Positioned strategically in Dubai Studio City, Glitz 1 is more than just a place to live — it’s a lifestyle destination. With its landscaped podium gardens, rooftop leisure facilities, and community-focused amenities, the building offers an elevated living experience at a price point that is still competitive in Dubai’s real estate market.

Retail convenience is also integrated into the project with five ground-floor retail outlets, offering day-to-day essentials just steps away from residents’ homes.

Detailed Description

From its grand lobby entrance to its rooftop leisure deck, Glitz 1 by Danube is designed with a strong focus on lifestyle, comfort, and community. Residents are welcomed by a double-height lobby with a modern concierge desk and seating area, setting the tone for the premium living experience.

The apartments feature large windows that provide scenic views of the landscaped podium, swimming pool, and surrounding Dubai Studio City skyline. Each unit comes with a spacious balcony, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors without leaving their homes. Kitchens are fitted with premium cabinetry, sleek countertops, and built-in appliances in select units, making them both stylish and functional.

The building’s design emphasizes convenience, with high-speed elevators, underground parking, and 24-hour security with CCTV surveillance. DEWA and Empower handle the utility services, ensuring reliable electricity, water, and cooling. Fire safety is prioritized with extinguishers and an emergency backup power system in place.

Payment Plans

As the project is already completed, payment structures vary depending on whether buyers purchase directly from the developer (limited availability) or through the resale market.
Typical payment options include:

• Upfront Purchase: 100% payment upon transfer for ready-to-move-in units.

• Mortgage Financing: Available through multiple UAE banks, allowing buyers to pay 20%–25% upfront and the rest over flexible mortgage terms.

Investors often find attractive deals in the secondary market, with prices starting from AED 550,000 for a studio and competitive ROI potential in Dubai Studio City.

Economic Appeal

Glitz 1 appeals strongly to both investors and residents due to its combination of affordability, location, and lifestyle amenities. Dubai Studio City continues to grow as a creative and business hub, attracting media professionals, executives, and young families.

From an investment standpoint, the area’s rental yields are competitive — with one-bedroom apartments averaging AED 45,000 per year and three-bedroom units delivering some of the highest returns at around 8.4% ROI.

The ongoing development of the surrounding community further enhances long-term value appreciation, making Glitz 1 a secure and future-proof real estate choice.
