Bayz by Danube Business Bay: 463-Apartment Guide (2026)
Marasi Drive, Business Bay, Dubai
  • Resale asks from $194,690

Description

Bayz by Danube Business Bay is a completed residential tower in Business Bay, Dubai, built by Danube Properties and described by the developer as holding 463 apartments from studios to three-bedroom units. This guide sets out what the developer publishes about Bayz by Danube Business Bay, what resale listings and Dubai Land Department (DLD) registrations show, where the sources disagree and what the buyer of a ready apartment can check.

Prices are in dirhams with US dollars in brackets at 3.6725 dirhams per dollar, and prices and rules are stated as of 5 November 2026. The developer lists the tower as sold out and publishes no price list, so every apartment price below is a dated asking price or a registered sale reported by a third party.

Overview of Bayz by Danube Business Bay

The developer’s project page at danubeproperties.com describes Bayz as a Business Bay project with 463 apartments in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom layouts, 7 retail spaces on the ground floor and freehold ownership. Its summary panel shows the starting price as “sold out”, the completion field as “completed” and the payment plan as “no payment plan”. A frequently-asked-questions block on the same page states that construction was completed in September 2021. The page prints no floor count, no unit sizes and no price list.

Other facts come from third parties. The property portal Bayut gives 32 floors and a completion year of 2021, while news coverage from 2017 and 2018 gave 29 storeys and 456 apartments. The brokerage fäm Properties and the brokerage AiGents Realty publish unit-size ranges, resale asks and DLD-registered transactions, which are used in sections 2 and 3 and attributed each time. Where these sources differ from each other or from the developer, this guide shows both figures with the source and date rather than choosing one.

The name matters for searching: Bayz is the original tower, and the developer has since launched two taller towers in the same district, Bayz 101 and Bayz 102. They are different buildings with different completion years and prices, and section 9 compares them with the original tower.

Unit types and sizes: what is published and what is not

The developer names four layouts and prints no area for any of them. Areas therefore come from portals, which read them from floor plans or from DLD records. Bayut gives covered-area ranges for each type, fäm Properties lists the same four types with slightly different bounds and counts ten layouts across the building, and AiGents Realty prints recent registered sales at 408 and 468 sq ft for studios.

The three sets agree closely, and the small differences (a studio minimum of 412 sq ft at fäm Properties against 413 sq ft at Bayut, or 1,141 to 1,148 sq ft for two-bedroom units against 1,145 to 1,150 sq ft) look like rounding of the same floor plans. Metric figures in the table are calculated from the square-foot values at 0.092903 square metres per square foot.

Unit type Covered area, Bayut (sq ft) Area, fäm Properties (sq ft) Calculated m² (Bayut range) Notes
Studio 413 to 473 412 to 472; registered sales at 407 and 408 38.4 to 43.9 Two layouts at fäm Properties; AiGents sale records show 408 and 468 sq ft
One-bedroom 551 to 881 551 to 881; layouts of 551, 787, 817, 854 and 881 51.2 to 81.9 Five layouts listed at fäm Properties
Two-bedroom 1,145 to 1,150 1,141 to 1,148; one ask at 1,124 106.4 to 106.8 A November 2026 ask shows 1,124 sq ft, below both ranges
Three-bedroom about 1,365 1,365 126.8 AiGents Realty’s text says up to about 1,600 sq ft, which neither the developer nor the other two sources support

Three practical points follow from the table. First, the largest size that appears in more than one source is 1,365 sq ft, and the 1,600 sq ft figure on one portal page is a single, unexplained outlier. Second, a listing that shows 1,124 sq ft for a two-bedroom unit sits below the printed ranges, which is a reason to compare the advertised area with the area recorded for the unit rather than assume a typing error.

Third, a studio of 407 sq ft is about 37.8 m², and price per square foot is the usual way to compare studios of slightly different areas, as the next section does.

