Timez

38 floors of apartments that reconfigure on demand

Timez brings a rare concept to the Dubai market: apartments with movable partitions that transform a studio into a one-bedroom, or a one-bedroom into a two-bedroom. Danube Properties delivers this flexibility across 38 residential floors sitting atop a three-level podium, two basement parking levels and a landscaped rooftop. Prices start at AED 1.55 million for studios and reach AED 9.1 million for three-bedroom units with private pools. Handover is scheduled for June 2028 in Dubai Silicon Oasis, a technology park whose resident workforce has doubled over the past five years. The building's design anticipates lifestyle changes, allowing owners to adapt their living space without renovation or relocation.

How the convertible layout actually works

The system relies on sliding walls integrated during construction rather than added as aftermarket furniture. A base studio can gain a sealed bedroom by deploying a partition stored inside a wall recess. Reversing the process takes under ten minutes according to technical documentation. This adaptability suits buyers expecting family growth, extended remote work or temporary cohabitation arrangements. Danube tested similar mechanisms in earlier projects, but Timez extends the logic from studio through three-bedroom configurations. Interior finishes (fitted kitchens, flooring, cabinetry) remain consistent regardless of the chosen layout.

Private pools on high-rise terraces

Select units at Timez include a private pool built directly onto the apartment terrace. These are not oversized jacuzzis but compact lap pools with autonomous filtration systems. The option targets two- and three-bedroom apartments on upper floors where views stretch toward Downtown Dubai. Structural reinforcement handles the water load and waterproofing challenges inherent to elevated pools. For landlords, the feature positions the asset in a premium rental bracket, attracting high-income expatriates unwilling to share crowded common pools. Market data suggests a 15 to 20 percent rent premium over standard units of equivalent size.

Dubai Silicon Oasis: tech hub 12 minutes from Burj Khalifa

The district hosts over 900 technology firms and borders Academic City, reachable in seven minutes by car. This concentration fuels steady rental demand from young professionals and postgraduate students. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road runs two minutes away, providing quick access to Downtown (12 minutes) and Dubai International Airport (15 minutes). A metro station is planned nearby, which should reduce car dependency once operational. Central Park and its artificial lake sit at the heart of the zone, offering green space in an otherwise mineral environment. For families, several international schools and Global Village (eight minutes) strengthen the area's appeal.

45 amenities spread across three podium levels

The Timez podium packs an unusual density of facilities for this price segment. Aquatic offerings include an infinity counter-current pool, a shallow children's pool, a jacuzzi and an aquatic gym. Sports infrastructure covers a basketball court, a padel court, a synthetic cricket pitch and a boxing ring with training area. Leisure options range from an outdoor cinema and open cigar lounge to a mini-golf course and a library. An on-site daycare allows resident parents to leave children within the building perimeter. Two prayer rooms (male and female), a spa with therapy services and a business center with conference room round out the package.

Monthly payment plan: Danube's signature financing

Danube Properties built its brand on fractional payment schedules accessible without bank mortgages. For Timez, buyers pay an initial deposit followed by monthly installments spread over construction and beyond handover. The developer markets a 71-month plan, implying roughly six years of payments. This timeline likely includes a post-handover phase, enabling owners to collect rent before fully settling the purchase. For investors, cash flow can turn positive relatively early in the ownership cycle. The structure appeals to buyers who prefer not to immobilize large capital upfront or who wish to avoid mortgage interest rates in a rising-rate environment.
