DANUBE Group has recently been awarded five prestigious certificates under the ISO 26000 and the
ISO 10002 standard, after an extensive evaluation process conducted by Swiss-based QS Zurich AG.
The internationally recognised ISO 26000 encourages businesses and organisations to ethically and
actively contribute to the welfare of society, whereas the ISO 10002 recognizes the firm’s efforts to
abide by international standards set for customer complaint management and satisfaction.

Being the first company within the industrial category to be recognized to promote social welfare and
offering quality customer feedback, Danube Group is constantly striving to implement best practices, in
order to operate in a more socially responsible manner and to maximize customer satisfaction.

Speaking about the accolade, Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group enthused:
“As corporate citizens, we are extremely honoured to be verified under international standards for our
efforts to promote the betterment of our society and enhance customer service. Being presented these
prestigious certificates symbolizes our commitment to our customers and restores our faith in our goals.
We have been thriving in the UAE market for over ten years and have consciously dedicated ourselves
to perform responsibly.”

Danube Group’s primary focus stems from the increasing demand for ethical behaviour in all aspects of
business, in addition to the need to deal with customer feedback systematically. With the certificates,
the renowned Danube Group joins other leading global organisations to focus on achieving similar
social goals and work in line with internationally accepted management system standards.

Speaking of the importance of CSR, Mr. Rizwan added, “Over the past ten years, companies in the
Middle East region have understood the potential benefits of having a dedicated CSR plan, which has
caused a wave of diverse CSR drives to be launched in the market. We at Danube Group have derived
effective CSR plans and have aimed to engrave our customers’ needs in our firm’s philosophy.”

In the past, Danube Group has also acquired 9001, 1400, & 18001 certificates to denote its contribution
in the fields of Quality & HSE.

Here’s another exciting first for Danube. We were always into stylish furniture and home accessories – and now Danube enters the menswear category with the launch of ‘Tudors’ – a new and exciting men’s fashion brand.

‘Tudors’ is a renowned fashion brand from Turkey – a prominent international name with presence in Turkey, Europe and the Middle East (Iraq & Iran) with more than 100 showrooms worldwide. ‘Tudors’ is an extremely well entrenched fashion brand for young boys and men between 15-45 years of age – with a range of affordable, fashionable wear. Danube has launched the first showroom for ‘Tudors’ in the UAE. This 300 sq.ft. outlet is located on Al Wahda Street, Sharjah. With 3 more showroom openings slated in the future for ‘Tudors’, Danube is sure to make the men in the UAE embrace a new beginning in fashion.

Cha Cha Chai – the F&B Division of Danube Group was launched in August 2013. It tasted immediate success at Blue Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road. And now, we continue the brand’s cups of successful joy with the launch of the first ever ‘Cha Cha Chai Lounge’ in Karama, Dubai.

The new Cha Cha Chai Lounge, not only continues to offer a variety of teas – but also specializes in more than 60 exotic flavours of Sheesha. Targetted at the youth, the Lounge has been an instant hit amongst the young and trendy of Dubai.

Indeed, in just 2 years, Cha Cha Chai has made us extremely proud and exceeded our expectations. We now have over 8 outlets:Blue Tower (Sheikh Zayed Road), Business Village (Deira) , Al Nahda Metro Station (Al Qusais) AMNA Building (Dubai Silicon Oasis), Union Metro Station, Al Nahda Metro Station , Al Qusais , Jebel Ali & Sharjah: Al Ramtha Branch (Sharjah Traffic Police HQ).

So, let’s keep going…Cha Cha Chai!

As a power brand, Danube Home has 7 retail stores in the UAE. And now, we’ve added one more, with the launch of Danube Home’s first flagship store and our biggest showroom in Sharjah, UAE. Spread across 60,000 sq.ft. of retail space – and centrally located opposite the New Gold Centre in Sharjah, this new showroom is a true testament to our continued growth.
Commenting on the ocassion, Mr Adel Sajan, Director of Danube Home, had some confident words about the new launch. “Our new Danube Home showroom at Sharjah symbolizes the Division’s growth and commitment towards serving our customers with a supreme store experience. We believe the new showroom will add a significant edge to the Danube Home offering.”
Indeed, the new store and its format infuses a sense of warmth and comfort, whilst maintaining a contemporary style to give our customers a preferred shopping experience. Sharjah has been selected as a location due to the increase in the number of consumers and contractors – and its growing hotel and hospitality industry.
The new Danube Home in Sharjah will offer free interior design and installation services. It will especially focus on the emergent Hotel, Restaurant Furniture and Tourism industry and will also largely cater to the Re-export market. All this to continue making Danube Home the one-stop-shop for all your home needs, with a wide range of exciting products.

The latest addition to the growing portfolio of Danube Properties was announced with the inauguration
of the third Glitz property, Glitz Residence 3 by Danube. Hosted at the Danube Properties Head
Office, the details of the upcoming venture were unveiled by the Founder and Chairman of Danube
Group, Mr. Rizwan Sajan along with other senior management officials of the Group. This will be the
fourth property announcement by the brand within a year, in response to the ever growing investors
trust on Danube and the increasing demand for affordable residential apartments in Dubai.