The size that counts for most legal purposes is the one recorded in the Real Property Register. Under Article 25 of Dubai Law No. 6 of 2019 on jointly owned real property, a unit’s share of the service charges follows the ratio of its area to the whole property, and the area used is the one recorded in the register (Dubai Legislation Portal). A buyer can therefore check three things in writing before paying a deposit:

  1. the area on the title deed or the DLD record for the exact unit number, compared with the area in the advertisement;
  2. whether the balcony is counted inside the stated area, because the DLD service charge index notes that balcony area is charged at 0.25% of the suite area for invoices issued after 2019;
  3. the unit’s floor, view and orientation, which the portals report only in listing text;
  4. the furniture and fittings included in the price, as an itemised list, because launch-period statements described the apartments as furnished while the developer’s current page lists kitchens, tiles, bathroom fixtures and furniture finishes without an inventory;
  5. whether the unit is vacant or let, and the end date and rent of any tenancy contract.

Prices quoted in the market for Bayz by Danube Business Bay

The developer’s page shows Bayz as sold out and prints no starting price, so there is no developer price for Bayz by Danube Business Bay to quote. The prices below come from three kinds of source: launch-period announcements, current resale asks on portals and brokerage sites, and sale and rental registrations that fäm Properties and AiGents Realty report from DLD records. None of them is a developer price list, and none is an offer. Asking prices are what sellers or agents want, registered sales are what buyers and sellers recorded, and the two can differ.

Launch-period prices

A 12 September 2017 report in the Gulf Daily News, attributed to a developer statement and credited to the TradeArabia News Service, said studios in the then 29-storey tower were priced at AED 650,000 ($176,991) with a monthly payment of AED 6,490 ($1,767), and that 340 of the 456 apartments, about 75%, had been sold in the four months since the launch on 14 May 2017 (Gulf Daily News).

The monthly figure is consistent with a plan of 1% of the price per month: 6,490 divided by 0.01 is 649,000, close to the AED 650,000 ($176,991) studio price. A December 2018 report by Construction Business News Middle East repeated the 1% plan from AED 6,490 ($1,767) a month (Construction Business News Middle East). These are 2017 and 2018 figures for off-plan sales and say nothing about the price of a resale studio in 2026.

Resale asks seen in November 2026

AiGents Realty’s page for the tower, read on 5 November 2026, counts 71 units listed for resale and gives the lowest ask for each type from live marketplace listings in November 2026: studios from AED 715,000 ($194,690) across 37 listings, one-bedroom units from AED 1,030,000 ($280,463) across 23 listings and two-bedroom units from AED 1,830,000 ($498,298) across 11 listings (AiGents Realty). On the same day fäm Properties’ page for the tower showed three listings for sale, shown in the table with the price per square foot calculated by dividing the ask by the advertised area (fäm Properties).

Bayz by Danube Business Bay: ask seen on 5 November 2026 Advertised area (sq ft) Asking price AED per sq ft (calculated)
Studio 407 AED 780,000 ($212,389) 1,916
Studio 407 AED 740,000 ($201,498) 1,818
Two-bedroom 1,124 AED 1,950,000 ($530,973) 1,735

The arithmetic is 780,000 divided by 407 for the first studio, 740,000 divided by 407 for the second and 1,950,000 divided by 1,124 for the two-bedroom unit. The two studio asks differ by AED 40,000 ($10,892) for the same advertised area, which is the kind of spread that floor, view, furnishing and condition can explain, but the listings give no reason. The same page showed one rental ask, covered in the rental section below.

Sales registered with the Dubai Land Department

Registered sales are the better guide to what buyers have paid. The fäm Properties page lists the most recent registered sales in the tower, all of them studios, between 18 September and 29 October 2026. The table gives the price per square foot as printed on the page next to a figure calculated here from the rounded area; the two differ by a few dirhams because the page uses unrounded areas.

Registration date Type Area (sq ft) Price AED per sq ft as printed AED per sq ft calculated
29 Oct 2026 Studio 408 AED 690,000 ($187,883) 1,692 1,691
28 Oct 2026 Studio 407 AED 820,800 ($223,499) 2,017 2,017
27 Oct 2026 Studio 407 AED 760,000 ($206,943) 1,865 1,867
8 Oct 2026 Studio 407 AED 720,000 ($196,052) 1,767 1,769
18 Sep 2026 Studio 408 AED 710,000 ($193,329) 1,742 1,740

The range in these five sales is AED 690,000 ($187,883) to AED 820,800 ($223,499), a difference of AED 130,800 ($35,616), and the printed price per square foot runs from 1,692 to 2,017. AiGents Realty’s page lists eight earlier registered studio sales between 23 March and 8 June 2026, shown below with the same two columns.

