are dedicated to 432 hotel apartments. On the residential side, buyers will find a mix of studios, one- and two-bedrooms, and flexible units that can be adapted to suit changing needs—for example, expanding a one-bedroom into a three-bedroom.
The development is heavy on amenities, keeping Danube’s formula of mixing lifestyle with investment. More than 30 facilities are promised, from rooftop pools and gyms to wellness zones, outdoor cinemas, and even a podcast studio aimed at the city’s growing creator economy. The idea is to encourage both productivity and community in one vertical neighbourhood.
Completion is scheduled for the last quarter of 2028. For Danube, which has carved out a niche by combining affordability with distinctive design, Aspirz signals a move into a wider arena—where commercial buyers now have a seat at the table alongside residential investors.
