What actually changes for a buyer
Priority access, not just a discount
Qualifying buyers get pre-launch or priority access to select units across Danube's portfolio, not just better payment terms.
Government-backed, not just developer marketing
This runs in partnership with Dubai's DET and the DLD, giving it a different footing than a typical developer promo.
Backed by Dubai's DET and the DLD.
Government-backed, not just a developer promo
Launched in partnership with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism and the Dubai Land Department.
Priority access to select units
Qualifying first-time buyers get pre-launch or priority access across Danube's portfolio.
Five partner banks
Financing support through five participating banks, not just Danube's own instalment plan.
What this means for you
Danube Properties' First-Time Home Buyer Programme, launched in August 2025 in partnership with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism and the Dubai Land Department, reserves 10% of units across Danube's portfolio for first-time buyers. Only 60% of the price is payable before handover, with a 1%-monthly instalment option, and buyers get pre-launch or priority access to qualifying units plus financing through five partner banks. Unlike Danube's project-specific promotions, such as the 0% down offer on Bayz 101 and 102, or the now-expired Deal of the Decade, this is an ongoing programme with no published end date. It is a separate scheme from the Dubai Land Department's own first-time buyer programme.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the DLD's First-Time Home Buyer Programme?+
No, it's a separate, Danube-specific scheme, though it's launched in partnership with the DLD and Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism. Ask us if you'd also like details on the DLD's own programme.
Which projects does this apply to?+
It applies portfolio-wide, not to one named project. 10% of units in qualifying Danube developments are reserved for first-time buyers. Message us to see which current launches have availability.
Is there a deadline?+
No published end date as of September 2026. It's described as an ongoing programme.