Registration date Area (sq ft) Price AED per sq ft as printed AED per sq ft calculated
8 Jun 2026 408 AED 750,000 ($204,221) 1,840 1,838
8 May 2026 408 AED 700,000 ($190,606) 1,717 1,716
8 May 2026 408 AED 800,000 ($217,835) 1,963 1,961
5 May 2026 468 AED 680,000 ($185,160) 1,452 1,453
22 Apr 2026 408 AED 740,000 ($201,498) 1,816 1,814
16 Apr 2026 408 AED 850,000 ($231,450) 2,086 2,083
15 Apr 2026 408 AED 750,000 ($204,221) 1,839 1,838
23 Mar 2026 408 AED 800,000 ($217,835) 1,963 1,961

Those eight sales range from AED 680,000 ($185,160) for a 468 sq ft studio to AED 850,000 ($231,450) for a 408 sq ft studio, and the printed price per square foot runs from 1,452 to 2,086. AiGents Realty prints two different DLD medians for the tower, AED 1,840 ($501) per square foot over the 12 months to June 2026 in one place and AED 1,925 ($524) per square foot in another, so neither median is relied on here.

Among the seven 408 sq ft studios in that table, prices run from AED 700,000 ($190,606) to AED 850,000 ($231,450), a difference of AED 150,000 ($40,844) for the same area; the page does not give floor, view or furnishing, which are the usual reasons for such a spread.

Rents registered in October and early November 2026

fäm Properties’ page showed one rental ask on 5 November 2026, AED 54,000 ($14,704) a year for a furnished 407 sq ft studio. It also lists 25 rental contracts registered in the tower between 7 October and 2 November 2026. Fourteen are 12-month studio contracts at AED 48,000 ($13,070) to AED 60,000 ($16,338) a year. Seven are 12-month one-bedroom contracts at AED 65,000 ($17,699) to AED 85,000 ($23,145) a year, and one further one-bedroom contract runs for six months at AED 42,000 ($11,436).

Three are 12-month two-bedroom contracts at AED 80,000 ($21,784), AED 87,000 ($23,690) and AED 100,000 ($27,229). These are contract values reported by a brokerage; they are not an index, and they do not show vacancy, costs or the rent a particular unit would achieve.

Payment plan wording

The developer’s Bayz page says there is no payment plan for the tower, while another part of the same site promotes a 1% monthly plan for its projects in general. AiGents Realty’s page prints a 20% down payment, 40% during construction and 40% on handover plan and labels it a developer plan dated January 2026, which does not fit a completed, sold-out building.

For a resale purchase the relevant terms are those in the sale and purchase agreement with the seller, and any instalment arrangement has to be agreed with the seller or a lender, not taken from the developer’s general marketing.

Location of Bayz by Danube Business Bay: Marasi Drive and the Dubai Water Canal

Business Bay is a freehold mixed-use district beside Downtown Dubai, according to Bayut, with commercial buildings and residential towers; Wikipedia describes it as a commercial, residential and mixed-use district (Wikipedia: Business Bay). The developer’s map query for the tower reads “Bayz By Danube Properties – Marasi Drive”, and Bayut also places the tower on Marasi Drive. A December 2018 trade report described the plot as overlooking Al Khail Road, so both roads are close to the building.

The developer gives approximate travel times from the tower: 8 minutes to Business Bay metro station, 4 minutes to Al Khail Road, 10 minutes to Downtown Dubai, 10 minutes to the Dubai Water Canal, 10 minutes to Dubai Frame and 20 minutes to Dubai International Airport. It does not say whether the times are by car or on foot, or at what hour. Bayut says Business Bay metro station is an 8-minute drive from the building, which suggests the developer’s time is also a drive.

Business Bay is a station on the Red Line of the Dubai Metro and opened on 15 October 2010, according to Wikipedia.

To test the stated times, the distances below were calculated from the map point stored on this site’s listing, 25.191357 N, 55.266954 E, using the public OSRM routing service on 5 November 2026. OpenStreetMap places that point on Burj Khalifa Street in Business Bay, about 0.4 km from a Marasi Drive segment (calculated), so it is an approximate location of the tower rather than a surveyed one. OSRM road times assume free-flowing traffic and a car, so they are shorter than a typical peak-hour trip, and straight-line distances are calculated with the haversine formula. All figures are indicative.

