Azizi Developments
Azizi Developments is a leading private real estate developer headquartered in Dubai, UAE.
Founded in 2007 by Mirwais Azizi, the company has grown into one of the emirate’s most active developers, with over 45,000 homes delivered to date and approximately 150,000 units currently under construction.
The company develops across a wide spectrum of market segments, from affordable mid-market apartments to ultra-luxury mansions and what is set to become the world’s second-tallest skyscraper — Burj Azizi on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Azizi’s operations span some of Dubai’s most sought-after locations, including MBR City, Palm Jumeirah, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Healthcare City, Al Jaddaf, Dubai South, Al Furjan, Studio City, Sports City, Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubailand, and Dubai Islands.
The company’s master-planned communities — Azizi Riviera, Azizi Venice, and Azizi Milan — represent large-scale developments that combine residential living with retail, hospitality, and cultural infrastructure.
Who Is Azizi Developments?
Azizi Developments was established in 2007 as the real estate development arm of the Azizi Group, which was originally founded in 1989 by Mirwais Azizi, an Afghan-born entrepreneur with a diversified business portfolio spanning banking, investments, oil and gas, and real estate across 10 countries.
The company is led by Group CEO Farhad Azizi, who oversees the strategic direction and day-to-day operations.
The company builds its operations around five stated core principles: Transparency, Customer Centricity, Quality, Integrity, and Adding Value.
Azizi has positioned itself as a construction-driven developer, emphasising its approach of maintaining direct oversight over the building process rather than solely managing third-party contractors.
In 2024, the company recorded sales of over 10,229 units, representing a 15.8% increase compared to 2023, with a total sales value exceeding AED 10 billion.
During the same year, Azizi completed 19 projects and developed over 8.4 million square feet of built-up area. A further 25 building completions were planned for 2025.
Azizi’s Presence Across Dubai
Azizi develops projects across multiple established and emerging districts in Dubai. Its core areas of operation include MBR City (home to the Riviera community), Dubai South (Venice and Monaco Mansions), Sheikh Zayed Road (Burj Azizi), Al Jaddaf (Farishta II and Jaddaf Beach Oasis), Dubailand/City of Arabia (Milan and Milan Heights), Al Furjan, Dubai Healthcare City (Creek Views), Palm Jumeirah (Mina), Studio City, Sports City, Downtown Jebel Ali, and Dubai Islands.
The company’s Sales Gallery is located on the 13th floor of the Conrad Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Azizi has also announced an ambitious entry into the hospitality sector, with plans to develop fifty 5-star hotels and one 7-star hotel across Dubai, backed by an AED 75 billion hospitality investment.
The first five-star hotel within the Azizi Riviera community in MBR City has already broken ground as of March 2026.
Flagship and Master-Planned Communities
Burj Azizi — Sheikh Zayed Road
Burj Azizi is a 131+ storey skyscraper standing 725 metres tall on Sheikh Zayed Road, set to become the world’s second-tallest building upon completion, scheduled for 2028.

The development will include a vertical retail centre spanning seven floors, a beach club, wellness centres, and what is designed to be the world’s highest observation deck, nightclub, hotel lobby, and restaurant.

Azizi Venice will also house Azizi Opera, five-star hotels, and extensive leisure and cultural facilities. The community is designed to welcome over 30,000 daily visitors.

What Sets Azizi Apart?
Construction-Driven Approach: Azizi maintains direct control over its building processes, which supports quality consistency and on-time delivery across its large project portfolio.
Scale and Delivery Track Record: With over 45,000 homes delivered and 150,000 units under construction, Azizi operates at a scale matched by very few private developers in Dubai.
Diversified Product Range: From studios starting below AED 500,000 in emerging districts to AED 220 million ultra-luxury mansions and a 725-metre supertall tower, Azizi covers virtually every market segment.
Hospitality Vision: The planned rollout of 50 five-star hotels and a seven-star hotel, backed by an AED 75 billion investment, positions Azizi as a developer with long-term community-building ambitions.
Master-Developer Capabilities:
Through Riviera, Venice, and Milan, Azizi designs and builds entire urban communities including infrastructure, retail, cultural venues, and hospitality — not just individual buildings.
Philanthropy and Community Impact: Azizi’s AED 600 million donation to the Mother’s Endowment Campaign — one of the largest charitable donations in UAE history — and its consistent sponsorship of community initiatives reflect a commitment beyond real estate.

Why Investors and Homebuyers Consider Azizi
For investors, Azizi offers competitive entry-level pricing across multiple emerging and established Dubai districts, structured payment plans (typically 50/50 or 60/40), and freehold ownership.
Many Azizi properties qualify for the UAE’s 10-Year Golden Visa. The company’s track record of delivering over 45,000 homes, combined with its large-scale master communities and hospitality pipeline, provides a framework for long-term capital appreciation and rental yield potential.
For homebuyers, Azizi’s appeal lies in its range of community types — from waterfront resort-style living at Riviera and Venice to urban connectivity in Al Jaddaf and the family-oriented environment of Al Furjan.
The developer’s emphasis on amenities, retail integration, and cultural infrastructure creates self-contained communities rather than standalone buildings.