Located in Dubai Studio City, the project has been conceptualised and designed by Danube featuring studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments across 2 Towers of 8 Levels each. The project also includes 6 retail outlets to cater to the needs of the residents. Each unit has been carefully defined by a contemporary architectural style along with state of the art facilities. Potential investors can choose from different floor plans and layouts, with quality finishing as a standard across all the residences. Offering spectacular Dubai city line views, Glitz 3 apartments priced from AED 475,000/- will feature stylish living spaces that seamlessly blends comfort and function. The spacious homes, will range in net area from 433 to 1,355 sq.ft. in the apartment towers. Each tower will include world-class and ultramodern amenities like landscaped gardens with water feature, tennis & basketball court, health club, swimming pool, air-conditioned kid’s play area cum party hall, leisure deck and much more.

The launch of all Danube Properties’ projects so far have been in line with the Government’s ideology
of introducing more affordable housing in the residential development market. Realty projects
such as Dreamz by Danube and Glitz 1, 2 and 3 promises to be a boon to middle-income residents
struggling to cope with the surge in rents and real estate prices. The strengthening move towards
affordable housing will be seen to have far-reaching positive implications and is expected to bring a wide
range of benefits to the emirate, while driving further maturity in the market.

To complement the overall offering, Danube Properties will also be proposing a flexible payment plan which allows buyers to pay only 1% per month after the initial down payment. The aim is to help mid-income group to realise their dream of owning a home in Dubai through an affordable payment plan without compromising on quality.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group shared, “Followed by the phenomenal success and 100% sell out of Glitz 1 & 2, Glitz 3 poses as a vibrant example of urban upscale community living that offers exceptional value across all aspects. Ideal for families and professionals, our project stands out for its high standard of finishes and amenities. We are confident the new project will set another benchmark of excellence for Danube.”
Earlier this year, Danube successfully sold out all the units of its first two residential towers Glitz 1 and 2, comprising a total of 300 units. “We are delighted with the great response that the first sales event for Glitz 1 and 2 residential units had generated, firmly consolidating our pioneering status in the industry. Due to limited inventory, a lot of the potential buyers have been patiently waiting for this launch. Like the previous projects, the response for Glitz 3 on the first day of the sales launch has been overwhelming with phase 1 and phase 2 of the property being sold out.
Danube has always been known to work tirelessly to provide the highest quality and services possible and the launch of our fourth project in under a year will be a further realisation of that vision”, Mr. Sajan, added.

The path to enhanced success for Danube continues in full swing. The New Year has begun
with Danube unveiling the start of its ambitious global and local growth plans. To begin, this January, Danube Home launched its first Mega Store in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
– a 250,000 sq.ft. showroom at Riyadh. Located on the retail hub of King Abdulla Road, the
showroom includes a modern logistics support of more than 200,000 sq.ft. With this mega
launch, Danube has brought unrivalled quality and innovative products to the home furnishings
industry in Saudi Arabia.

Commenting on the launch, Mr Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman said “This happens to be out largest showroom in the Kingdom, and reflects our continued growth and expansion
of our businesses in the region”. The showroom includes many innovative products – including
the free 3D Interior Designing Service – the most unique concept of its kind. With products
handpicked from leading countries in Europe and Asia, Danube Home’s offerings are the best fit for
the quality lifestyle of Saudi Arabia.

The second launch from Danube Home aims at gaining a foothold in India, one of the world’s
fastest growing markets. We have opened a showroom in Pune, Maharashtra which targets
architects, interior designers and builders. Spread across 4,500 sq.ft. and stocking the entire range
of Danube’s luxury products, this move is strategic and timely.
Continuing with the journey of expansion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Danube also opened
its new showroom in Takkasussi, Riyadh. It is our first Milano Branded showroom in the Middle
East. Spread across 600 sq.mtrs. the showroom stocks the latest and best luxury products from
the Milano brand.

All in all, the future looks bright with many new dawns of growth beckoning.

Danube Properties, the real estate arm of Danube Group, announced the launch of its second project ‘Glitz by Danube’. The latest venture is the second undertaking by the brand in the region within a year.

Danube Properties, the real estate arm of Danube Group, announced the launch of its second project ‘Glitz by Danube’. The latest venture is the second undertaking by the brand in the region within a year.

The latest project will be constructed at the prime location of Dubai Studio City offering consumers spectacular views of Dubai’s cityscape. The cluster of apartment buildings will redefine urban lifestyles with 300 luxury apartments available in a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments close to the proposed Village Centre.

The very first day of the sales launch for Glitz, saw all the apartments sold out within the first 2 hours of sale with constant requests coming in. Making this sale more attractive was the payment plan being offered by Danube to long-term investors and end-users, which requires the buyer to pay 10% down payment followed by 15% in 60 days. The balance amount is paid in 75 equal monthly installments of only 1% each. Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, commented, “We are very pleased with today’s response to our second project and it has further cemented our reputation as a developer of people’s choice.

Danube Properties was launched to make available luxury homes at affordable prices in the market and we have successfully managed to do so with both our projects.”