Place (from the listing map point) Developer’s stated time Straight line (km) Road distance and OSRM time Source of the place
Business Bay metro station 8 minutes 0.66 1.31 km, 2.9 minutes Wikipedia coordinates 25.19127 N, 55.26041 E
Burj Khalifa (Downtown Dubai) 10 minutes to Downtown 0.96 2.87 km, 5.5 minutes OpenStreetMap way 446646206
The Dubai Mall Not stated; Bayut gives 9 to 12 minutes by car for three landmarks 1.36 3.35 km, 7.2 minutes OpenStreetMap relation 18195959
Dubai International Financial Centre Not stated 2.86 4.65 km, 7.7 minutes OpenStreetMap relation 18471688
Dubai Frame 10 minutes 5.95 8.42 km, 10.3 minutes OpenStreetMap search result
Dubai International Airport, Terminal 1 20 minutes to the airport 10.77 15.41 km, 15.9 minutes OpenStreetMap way 98425196

The calculated road time to the Dubai Frame (10.3 minutes) matches the developer’s 10 minutes. The calculated times to the metro station, Downtown Dubai and the airport are shorter than the developer’s, which is expected if the developer allows for traffic, parking or a walk and OSRM does not. The metro station is about 0.66 km from the map point in a straight line and 1.31 km by road; whether a direct footpath exists is not established by these sources.

Bayut’s building guide lists, for the surroundings, a 5-minute walk to two bus stops (served by routes 26, F14, F19A and X22 according to Bayut), supermarkets within a 7-minute drive, a nursery following the British Early Years Foundation Stage framework 9 minutes away by car, an American curriculum school within 8 minutes and an Indian curriculum school within 10 minutes. Those are portal descriptions with their own assumptions, not official catchment information, and anyone who needs a school place or a medical service should check availability with the institution itself.

The tower: launch history, status, finishes and amenities

Different sources describe the tower at different dates, and the descriptions do not always match. The table lines up what each source says and when, and the paragraphs after it explain the differences.

Date Source What it says about Bayz
14 May 2017 Gulf Daily News, 12 September 2017 Launched on this date; 29-storey tower; 456 residential units; studios at AED 650,000 ($176,991) with 1% monthly payment plan; 340 apartments sold; completion scheduled for 2019
1 May 2017 fäm Properties project page Gives 1 May 2017 as the launch date and 3 May 2021 as the handover date
12 December 2018 Construction Business News Middle East Main construction contract of AED 190 million ($51,735,875) awarded to RAQ Construction LLC; project value AED 450 million ($122,532,335); 456 furnished apartments (studio, one- and two-bedroom); 29 storeys; delivery scheduled for 2021
2021 Danube Properties, our journey page Lists “Completed Bayz” among its 2021 entries
September 2021 Danube Properties, Bayz page FAQ Construction completed in September 2021
Q2 2021 AiGents Realty Completion date given as Q2 2021; units 463 from the DLD register
10 July 2023 Danube Properties news item The chairman says the company has already delivered Bayz, which he calls one of its key projects in Business Bay
5 November 2026 Danube Properties, Bayz page Completed; sold out; 463 apartments; no payment plan; 7 ground-floor retail spaces

Completion and launch dates

The completion date has three versions: a 2019 target in the 2017 launch coverage, a 2021 target in the December 2018 coverage and a completed date that the developer’s FAQ gives as September 2021. fäm Properties prints a handover of 3 May 2021 and AiGents Realty prints Q2 2021, both from portal data rather than a completion certificate. A construction-completion month and a handover-to-owners date can legitimately differ, but none of the sources explains the gap.

The launch date also differs by two weeks between the Gulf Daily News report, which attributes 14 May 2017 to the developer, and fäm Properties, which gives 1 May 2017. This guide uses the developer’s September 2021 for construction completion and treats the other dates as reported by their sources.

