Skyz by Danube, Arjan: a 41-storey tower in a family district

The building
Forty-one storeys stand over one basement level, and work started in October 2021.
Flats change hands here often, with 102 sale transactions in the past year, a rise on the year before.
Damac Westside and Damac Northside stand among the neighbours. Arjan itself is a mixed-use mid-rise district in the Dubailand masterplan, developed by Dubai Properties Group.
Arriving
The tower sits off a main road, which is why the way in feels so easy from the highway. A taxi from Dubai International takes the highway and drops at the door.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Umm Suqeim Road are the two main roads, and Al Khail Road and Hessa Street also serve the district.
The district sits across from Dubai Hills along the upgraded Umm Suqeim Road, near the hospitals and Miracle Garden. Dubai Hills Mall and the Arabian Ranches Golf Course are close too.
Getting around
The district has no metro station. Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City are the stations people use, and Mall of the Emirates is the usual one.
Bus F36 runs to Mall of the Emirates, but stops in the area are few. Bus numbers change, so check before you travel. A car is the sensible default.
Parking is a major concern, with one space per building and paid resident permits. If you bring a hire car, ask about parking before you book.
The first errand
The Lifco and JMA supermarkets are in Arjan, with Blue Mart, Wintouch and Grandiose. A coffee and a litre of water on the first evening is an easy walk to the nearest of them.
Citicare and Aster Clinic are on the list for Arjan, alongside Onyx Medical Center. No major hospital sits inside the district. Mediclinic Parkview is the nearest.
Dinner
Around the tower there are 7 coffee shops and 17 restaurants, plus 17 fast food venues. That is enough for a week without repeating a meal.
Fatayer Ala Altayer and Pitfire Pizza Bakers are the closest, with Allo Falafel Allo Broasted and Cafe Barbera also close. Rukun Al Sham Fatayer is on the list too.
Via Delhi and Thai Samai sit on Vincitore Boulevard, with Tim Hortons and Bao Kitchen nearby. For a proper evening out, Vincitore Boulevard is the place.
A free afternoon
Dubai Miracle Garden sits in or beside Arjan, with the Butterfly Garden next to it. It is the big draw of the district, and a half day there fits easily into a week built around the park and the boulevard.
Floating Lady and Floral Clock are among the attractions close by, and so are Smurfs Village and The Selfie Kingdom. IMG Worlds of Adventure is further out. A family has a long weekend of outings without a long drive to Dubai Hills.
Arjan Community Park and Diamond Park have playgrounds and pet areas, and a central park stays open around the clock. If you have a dog or a toddler, Arjan Community Park is where the days start.
Arjan Fitness Gym and F45 Training are in the district, with GymNation and Fitness Terminal. A longer stay can keep its routine.
Who it suits
The recent sales are mostly studios and one-bedroom flats. They fit a couple or a small family.
Anyone after a lively night will take a taxi, because the district is calm after dark and the parks are the main draw. The taxi fare to Dubai Hills or Sports City is short, and the drive is straightforward.
Evenings
Dining on Vincitore Boulevard is the evening plan here. A family can walk the boulevard after dinner while the children run in the park beside it.
With a car, My City Centre Al Barsha is a good wet-day plan. The district is still growing, so the list of things to do changes quickly.
Shopping and the wider city
My City Centre Al Barsha and Dubai Hills Mall are the shopping options outside Arjan, with Circle Mall and City Centre Me'aisem further off. The Promenade on Vincitore Boulevard is the local option.
Arjan is a family area with plenty of tourist spots to visit, and the master developer looks after the community. A mall day is a short ride, and the weather decides it.
Families and schools
Around the tower there are 26 schools. They teach Indian, American, French and Australian curricula, as well as the IB, with annual fees from AED 17K to AED 161K.
Next Generation School teaches the American curriculum, and GEMS New Millennium School teaches CBSE. Safa Community School offers British and IB programmes.
Dhruv Global School, Highgate International School and Australian International School Dubai add choice.
Safa Community School and Nord Anglia International School hold the top KHDA rating, and both are UK or IB schools. Australian International School and GEMS Metropole School are rated Good, while Repton Al Barsha and Brighton College Dubai are rated Very good.
Happy Bees Early Learning Center is in Arjan, and Step by Step Nursery teaches the British early years curriculum. For a family on a year's posting the school run is a drive.
What the district feels like
Arjan has tree-lined streets, a family-friendly feel and a warm sense of community, with mostly mid-rise apartments from studios to three bedrooms. A tall tower stands apart from that picture.
A few years ago Arjan had little to see, and the parks have grown since. The district is still growing, and so is the noise of building work.
With a calm residential feel, Miracle Garden close by, and Dubai Hills and Sports City within a short drive, an Arjan apartment suits anyone who wants a quieter, lower-cost base and is happy to use a car.
A week here
Arrive on a Monday by taxi from Dubai International and a modern lobby meets you. On Tuesday the family walks to the park, and on Wednesday you ride to the mall.
At the weekend you visit Miracle Garden or book a table on Vincitore Boulevard.
What is on this month
The Dubai Fitness Challenge asks residents and visitors to stay active every day, and its tenth edition runs from 31 October to 29 November. If you arrive this month, the parks and the gyms of the district make it easy to join in.
What the register shows
The register labels each of these as a sale. The table groups this year's sales by unit type and is not a price list.
| Unit type | Sales | Dates | Price (AED) | Size (sq m) | AED per sq m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 40 | 7 Jan to 5 Oct | 490,000 to 680,000 | 31.97 to 34.36 | 17,161 |
| One-bedroom | 31 | 2 Jan to 12 Oct | 700,000 to 930,000 | 51.07 to 53.03 | 15,810 |
| Two-bedroom | 10 | 9 Feb to 23 Sep | 1,280,000 to 1,420,000 | 93.61 to 94.32 | 14,048 |
AED per sq m is the median where a row has more than one sale. The register records a studio sold for AED 490,000 and a two-bedroom sold for AED 1,420,000, the bottom of the studio range and the top of the two-bedroom range.
