About Gemz by Danube

Gemz by Danube is a residential building in Al Furjan, Jebel Ali First, Dubai, developed by Danube Properties. The building stands 16 storeys and holds 270 units in total. The architectural consultant for the project was Arec Engineering Consult.

The building is designed in a distinctive pyramid shape, and most apartments were built with an in-unit swimming pool as a launch feature. Units also come with convertible layouts, so a one-bedroom apartment can be configured as a two-bedroom, and a two-bedroom as a three-bedroom. Gemz launched for sale in May 2022 and, according to contemporary press coverage, sold out within hours. Construction began in November 2022 and finished in March 2025.

Developer (Danube Properties), storey count (16), unit count (270), architect (Arec Engineering Consult), the pyramid-shaped design and the convertible-layout feature are sourced from Propsearch.ae's building guide, confirmed by Danube Properties' own official site, which lists Gemz as a distinct, completed project in its own portfolio. An older 2022 press reference to a '14-storey' version of the project appears to be a pre-completion design-stage figure superseded by the building's current, structured 16-storey record, so it is not used here.

Unit Types at Gemz by Danube

Gemz by Danube’s headline unit mix is studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Dubai Land Department transaction records also show genuine sales of larger units, including a 1,819 sq ft three-bedroom layout and 1,235 to 1,445 sq ft two-bedroom units, alongside 413 sq ft studios.

Unit mix is sourced from Propsearch.ae's structured building-guide fields. The building's own documented design includes convertible layouts, where a one-bedroom unit can become a two-bedroom, and a two-bedroom can become a three-bedroom, which explains the three-bedroom sales recorded in the same Dubai Land Department transaction data, rather than an unexplained fourth unit type.

Amenities are sourced from Propsearch.ae's building guide. The cricket pitch and in-unit pools are called out there as distinguishing features of the project.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Gemz by Danube is a completed, standard freehold residential building, so the usual owner-direct DTCM holiday home permit route applies to any unit here. Danube Properties is not a restricted hotel brand, so Royale Stays has no confirmed prohibition or restriction on short-term letting at this building.

Gemz by Danube sits outside Royale Stays’ current core management areas of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay, so no property-specific earnings figure is quoted here. The building’s pyramid-shaped design, in-unit pools, cricket pitch and outdoor cinema are the kind of standout amenities that can appeal to short-stay guests. Royale Stays’ Airbnb management services, furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, are available from a management fee starting at 15%. Owners can submit their property for a free assessment.

Royale Stays has no current partnership, affiliation, or commercial relationship with Danube Properties. This page is an independent building guide for owners and investors researching the project.