Height, units and layouts

The 2017 and 2018 reports describe a 29-storey tower with 456 apartments in studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts. Bayut now gives 32 floors, the developer gives 463 apartments including three-bedroom units and AiGents Realty prints 463 from the DLD register. None of the sources explains whether the extra seven units, the added layout type or the extra three floors reflect a design change after the launch, a different way of counting podium and mechanical levels or a data difference between portals.

A buyer who needs an exact floor count or unit list can obtain it from the building’s management or the DLD record for the project rather than from a portal.

Finishes and furnishing

The 2017 statement said the apartments came fully furnished with marble flooring in the living and dining area, a modular kitchen, Spanish tiles and a convertible sofa that folds into a wall bed, and the 2018 report repeated that the apartments were fully furnished. The developer’s current FAQ lists modular kitchens, Spanish tiles, Italian bathroom fixtures and wood-grain furniture finishes.

The two lists overlap on kitchens and Spanish tiles but differ on marble, and the current page does not say which furniture, if any, a unit includes. Resale units may have been furnished, re-furnished or sold empty, so the furniture list belongs in the sale contract, as section 2 notes.

Amenities

The developer’s page names a rooftop pool, a party hall that converts to a children’s play area, a barbecue deck, a gym, a sauna, a steam room, shared community areas, a conference hall and a grand lobby, and its image gallery tags an indoor gym and kids’ play area. Bayut adds covered parking, high-speed lifts, security and maintenance staff, a concierge service, landscaped gardens, a swimming pool with cabana seating, salons on the ground floor and a meditation space it calls a zen zone.

The developer’s FAQ also describes the retail space as 7 units on the ground floor. Which amenities are open, how access is managed and what the building’s rules allow are matters for the management company and the owners’ committee, not for a portal.

Buying a ready apartment in Dubai: steps and costs

The tower is a completed building, so a purchase there is a resale between two private parties, not a sale from the developer’s price list. The steps below follow the DLD’s published procedure for a registered sale of a unit in a freehold area, and they are the same for any ready apartment in Dubai. The detail of each step, including the documents the parties hold, is in the guides on this site on the full cost of buying in Dubai and handover, snagging and the title deed.

Step What happens Source
1. Agree terms Buyer and seller agree the price, the date and what is included, and the seller’s agent shows a valid advertising permit DLD Madmoun announcement
2. Check the title deed The title deed number, year and property type can be validated on the DLD service; the owner can be validated at the same time DLD title deed verification
3. Developer no-objection certificate An e-NOC from the developer is required in freehold areas and is obtained through the Dubai REST app DLD property sale registration
4. Service-charge position Unpaid service charges are a lien on the unit and block a sale until paid (Article 32 of Law No. 6 of 2019) Dubai Legislation Portal
5. Registration At a registered trustee centre, with Emirates ID or a passport for non-resident foreigners, or online through Dubai Now where both parties hold a UAE ID DLD Buy or Sell via Dubai Now
6. Fees and title deed Registration fees, title deed fee and service partner fee are paid and the new title deed is issued DLD property sale registration

Fees on a worked example

The DLD’s sale registration page lists a fee of 2% of the sale value for the seller and 2% for the buyer, AED 250 ($68) for the title deed, a further AED 250 ($68) listed for villas and apartments, AED 10 ($3) each for the knowledge and innovation fees, and a service partner fee of AED 4,000 ($1,089) plus VAT where the sale value is AED 500,000 ($136,147) or more (AED 2,000 ($545) plus VAT below that).

The u.ae government portal gives the VAT rate as 5% (UAE Government portal: taxation). The example below applies those figures to a sale at AED 750,000 ($204,221), which lies inside the range of the registered studio sales in section 3, and it assumes, as an illustration, that one party pays the whole 4%. In practice the parties agree who pays, and the DLD page shows the 2% and 2% split.

Item Calculation Amount
Registration fee, 4% 750,000 × 4% AED 30,000 ($8,169)
Title deed As listed AED 250 ($68)
Villa and apartment fee As listed AED 250 ($68)
Knowledge and innovation fees 10 + 10 AED 20 ($5)
Service partner fee Sale value above AED 500,000 ($136,147) AED 4,000 ($1,089)
VAT on the service partner fee 4,000 × 5% AED 200 ($54)
Total of listed charges 30,000 + 250 + 250 + 20 + 4,000 + 200 AED 34,720 ($9,454)

The total of AED 34,720 ($9,454) is about 4.63% of the example price. If the registration fee is split equally, each party’s share of the 4% is AED 15,000 ($4,084), and the fixed charges follow whatever the parties agree. The DLD pages do not set a broker’s commission, which is agreed in the brokerage contract, and the developer sets the amount of the no-objection certificate fee, if any, in its own terms; neither is included in the table.

