Recently, the first pictures of the massive skyscraper were released online. It is designed by Gauri Khan, Shah Rukh Khan’s wife.

Talking about working with the company. Gauri Khan said on Instagram, “I’ve designed many spaces over the years, but working on a project that carries Shah Rukh’s name has been particularly close to my heart!”

She has designed the penthouses of the luxury project.

“We wanted to bring the feeling of living in a mansion into an apartment, without compromising on luxury, comfort or practicality,” she added.

The grand penthouses come with bespoke Italian-branded furniture and modern decor, a modular kitchen, spacious living rooms and stunning views of the blue waters from the glass windows and balcony.

“From spacious living areas and statement kitchens to beautiful finishes, walk-in wardrobes and the smallest details, we wanted every corner to feel luxurious but still very much like home. And with endless sea views and a beautiful waterfront setting, it all comes together so wonderfully,” read Gauri Khan’s caption of the video, which also featured Adel Sajan. Joining them towards the end, Shah Rukh Khan said, “Live life King size.”

Danube Properties also shared pictures of their fully furnished one-bedroom apartment at the luxury tower.

Going by the images, the apartment offers a contemporary luxury aesthetic, blending warm neutral tones with rich textures and gold accents. Cream and beige marble-effect wall panels, soft ambient cove lighting and recessed ceiling lights create a warm, sophisticated and inviting atmosphere.

The living room sees a modern sofa, complemented by a sculptural gold-finish coffee table and a statement chandelier, enhancing the look. A large abstract artwork and floor-to-ceiling curtains soften the interiors, creating an inviting feeling.

The kitchen of the apartment follows similar aesthetics with sleek cabinets, integrated appliances and marble-finish surfaces, accented by gold-toned detailing.

In the adjoining seating area, light wood flooring is seen alongside sculptural furniture, and layered lighting to bring all elements of the interior together. Large windows of the space open up to views of the sea, bringing in ample sunlight and creating an almost resort-inspired feel.

Total valuation

Shahrukhz by Danube is an AED 2.1 billion or $572 million or ₹5,000+ crore project. According to the company, the premium building which also offered commercial space, was completely sold out during its launch.
