Timez by Danube Dubai Silicon Oasis

Timez by Danube is a 43-floor tower by Danube Properties in Dubai Silicon Oasis, holding an estimated 1,000 apartments from studios to 3 BHK. Studios start at AED 800,000, about Rs 2.06 crore, at roughly 386 sq ft; the 1 BHK starts at AED 1.06 million, the 2 BHK at AED 1.5 million and the 3 BHK, which comes with a private pool, at AED 2 million.

Two things set it apart at this budget. The layouts are convertible — a studio can be turned into a one-bedroom and a one-bedroom into a two-bedroom — and the 3 BHK sits exactly on the AED 2 million Golden Visa line. The plan is 10% on booking, about 59% through construction and 30% over 30 months after handover. Handover reads Q2 2028 on most sources and Q3 2028 on Bayut's building guide. The rest of the emirate is on our page of all Dubai projects we track.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

These are the developer's figures as the portals carry them. The source listing shows no price, so every number below comes from Danube's own page and the portals repeating it.

Dubai Silicon Oasis has a median price of about AED 983 per sq ft in 2026, up from AED 611 in 2020. Timez asks between about AED 1,875 and AED 2,073 per sq ft depending on the unit. That is roughly double the community median, and the highest premium among the Dubai Silicon Oasis towers we cover.

Sizes are published by unit type here, which most towers at this price do not do. Check them against the floor plan with the suite area on it before you sign.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 10% on booking, about 59% through construction and 30% over 30 months after handover. The same plan is also sold as a 70/30 over five years: 70% by handover, then about 1% a month for 30 months. Those published shares add to 99%, which is a brochure rounding rather than a schedule, so take the real one from the SPA.

Add 2% plus VAT in agency commission if you buy through a broker. There is no transfer tax beyond the DLD's 4%, no VAT on a residential sale, and no annual property tax once the title deed is yours.

Service charges are not published for Timez. One Dubai Silicon Oasis building publishes AED 16.9 per sq ft a year; at AED 16 on a 386 sq ft studio that is about AED 6,176 a year, roughly Rs 1.59 lakh, set by the owners' association after handover. More at this budget is on our projects page.

Location and connectivity

Dubai Silicon Oasis is a free zone and a residential community in one. The Authority's headquarters, the free-zone business park, Rochester Institute of Technology Dubai and the Dubai Academic City campuses sit inside or beside it, which keeps tenant demand steady rather than seasonal.

The community sits on the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and the Dubai – Al Ain Road (E66), which gives road access to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain from one corner. No source we checked prints drive times from this tower, so treat a sales agent's minute count as an estimate.

The change worth watching is the RTA's Blue Line Metro, routed through Dubai Silicon Oasis. The announcement alone lifted the community's price per sq ft by 29%, the largest jump recorded in Dubai on that measure. Silicon Central Mall and Dubai Outlet Mall cover retail.

Amenities and specifications

The convertible layout is the specification that matters. The studio can become a one-bedroom and the one-bedroom a two-bedroom, which gives a small unit a second life as a family home or a sharing let. Confirm the conversion detail on the floor plan before booking, because it changes the usable suite area.

Danube quotes more than 40 amenities: an infinity anticurrent pool, a shallow pool, a jacuzzi, a spa, a barbecue area, a gym, an open-air cinema, a play area, party areas and several sports courts. The 3 BHK units carry private pools. Most Danube stock sells furnished or semi-furnished; confirm in writing which applies to your unit, because it changes your handover cost and your first rent. Parking is not itemised anywhere we checked. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Danube Properties is the development arm of the Danube Group, the building-materials business Rizwan Sajan founded in Dubai in 1993; the property arm started in 2014 and made the 1% monthly plan standard at the affordable end of the market.

The record needs care. DLD data shows 20 completed projects and 8,230 units delivered, with three active projects past their announced handover, and the dataHabibi Developer Index scores Danube at 44% delivery reliability, 88th in Dubai. Some broker pages claim 28 completed projects; the DLD's 20 is the number to work from. Against that, Pearlz was handed over six months early and in July 2026 the company announced 11 handovers within 12 months. Its other tower here is Oasiz by Danube.

Timez or Oasiz?

Same developer, same community, different buildings. Oasiz enters at AED 699,000, holds 408 apartments over 38 floors and hands over around Q4 2027; Timez enters at AED 800,000, holds about 1,000 apartments over 43 floors and hands over in mid to late 2028.

Buy Oasiz if you want the cheaper ticket, lower density and rent starting a year earlier. Buy Timez if you want the convertible layout, the deeper amenity deck, or the 3 BHK at AED 2 million, which is the only unit across the two towers that reaches the Golden Visa threshold. A ready alternative in the same community, already tenanted and far cheaper per sq ft, is Binghatti Point.

For Indian buyers

Dubai Silicon Oasis is freehold and open to all nationalities. The Dubai Land Department issues the title deed in your name; while the tower is built the sale is recorded on Oqood and your instalments go into a DLD-approved escrow account named in the SPA. Ask the sales office for the DLD project number and the escrow bank and check both on the Dubai REST app, because neither is published anywhere we looked.

Money leaves India under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme: USD 250,000 per person per financial year, so a couple can move USD 500,000. The entry studio is about USD 218,000 in total, inside one allowance. The 3 BHK at AED 2 million is about USD 545,000 and needs either two people or two financial years, which the 30-month post-handover tail makes easy to arrange. TCS applies above the threshold and is set off against your Indian tax.

There is no annual property tax in the UAE and no tax on the rent there, but India taxes that rent at your slab rate after the standard 30% deduction and taxes the gain when you sell. The community is quoted at 7 to 8.5% gross and at 8.23% in the H1 2026 sales market report, but those returns are earned near AED 983 per sq ft; at AED 2,073 the same rent gives roughly half. One worked example here showed a 9.4% gross studio falling to 6.4% net after service charges, maintenance and a vacant month. On the Golden Visa, the 3 BHK is priced exactly on the AED 2 million line, so the DLD's valuation on the day you apply decides it.