The DLD’s frequently asked questions say payments can be made by certified bank cheque, credit card, Noqodi wallet or cash (DLD FAQ). The fees are those on the DLD pages on 5 November 2026 and can change.

A buyer using a mortgage faces additional registration steps and fees that the DLD sets in separate services, and a sale of a unit that is itself mortgaged is processed under a separate DLD service. The guide to selling property in Dubai describes the seller’s side, including the settlement of an existing mortgage.

Ownership, service charges, permits and due diligence

Most risks in a resale purchase come from the unit and its paperwork, not from the building. The table lists the checks that follow from the DLD pages and the law cited above, with the place where each is done.

Check Why it matters Where
Title deed and owner Confirms the seller is the registered owner and the deed is genuine DLD title deed verification
Service charge for the unit Approved by RERA and shown by project, usage and year; unpaid sums are a lien that blocks a sale DLD service charge index
Arrears and Mollak account Mollak is the RERA system that records service-charge invoices and payments for jointly owned property Mollak
Developer e-NOC Required before the DLD registers a resale in a freehold area DLD property sale registration
Advertising permit A QR code on an advertisement links to the permit data and shows whether the property is sold or let DLD Madmoun
Unit area The area in the register sets the service-charge share Law No. 6 of 2019, Article 25
Mortgage on the unit A mortgaged unit is sold under a separate DLD procedure that involves the lender DLD, separate service for the sale of a mortgaged property
Tenancy A tenant’s contract and rent affect vacant possession and the price Dubai REST

Tenure and ownership

The developer’s FAQ states that Bayz offers freehold ownership, and Bayut lists freehold as the tenure. The DLD’s frequently asked questions state that foreigners can own property in freehold areas, so the title category of the specific unit should still be read in the title deed and the sale agreement. The UAE country page and the guide on buyer protection in Dubai set out the general framework.

Service charges

Service charges for a jointly owned building are annual charges on owners for management, operation, maintenance and repair, defined in Article 2 of Law No. 6 of 2019. The management entity cannot collect them without RERA’s prior approval, and RERA cannot approve a budget unless a RERA-recognised audit firm has audited it (Article 27). The DLD service charge index shows the approved rate when the user selects the project name, the usage type and the year, and it states that the rate excludes arrears.

Portals and listings print different per-square-foot service-charge figures for Bayz, so none is repeated here: the index entry is the one to use, and the figure for a unit is the rate multiplied by the unit’s registered area. The guide on Dubai service charges works through the multiplication with examples.

The law also gives the management entity a lien on each unit for unpaid charges and says a unit cannot be sold until they are paid (Article 32), so a buyer should ask the seller for a clearance showing no arrears at the time of transfer.

Permits, escrow history and tax

Advertising of property in Dubai needs a permit. The DLD’s advertisement permit service issues an e-certificate to the applicant, and the Madmoun service, announced on 18 April 2023, adds a QR code to each approved permit so that anyone can scan an advertisement and check its authorised details (DLD advertisement permit).

Off-plan sales in Dubai are held in a separate escrow account for each project under Law No. 8 of 2007, which requires the escrow agent to retain 5% of the account after the completion certificate and release it one year after units are registered to purchasers (Dubai Legislation Portal). Those rules concern the developer’s original sales; a resale buyer pays through the registration process described in section 6.

On tax, the u.ae portal says the UAE does not levy income tax on individuals and charges VAT at 5%; the guide on tax on Dubai property for foreign owners covers rules that depend on the owner’s home country.

Residence rules and the price of a Bayz studio

The UAE government portal lists the Golden visa categories. For investors in public investments or real estate it gives a minimum capital of AED 2 ($1) million ($544,588) and states the duration as 10 years for public investments and 5 years for real estate investments; it describes the requirement as property ownership or a contribution to an establishment paying at least AED 250,000 ($68,074) a year in taxes (UAE Government portal: Golden visa, page updated 28 July 2026).

