IPL on JioStar becomes a launchpad for global brand Danube Properties' India-focused real estate blitz
The 18th season of the Indian Premier League has resumed in full swing after it was paused in early May due to geopolitical reasons. The tournament caters to a billion viewers in India and has emerged as one of the biggest properties for advertisers to build brand reputations and engage audiences. Its unprecedented scale makes IPL an unmissable opportunity for the Dubai-based conglomerate, Danube Group . Using a compelling campaign built around the tagline, 'Danube Hai Na,' the campaign aims to inspire Indian investors to explore the potential of Dubai's dynamic real estate market. In an exclusive interview of JioStar Brand Play , in association with Anis Sajan, Vice Chairman, Danube Group, spoke to Shilpa Rathnam, Associate Editor & Anchor – Video Initiatives, The Economic Times, about Danube Properties ' creative strategy behind the IPL 2025 campaign and how leveraging 'Brand Spotlight' has increased the number of leads for the brand. 'Since our ad launched, it's captured the attention of millions of Indians. Cricket is a religion here, and IPL is a nationwide festival; thus, it is vital for our brand to be visible at the IPL,' said Sajan. Convinced that 'Jo Dikhta Hai, Woh Bikta Hai'—what's seen, sells, Sajan views IPL as the ultimate platform to showcase Danube Properties. Recognising word-of-mouth as a powerful driver of brand recall, Danube aims to enhance its reputation and amplify client recommendations through this high-visibility campaign. 'I wouldn't be surprised if, post-IPL, we see a wave of tourists flocking to Dubai, despite the summer heat,' remarked Sajan, who aims to attract Indian investors looking for a place they can call home. On a marquee cricket platform like Star Sports, Sajan believes it strengthens the emotional and aspirational appeal of their brand, creating a lasting impression. They are confident this impact will continue to grow, reaching more audiences and enhancing their brand's reputation. For Danube Properties, a relatively new player in India's mass media landscape, IPL offers a prime opportunity to embed its brand in the minds of potential investors. Thrilled with the partnership, Sajan remarked, 'Star Sports and JioHotstar are simple yet powerful platforms, with audiences glued to their screens, whether on mobile or at home. Danube's USP lies in its marketing, and IPL's massive viewership, reaching even beyond India, has driven enquiries from global markets. It's truly a win-win situation.'

Dubai rental prices could drop by 20% in 2025
The rent drop you've been waiting for is on the way… Dubai's rental scene has been a rollercoaster over the past few years – no pause, no break, just higher numbers at every renewal. But (believe it or not), Dubai rental prices are finally cooling down. With a big wave of new apartments on the horizon, a rental dip – possibly up to 20% – could be coming in 2025. For renters, this could mean some long-overdue breathing room. A much needed correction After a wild four-year run of climbing rents, Dubai could finally be getting a break. Rizwan Sajan, founder of Danube Properties, has predicted a 10–20% correction in rents next year. Why? Because prices shot up fast after the pandemic, and a soft landing is better than a bubble burst. it's exactly what the market needs.'Rentals have gone very high,' Sajan explained. 'A correction will help. It's healthy.' New supply = new opportunities Some areas are already feeling the effects, with reports showing that older properties are seeing a dip in rent prices. This decline is happening due to increased competition among landlords and the rise of newer, more modern units. So if you've been on the hunt for a place in Dubai, keep your eyes peeled for the deals coming up in 2025. The numbers In Q1 2025 alone, 7,848 units were handed over. And it's only getting busier: 71,000+ more units are coming by year-end, with 80,000 in 2026 and nearly 59,000 in 2027. Translation? More choice, more competition, and possibly, more affordable options. What this means for renters and buyers For renters, 2025 could bring a welcome shift – better deals and more options. If you've been priced out of the market in the past, now might be your chance to secure a more affordable rental in a city that's always in demand. If you're a buyer, you'll see more competitive pricing across both rentals and sales, which could mean a better return on your investment in the long run.

Dubai: Up to 20% drop in rents ‘healthy' for property market, says top developer
A 10-20 per cent drop in rents is healthy for the Dubai property market following a four-year rally, said a top developer. Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of Danube Properties, expects a correction in rents next year after a double-digit increase since the Covid-19 pandemic. 'Rental correction might come around 10-20 per cent next year, which is required and healthy because rentals have gone very high. A 10-20 per cent rental correction will help the market as investors are coming here what is happening around the world. Dubai benefits whenever there is uncertainty in the world. But at the same time, prices and rents should not go too high,' Sajan told Khaleej Times in an interview. As reported last week, some properties in Dubai have started to see a decline in rentals due to growing competition among landlords, the impact of the Smart Rental Index on older properties and the supply of new units pressuring rents down. But a wider drop in rents across more communities is expected to be felt next year. Danube Properties chief also attributes a strong pipeline of new supply which will hit the market next year for a drop in rents. According to Property Monitor, Dubai saw 7,848 units handed over in the first quarter of 2025. A total of 71,251 new units are likely to be delivered for the whole of 2025, 80,015 in 2026 and 58,766 in 2027. 'This substantial influx of new supply over the medium term will be a key factor to watch, alongside ongoing demand dynamics, as it may influence both property prices and rental rates,' said Betterhomes in its first quarter report released on Monday. 'We should see some correction in rentals next year when deliveries happen. Prices might also see some correction, but there is nothing to worry about for good developers who offer good quality and amenities,' Sajan said, adding that a lot of investors from the US and Canada are coming to UAE. 'Dubai always benefits whenever there is uncertainty globally,' he said. Shortage of quality contractors Danube Properties is among the top 10 developers in Dubai, delivering thousands of units so far. It delivered three projects ahead of schedule since the first half of 2024. The private developer has launched 34 projects, successfully delivered 18, with another 16 currently in various stages. Last week, it unveiled its latest residential project Sparklz by Danube, a 358-unit tower coming up in Al Furjan. Currently, Danube holds an impressive book value with construction spanning over 25.5 million square feet. Sajan said there is a shortage of quality contractors in Dubai as the emirate has seen a good influx of new foreign developers as well as local ones. 'Finding a good contractor is going to be very, very challenging. Selling properties will not be as big a challenge as finding a contractor because there are too many developers but the number of contractors is the same. Also, contractors like to work with only developers with good reputations because the property market is cyclical and this market has seen its share of ups and downs. And contractor could face a challenge if developer's reputation is good,' said Sajan 'There are not as many new contractors coming here as the number of developers. There is plenty of space for contractors to grow – more space for contractors than developers. More contractors from Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and India should come here because there is a lot of work here in Dubai and UAE,' he said. Danube's chief suggested that developers coming from other countries should bring in contractors as well to meet growing demand. For contractors, he noted, it is very easy to set up a company, hire workers, process visas for labourers and get approvals. 'Dubai is one of the easiest cities in the world to do business and work,' he added.
