It has guided him able-bodied throughout his career. From the time he landed in Dubai in the aboriginal 1990s, Sajan has been amalgam his own architecture authority — Danube Accumulation — brick by brick.

Turnover in his aboriginal year as a architecture abstracts supplier with Danube was $2.2m. This year, about-face is accepted to be about in the arena of $760m (AED2.8bn), up an estimated “10-15 percent” compared to aftermost year.

And so, aback the administrator talks about Dubai, its approaching and the accepted accompaniment of the acreage bazaar — all of which authority the key to his success —Sajan charcoal deeply confident, unwavered by any trends or statistics that ability advertise that it’s not absolutely as acceptable as some may think.

“Very bullish,” is his actual appraisal of the acreage market.

“Okay, the bazaar will go up and down, but so far I am bullish. I accept consistently been actual bullish from the beginning. Bodies accept a botheration of arrant in this market. For no acumen they aloof appetite to accomplish it negative. At the end of the day, if you accessible the bi-weekly you see ‘so-and-so bank’ makes added money, and ‘so-and-so company’ makes added money, what are you arrant for? Be blessed about it.”

One of the added cautionary letters to be appear afresh was Phidar Advisory’s Q3 Dubai residential analysis agenda which said Dubai’s acreage bazaar has accomplished a “saturation point”, breadth accumulation is currently growing at an boilerplate bulk of 3.9 percent, outpacing appeal at 3.7 percent.

Sajan, however, is unconvinced, and says it’s important to accede the bigger picture.

“Markets consistently goes up and down, according to assorted factors in the region, [like] oil prices and affect in the market, but what I see is a simple accumulation and appeal situation. I am assured advance of at atomic 1.5 actor bodies in the abutting bristles years, afore Expo 2020, out of which I would say 40 percent will be white-collar workers, about 600,000. For that amount, you crave 150,000 apartments, because one assorted by four — parents and two children.

“So you’re talking about 30,000 apartments appropriate in the bazaar for abutting bristles years. The commitment builds that are there in the bazaar are not added than 18,000 to 20,000 apartments. So breadth is the catechism of saturation?”

And he’s speaking from experience, commendation the able rental bazaar accomplished by his own acreage portfolio, which runs into the hundreds.

“If the appeal and accumulation are what bodies are quoting, the rentals would accept gone down. It is proving that way year afterwards year in the rental market. They are activity up, not activity down. Maybe one or two percent in some areas, but in the aftermost three years the rentals accept gone up by 40 percent to 50 percent,” he says.

“I accept bought added than a brace hundred apartments that I accept put on rental. Not a distinct accommodation is accessible for hire added than a day. As anon as somebody has vacated, aural a day addition abroad is acrimonious it up. If there was no demand, the accommodation would be abandoned for longer.”

Sajan additionally gives the archetype of the appeal for his own developments. Aloof over two years ago, he launched Dreamz by Danube, a accumulating of 171 townhouses. The $135m (AED500m) development in Al Furjan awash out aural three hours at the sales barrage event.

Buoyed by his aboriginal attack into the acreage market, he launched the aboriginal and additional appearance of Glitz by Danube in Dubai Studio City at alpha of 2014, both of which awash out aural the aboriginal two hours.

The latest phase, Glitz 3, was launched in June this year, but hasn’t been as successful, with 10 percent still larboard unsold.

Sajan, who has a activity of alone accepting one activity to advertise at any one time, charcoal assured that Glitz 3 is a blip.

“The bazaar affect slowed down. Okay, it attending a little best to sell, but we’re still abundant bigger off than the added developers who are still not able to sell. I cannot name any, but there are abounding developers who are not able to advertise 10-20 percent of their development, admitting I’m actual blessed that 90 percent is gone,” he says.

The better allotment of buyers are first-time investors, attractive to “settle bottomward and accept their own house”, he says. Affordability has been an important agency for his buyers.

“Seventy to 80 percent of expats who alive in this allotment of the apple are blockage in active apartments and they are my ambition market,” he says.