The page does not itemise how a property is valued, whether several properties can be added together or how a mortgage is treated, so those questions go to the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security or the DLD. Our own Golden visa guide discusses the rules in more detail and should be read against the official page.

The arithmetic for a Bayz unit is simple. The recent registered studio sales in section 3 run from AED 680,000 ($185,160) to AED 850,000 ($231,450), and the lowest ask for a two-bedroom unit is AED 1,830,000 ($498,298). A single unit at these prices is below AED 2,000,000 ($544,588). Three studios at AED 750,000 ($204,221) would total AED 2,250,000 ($612,662), but the official page does not say that separate units are added together, so that sum is arithmetic and not a statement of eligibility. Whether any unit qualifies depends on the facts and on the authority’s assessment on the day.

How Bayz by Danube Business Bay compares with Bayz 101 and Bayz 102

Danube Properties has launched two towers in Business Bay that carry the Bayz name and are still under construction. The table sets them beside the original tower using each project page, read on 5 November 2026. The pages are marketing pages and contain internal differences, which the table notes.

Project Status and completion (developer) Apartments (developer) Starting price (developer) Page on this site
Bayz (original tower) Completed; construction completed September 2021 463 Sold out; none published This page
Bayz 101 Completion June 2028 (summary panel and FAQ); 101 levels 1,346 AED 1,175,000 ($319,946) in the summary panel; the FAQ gives studios from around AED 1.2 million ($326,753), one-bedroom from AED 2.05 million ($558,203) Not among our listings
Bayz 102 Summary panel June 2029; the FAQ says estimated completion December 2028; 102 levels 956 AED 2,400,000 ($653,506) in the summary panel; the FAQ gives studios from around AED 1.27 million ($345,813) and one-bedroom executive apartments from AED 2.23 million ($607,216) Bayz 102 by Danube

The comparison is between a finished building with a resale market and two buildings that are contracts for future delivery. A buyer of an apartment in the original tower receives a title deed on transfer, while a buyer in either tower signs with the developer, pays under a payment plan into a project escrow account and waits for completion; the off-plan buyer’s guide covers that route.

Sizes, layouts and fittings also differ: both towers market a wider range of apartment types than Bayz, including four-bedroom units, and the developer’s pages for them mention features such as a helipad at Bayz 102 that the original tower does not have. Because the pages disagree internally on completion dates and starting prices, a reader choosing between a ready unit and a future one should ask the developer to confirm both in writing.

Danube Properties

Danube Properties describes Danube Group, its parent, as having grown from a single store in Deira, Dubai, about 30 years ago, with more than 3,500 staff and operations in nine countries across the Middle East and Asia (Danube Properties: about us). According to the same page, the group’s other businesses include building materials and home furniture retail, and Danube Properties is its property development arm. The page also makes comparative claims about the company’s standing, which this guide does not repeat.

The developer’s home page, read on 5 November 2026, says Danube Properties has launched 32 projects, delivered 16 and has another 16 under construction, and it lists Bayz among the delivered projects (Danube Properties home page). Its journey page lists Dreamz as the first completed project in 2017, followed by Glitz 1 and Glitz 2 in 2017 and Glitz 3 in 2018, and it shows Miraclz and Bayz among the 2021 completions (Danube Properties: our journey).

On 10 July 2023 the developer published a news item about buying a Business Bay plot, reported at AED 190,000,000 ($51,735,875), in which its chairman said the company had already delivered Bayz (Danube Properties news, 10 July 2023).

The developer’s payment model is a plan of 1% of the price per month, which its home page describes as running at 0% interest for up to 80 months; the 2017 and 2018 coverage of Bayz already described a 1% monthly scheme, as section 3 shows. The Danube Properties profile on this site lists the developer’s projects and the status of each, and the Dubai developers hub compares it with the other developers profiled here. The statements above are the developer’s own and are attributed to it; this guide has not audited its delivery record.

Frequently asked questions

What is Bayz by Danube Business Bay?

It is a completed residential tower in Business Bay built by Danube Properties. The developer’s page describes 463 apartments in studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, 7 retail spaces on the ground floor, freehold ownership and construction completed in September 2021. Launch-period coverage in 2017 and 2018 described a 29-storey tower with 456 apartments, while Bayut now gives 32 floors. The developer shows the tower as sold out, so units change hands on the resale market.

