Elitz 2 (project 2693) has two towers and 801 homes. Danube’s page gives December 2027, while its FAQ still says Q3 2026. The DLD register holds no completion date. The DLD inspection of 28 September 2026 recorded 20.01% (Continental Club), and Danube reported 33% on 31 August 2026. Elitz 2 was not on Danube’s July 2026 list.

At Elitz 1, DLD sales in 2026 included studios of about 440 sq ft at AED 620,000 to AED 750,000 (June to August), an 830 sq ft 1 bedroom at AED 1,000,000 (12 September) and a 1,349 sq ft 2 bedroom at AED 1,680,000 (17 September).

Elitz by Danube payment plan

Both phases were sold on Danube’s 1% monthly plan: an initial deposit, then 1% of the price each month, with the balance due when the building is ready. Danube said in its Elitz 2 launch release that buyers usually move in after paying about 60% of the price. The longer construction runs, the more monthly instalments are paid before the final balance.

Elitz by Danube developer and delivery record

Danube says every project it has handed over was delivered as promised (Gulf News, 30 July 2026), and it completed Opalz ahead of schedule in April 2025. Elitz 1 and Elitz 2 are both behind the dates given at launch: Q4 2025 for Elitz 1 and Q3 2026 for Elitz 2. Danube’s wider record is covered in its developer review.

What to check before buying at Elitz by Danube

  1. Which Elitz the unit is in. Elitz 1, Elitz 2 and Elitz 3 are separate DLD projects with different dates and progress.
  2. The completion date in the SPA, since Danube’s own pages show two dates for each phase.
  3. The DLD status of project 2533 or 2693 through DLD’s project status enquiry service, especially for Elitz 1, whose registered date has passed.
  4. How many monthly instalments remain before the balance falls due, which depends on the booking date and the handover date.