“The rental is about 10 percent of the advance you are making. If you are affairs an accommodation account AED1m, the rental is about AED100,000 per year for that apartment. So in ten years you are convalescent your money and with this acquittal plan that I am offering, you are not alike advantageous any absorption on that,” he adds.

Sajan says there is consistently an avenue policy, and bodies will be able to get aback whatever money they accept invested in his properties. “With the Expo 2020 advancing in the abreast future, the prices are activity to go up. That’s 100 percent my abiding gut activity on that,” he says.

That ‘one project’ activity is activity to be activated somewhat in the advancing days, if he’s not able to advertise the actual 10 percent in Glitz 3 afore he launches his latest project, afresh in the Al Furjan area, abaft Ibn Battuta Mall. The 14-storey activity will affection an accommodation that Sajan says will be a ‘first’ for Dubai.

“In Danube, we consistently accept that we do article altered from the bazaar and that’s one of the affidavit for our success. In our aboriginal project, we came out with actual affordable townhouses. Afterwards that, bodies followed and awash added townhouses [in added projects] but we were the aboriginal ones to accompany in AED2.5m townhouses, which were not accessible in the bazaar [at the time]. Afresh we came out with the apartments, which had a 1 percent acquittal plan, which cipher abroad was doing,” he says.

“Now we’re advancing with a actual altered accommodation breadth you pay for one bedroom, and you get the amplitude of two bedrooms.”

The accommodation will accept one bedroom, while the active allowance will appear with a chiffonier that becomes a bed recessed into the wall. Popular in Europe and the US, Sajan says a alert collapsible or sliding aperture will acquiesce it to be bankrupt off at night for privacy.

“You don’t accept to advance in a two-bedroom if you don’t accept the budget,” he declares. “You advance in one-bedroom and alive like you’re active in a two-bedroom, by aloof putting the chiffonier up or down.”

The one bed apartments, priced at “less than AED750,000”, will appear absolutely furnished in the 500-apartment development that will be agnate to the Glitz project.

He says the activity will additionally accept the Dubai Metro addendum active abutting by, which will be up and active by the time it’s finished.

Interestingly, he reveals that he expects some cogent announcements during the advancing months that will accumulate Danube bartering Dubai’s arresting advance story.

So my gut activity is that we will be active for addition three or four years afterwards any problems,” he says.

Danube Home has been accretion rapidly in the aftermost few months, with new showrooms in Riyadh, Oman, Sharjah and a cogent $13.5m flagship abundance on Sheikh Zayed Road due to accessible soon.

Sajan says he has developed a authorization archetypal for “only breadth we are not present” to abound Danube Home alike further.

“We’re attractive at franchising opportunities in India and additionally in Africa and ones breadth were are not present,” he says.

Two accept been finalised in India, with others additionally completed in Africa and Seychelles, but he insists the accomplice has to be right, and accommodating to put in the work.

“A lot of bodies today accept the money, but they don’t appetite to work. They aloof appetite to advance and anticipate that the business is aloof activity to work. We don’t appetite bodies like that,” he says.

“We accept to accept a being who has the ability of some retail background, afresh he knows how to run it. I can set it up for him but he has to assuredly run it.”

The franchising archetypal is the alone way he intends to accomplish in Africa, afterward the disappointment of accepting to abutting bottomward its operation in Kenya.

“It’s not accomplishing that able-bodied for us. The aegis isn’t acceptable and my agents are not accommodating to go there. Every now and afresh they say there’s a problem.

Another breadth of advance for Danube is development of a assembly ability for Alucopanel USA’s ambit of blended cladding panels in Dubai TechnoPark aftermost year. He says it is already advance in the additional line, “which should be accessible by March or April”.

But I consistently accept in accomplishing article altered compared to what everybody abroad does. So if I accept to appear up with a hotel, it will be article different. That affair has to bang in apperception that says ‘yes, this is different’, afresh I will put my money in. I wouldn’t aloof accessible a auberge and chase what everybody is doing.”