Pros

• Convertible layouts: a studio becomes a one-bedroom, a one-bedroom a two-bedroom.
• The 3 BHK starts at exactly AED 2 million with a private pool, clearing the Golden Visa line.
• 30% of the price falls after handover over 30 months, so a tenant can carry part of the tail.
• More than 40 amenities quoted, including an infinity anticurrent pool, a spa and an open-air cinema.
• Dubai Silicon Oasis yields 7 to 8.5% gross and has the Blue Line Metro routed through it.

Cons

• About AED 2,073 per sq ft on the studio against a community median of about AED 983.
• About 1,000 apartments in one tower reach the rental market in the same quarter.
• Handover in 2028, a year after Danube's other Dubai Silicon Oasis tower.
• Danube's delivery reliability is scored at 44%, with three projects past their announced handover.
• The published payment shares add to 99%, so the real schedule has to come from the SPA.

Who this is for

• Buyers who want one small unit that can grow into a larger one without moving.
• Golden Visa buyers at exactly AED 2 million who want a 3 BHK rather than two small units.
• Investors who can wait to 2028 and want a deep amenity deck helping the unit let.

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who wants rent sooner: handover is a year after Danube's other tower here.
• Yield-first investors, since 7 to 8.5% gross is earned at about half this price per sq ft.
• Buyers who dislike large towers, with about 1,000 apartments completing together.

Our verdict

Timez is the more ambitious of Danube's two Dubai Silicon Oasis towers and the dearer one. The convertible layout and the AED 2 million 3 BHK with a private pool are both real reasons to choose it.

What you pay for it is about AED 2,073 per sq ft against a community median of AED 983, the highest premium of the four towers we cover here. Underwrite at 4 to 5% gross, not the 8.23% headline, and plan for about 1,000 apartments reaching the rental market together in 2028. Get the payment schedule and completion date from the SPA, and confirm the DLD project number and escrow bank on the Dubai REST app.

FAQs

What is the starting price of Timez by Danube in Dubai Silicon Oasis?

AED 800,000 (about Rs 2.06 crore) for a studio of about 386 sq ft. The 1 BHK starts at AED 1.06 million for about 545 sq ft, the 2 BHK at AED 1.5 million for about 800 sq ft and the 3 BHK with a private pool at AED 2 million for about 1,057 sq ft. The studio works out at roughly AED 2,073 per sq ft.

What is the payment plan at Timez by Danube?

10% on booking, about 59% through construction and 30% over 30 months after handover; the same plan is also written as 70/30 over five years. On the AED 800,000 studio that is AED 80,000 on booking, about AED 472,000 through the build and about AED 8,000 a month afterwards. Add the 4% DLD transfer fee of AED 32,000, AED 40 at Oqood and about AED 4,000 plus VAT for the trustee.

When is the handover of Timez by Danube?

Most sources print Q2 2028; Bayut's building guide prints Q3 2028. We work to September 2028, the later date. No source we checked publishes a completion percentage. The SPA carries the anticipated completion date and the grace period; the Dubai REST app carries the escrow-verified progress.

What does a convertible apartment at Timez mean?

Danube designs the layouts so a studio can be turned into a one-bedroom and a one-bedroom into a two-bedroom. A small unit can therefore be relet as a larger home later, or adapted as your family grows, without selling and buying again. Confirm the detail on the floor plan before you book: it changes the usable suite area.

Is Timez by Danube registered with the Dubai Land Department, and is there an escrow account?

Yes. It is sold off-plan under DLD rules, so your instalments go into a DLD-approved escrow account named in the SPA and the sale is recorded on Oqood in your name. No source we checked prints the project number or the escrow bank; ask the sales office and check both on the Dubai REST app before paying.

How does the price compare with the rest of Dubai Silicon Oasis?

The community's median is about AED 983 per sq ft in 2026, up from AED 611 in 2020. Timez asks about AED 2,073 per sq ft for the studio, AED 1,945 for the 1 BHK, AED 1,875 for the 2 BHK and AED 1,892 for the 3 BHK. That is roughly double the community median, and it is the number to argue about before you book.

Does Timez by Danube qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?

The 3 BHK does, at exactly AED 2 million, which is the threshold. Nothing below it does on its own. Because the price sits exactly on the line, the DLD's valuation on the day you apply is what decides it, not the figure on your invoice, so do not treat the visa as guaranteed by the price list.

What rental yield can I expect at Timez by Danube?

Dubai Silicon Oasis is quoted at 7 to 8.5% gross and at 8.23% in the H1 2026 sales market report. Those returns come from stock bought near AED 983 per sq ft, so at AED 2,073 the same rent gives roughly half. Underwrite at 4 to 5% gross and treat anything more as upside.

Can an Indian citizen buy at Timez by Danube, and how does LRS work?

Yes. Dubai Silicon Oasis is freehold and open to all nationalities, and the DLD issues the title deed. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each resident Indian may send USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can move USD 500,000. The entry studio is about USD 218,000; the AED 2 million 3 BHK is about USD 545,000 and needs two people or two years.

Should I buy Timez or Oasiz, Danube's other Dubai Silicon Oasis tower?

Oasiz is cheaper to enter at AED 699,000, smaller at 408 apartments, and hands over about a year earlier, so rent starts sooner. Timez costs more per sq ft, is about 1,000 apartments, hands over in 2028, and offers convertible layouts and the only AED 2 million unit type. Buy Oasiz for earlier income, Timez for flexibility and the Golden Visa line.