Is the tower off-plan or ready?

The tower is ready. The developer’s page marks it as completed and its FAQ gives September 2021 as the month construction was completed, and the developer’s journey page lists Bayz among its 2021 completions. Two portals print a handover of Q2 2021 or 3 May 2021, which differs from the developer’s month. Bayz 101 and Bayz 102 are separate towers that the developer shows as under construction, with completion dates in 2028 and 2029.

How many apartments does the tower have?

The developer’s page says 463 apartments, and AiGents Realty also prints 463 and attributes it to the DLD register. The 2017 and 2018 launch coverage said 456 apartments, and it listed studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts without three-bedroom units. None of the sources explains the difference of seven units or the added layout, so a buyer who needs an exact unit list should ask the building’s management or check the DLD project record.

What do apartments in Bayz by Danube Business Bay cost?

The developer publishes no price. On 5 November 2026 AiGents Realty showed the lowest resale asks as studios from AED 715,000 ($194,690), one-bedroom units from AED 1,030,000 ($280,463) and two-bedroom units from AED 1,830,000 ($498,298). Studio sales registered between 18 September and 29 October 2026 and reported by fäm Properties ran from AED 690,000 ($187,883) to AED 820,800 ($223,499). These are asking prices and third-party reports of DLD records, not developer prices, and an individual unit depends on floor, condition and furnishing.

What sizes are the apartments?

The developer prints no sizes. Bayut gives covered areas of 413 to 473 sq ft for studios, 551 to 881 sq ft for one-bedroom units, 1,145 to 1,150 sq ft for two-bedroom units and about 1,365 sq ft for three-bedroom units. Those are about 38.4 to 43.9 m², 51.2 to 81.9 m², 106.4 to 106.8 m² and 126.8 m². fäm Properties gives similar ranges, and registered studio sales show 407, 408 and 468 sq ft. The area in the Real Property Register decides the service-charge share.

Can foreigners buy in Bayz by Danube Business Bay?

The developer’s FAQ states that the tower is freehold, and the DLD’s frequently asked questions state that foreigners can own property in freehold areas. A resale needs a developer no-objection certificate in a freehold area, registration at a trustee centre or through Dubai Now and payment of the DLD fees. The title category of the individual unit appears in the title deed, so it should be read there and in the sale agreement.

What does it cost to buy a resale apartment?

The DLD lists a registration fee of 4% of the sale value (2% each for seller and buyer), AED 250 ($68) for the title deed, a further AED 250 ($68) listed for villas and apartments, AED 10 ($3) each for the knowledge and innovation fees and a service partner fee of AED 4,000 ($1,089) plus VAT at AED 500,000 ($136,147) or more. On a AED 750,000 ($204,221) sale the listed charges total AED 34,720 ($9,454) if one party pays all of them. Broker commission and any developer certificate fee are extra.

Does a unit qualify for the Golden visa?

The UAE government portal gives a minimum capital of AED 2 ($1) million ($544,588) for the investor category, with 5 years for real estate investments. Recent registered studio prices are well below that figure, and the portal does not say how several properties are valued or added together. Whether any unit qualifies is for the authorities to decide on the facts, so the official page and the authority’s assessment are the sources to use.

How are service charges set and where can I check them?

Under Law No. 6 of 2019 the management entity proposes a budget, an audit firm recognised by RERA audits it and RERA approves it before charges can be collected. The DLD service charge index shows the approved rate when the user selects the project, the usage type and the year, and a unit’s share follows its registered area. Unpaid charges are a lien on the unit and block a sale until they are paid, so a buyer should ask for a clearance.

How far is Bayz by Danube Business Bay from the metro and the airport?

The developer states 8 minutes to Business Bay metro station and 20 minutes to Dubai International Airport. OSRM calculations from the listing’s map point on 5 November 2026 gave 1.31 km by road to the metro station (2.9 minutes at free flow) and 15.41 km to Terminal 1 (15.9 minutes). The straight-line distances are 0.66 km and 10.77 km. The map point is approximate, and road times in peak traffic are longer than free-flow times.
