About Olivz by Danube
Olivz by Danube is a residential complex in Al Warsan First, part of Dubai International City, developed by Danube Properties. The project comprises three separate blocks, Olivz Building 1 through Building 3, each seven storeys, individually registered with the Dubai Land Department under its own building record. Construction began in August 2020 and the project was completed in July 2023, roughly 15 months later than the developer's original April 2022 estimated handover.
The complex holds approximately 411 residential units across the three blocks, per Danube Properties' own official project page. The Dubai Land Department's own project-value estimate, submitted by the developer prior to construction, was approximately AED 136,350,000 (around USD 37.1 million).
Developer and three-block/seven-storey structure confirmed across danubeproperties.com (developer's own site), propsearch.ae (whose own classification reads 'Multi-building complex'), and the Dubai Land Department's own transaction records, which name each sale's Building Name field as 'OLIVZ RESIDENCE BLOCK 1/2/3'. PropertyFinder's summary panel separately states 'Number of buildings: 1', which conflicts with its own block-specific live listings; the DLD's government transaction data is treated as authoritative here. Total unit count (411) is single-sourced to Danube's own official site; a conflicting 741 figure on squareyards.ae was excluded as stale, since that same listing incorrectly shows the completed project as still under construction. Nine of nine top organic search results resolve to this same building, and they include dedicated Booking.com and Agoda listing pages for it, an unusually direct STR-demand signal.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Olivz by Danube sits in Al Warsan First, within the wider Dubai International City masterplan area. Per Danube Properties' own published drive times, Dragon Mart is around 7 minutes away, Dubai Safari around 10 minutes, Dubai International Airport around 13 minutes, Dubai Frame and Downtown Dubai both around 18 minutes, and Al Maktoum Airport around 35 minutes.
An independent drive-time source gives a slightly different range for some destinations, around 17 minutes to Dubai International Airport and around 26 minutes to Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain, alongside Dragon Mart at around 10 minutes and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary at around 9 minutes. International City itself is known for its themed residential clusters and budget-friendly living, with Dragon Mart and a range of restaurants and everyday amenities within easy reach.
Unit Types
Olivz by Danube offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments across its three blocks. Studios range from around 367 to 427 sq ft, one-bedroom units from around 424 to 674 sq ft, and two-bedroom units are sized around 935 sq ft, consistent across the developer's own listings and independent portal floor-plan data.
Danube's own developer-unit inventory lists studios starting from AED 308,000, one-bedroom units from AED 465,000, and two-bedroom units from AED 695,000 (historical developer pricing, since primary units are now sold out direct from Danube). Real Dubai Land Department transactions confirm units changing hands at similar sizes today, including a 394 sq ft studio and a 629 sq ft one-bedroom unit, detailed further in the pricing section below.
Amenities
Olivz by Danube's amenities include a gym and fully equipped health club, a swimming pool with poolside seating, a tennis court, a jacuzzi, a jogging track, a kids' play area, a party hall with outdoor deck, landscaped gardens, and water canal views. Pets are allowed at the development.
Transportation & Access
Olivz by Danube is accessed primarily by road, consistent with the rest of Al Warsan First and Dubai International City, which does not have a direct metro connection. The development sits within easy reach of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, with drive times of around 13 to 17 minutes to Dubai International Airport and around 18 to 26 minutes to Downtown Dubai, depending on the source and route.
Sale Prices & What to Expect
Olivz by Danube launched at a starting price of AED 535,000 in 2020, agreeing exactly between Danube Properties' own site and PropertyFinder's project data. Primary units are now sold out direct from the developer, so current buyers purchase on the resale market.
Real, dated Dubai Land Department transactions show a 394 sq ft studio selling for AED 470,000 in August 2026, and one-bedroom units in the 553 to 639 sq ft range selling between AED 750,000 and AED 780,000 across June and July 2026. PropertyFinder's own sold-history feed independently confirms several of these same transactions, including a matching 388 sq ft studio at AED 498,000 and a matching 629 sq ft one-bedroom unit at AED 750,000. Propsearch.ae's transaction ledger records 50 sale transactions on file for Olivz, indicating an active, liquid resale market rather than a single outlier sale.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
International City is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide states that honestly rather than implying an existing managed listing at Olivz. Danube Properties is a private developer, not a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home here, subject to the standard DTCM permit process.
Notably, independent research for this guide found dedicated short-term-rental listing pages for a studio unit at Olivz on both Booking.com and Agoda, a directly observed third-party signal of existing STR demand and activity at this specific building, not a Royale Stays claim. Royale Stays can arrange the holiday home permit and manage day-to-day operations for owners at Olivz for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance.
