Azizi Developments is one of Dubai’s most ambitious developers by scale — with projects spanning from the mega-community of Azizi Riviera in MBR City to the landmark Burj Azizi supertall tower in Sheikh Zayed Road. With 10,000+ units delivered and 30,000+ under construction, Azizi represents a significant segment of Dubai’s mid-market residential supply.
Key Projects
Azizi Riviera (MBR City)
Dubai’s most ambitious community-within-a-community. 71 residential buildings arranged around a 2.7km crystal lagoon, inspired by the French Riviera lifestyle.
What makes it distinctive:
- The lagoon: a crystal-clear artificial beach lagoon you can swim in — rare for Dubai's interior communities
- Extensive retail boulevard with F&B and boutique shopping
- Proximity to [Downtown Dubai](/areas/downtown-dubai/) (15 minutes), DIFC (12 minutes)
- Community feel rare in Dubai's apartment market — 25,000+ residents at full build-out
Price: Studios from AED 430K, 1BR from AED 650K, 2BR from AED 1.1M Yield: 6.5–8% gross, driven by MBR City’s growing rental demand Handover: Various phases — some delivered, newer phases 2025–2027
Azizi Venice (Dubai South)
An ultra-ambitious waterfront community in Dubai South, with a 18km Venetian canal system, water taxis, gondola rides, and an opera house. Azizi Venice is positioning Dubai South as a cultural and lifestyle destination — not just an airport-adjacent dormitory.
Price: Studios from AED 390K, 1BR from AED 620K Yield potential: 8.5%+ as Dubai South matures around the airport expansion Timeline: 2025–2028 phased delivery
Burj Azizi (Sheikh Zayed Road)
One of the world’s tallest planned towers — proposed at 725m, which would surpass Burj Khalifa. Mixed-use with hotel, residences, and observation deck. Still in planning/approval stage in 2026.
Price: AED 5M+ (residences) Status: Planning phase; delivery 2030+
Azizi Riviera Beachfront (New Phase)
An elevated waterfront offering within the Riviera master community — direct lagoon-facing units with beach club access.
Price: 1BR from AED 950K, 2BR from AED 1.6M

Azizi Project Gross Yield Comparison
Investment Case
Pros:
- Very low entry prices — some of Dubai's most affordable units in desirable locations
- MBR City and Dubai South both offer strong long-term appreciation thesis
- Lagoon community differentiator drives rental demand vs standard apartment blocks
- High supply available = easier to find specific unit types and negotiate on price
Cons:
- Delivery delays have been reported across some Azizi projects — build in a 6–12 month buffer
- High supply within the community creates competitive rental environment
- Not a boutique luxury experience — scale-focused development
- Azizi brand does not command the premium of [Emaar](/developers/emaar/) or [Ellington](/developers/ellington/)
Best use case: Budget investors targeting maximum gross yield, willing to accept longer hold periods and potential delays. MBR City Riviera is particularly strong for proximity to Downtown at sub-AED 500K entry. Review our rental yields guide and payment plans explained to model your returns.
