Azizi Developments describes itself as a leading private developer based in Dubai, UAE. The company states it has delivered more than 45,000 homes to local and international investors and end users of over 100 nationalities, and that it currently has around 150,000 units under construction, valued at several tens of billions of US dollars.
It describes its portfolio as modern luxury developments across Dubai’s residential and commercial destinations, and characterises its approach as construction-driven, with a commitment to transparency and customer centricity.
Farhad Azizi is Group CEO of the Azizi group of companies. The company’s sales gallery is on the 13th floor of the Conrad Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Azizi’s three master-planned communities are Azizi Riviera, Azizi Venice and Azizi Milan. The company also states it is developing Burj Azizi, which it describes as the world’s second-tallest skyscraper.
Its projects spread over MBR City, Palm Jumeirah, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai South, Dubailand, Al Furjan, Studio City, Sports City and Downtown Jebel Ali.
Beyond the master-planned communities, Azizi has named Azizi Vista in Dubai Studio City and Beach Oasis I among its recent completions.
Riviera is Azizi’s flagship master-planned community and sits in MBR City. It comprises 75 mid- and high-rise buildings with approximately 16,000 residences. Azizi designed it to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, and describes it as a landmark destination that is both residential and commercial, with an abundance of retail space.
The community has three districts: an extensive retail boulevard, a lagoon walk on the shores of its 2.7 km-long swimmable crystal lagoon with artisan eateries and boutiques, and Les Jardins, a vast landscaped social space.
Azizi announced on 7 August 2025 that Riviera had entered its final stage of delivery. At that point, 53 of the 75 buildings had been handed over, covering all of phases 1, 2 and 3 plus five buildings in phase 4. Azizi stated that the remaining 22 buildings were well on track for their respective completions scheduled up until Q2 2026.
| Building | Status per Azizi (7 August 2025) |
|---|---|
| Riviera 63 | Delivered 24 March 2025 |
| Riviera 61 | Delivered 9 June 2025 |
| Riviera 67 | Handover commenced 1 July 2025 |
| Riviera 65 | Handover commenced 21 July 2025 |
| Azure | Slated for August 2025 |
| Riviera 52 | Slated for September 2025 |
Alongside Riviera, Azizi said it was preparing for the completion of Azizi Vista in Dubai Studio City in August 2025, followed by Beach Oasis I in October 2025.
Delivery is the question buyers ask most often about Azizi, so it is worth setting out what the company has committed to and where that stands.
Azizi is delivering, publicly and on a regular cadence. Four Riviera buildings were handed over between March and July 2025 alone, and the company announces individual handovers as they happen. It is an established developer with a large, active pipeline.
The open question is timing. Azizi’s stated schedule was that Riviera’s final 22 buildings would complete up until Q2 2026. That quarter ended on 30 June 2026. As at the date of this page, we have found no Azizi announcement confirming Riviera is complete. Given that Azizi publicises individual building handovers routinely, the absence of a completion announcement is worth noting, though it is not proof on its own.
Treat an Azizi handover date as a target rather than a contractual certainty, and check your finances still work if your unit lands later than advertised. If the purchase only works on the advertised date, it is the wrong purchase.
This is sensible practice with any off-plan purchase from any developer. It matters more where a stated masterplan deadline has passed without confirmation.
Azizi states it is developing Burj Azizi, which it describes as the world’s second-tallest skyscraper, and that it has around 150,000 units under construction valued at several tens of billions of US dollars.
Both are the company’s own claims. Read the pipeline alongside the delivery record rather than instead of it, and treat announced completion dates on the pipeline the same way you would treat any other Azizi date.
Is Azizi Developments Good to Buy From?
Anyone answering that with a flat yes or no is selling you something. Here is the honest shape of it.
Azizi builds at volume and it delivers. More than 45,000 homes, 53 of 75 Riviera buildings handed over as at August 2025, and a regular published cadence of handovers. If you are buying for the long term and you have flexibility on when you get the keys, that record is real.
If you need keys on a specific date, whether for a rental yield calculation, a relocation, or a financing structure that breaks if handover slips, treat the timing risk seriously and consider ready stock rather than off-plan. That is the trade, and it is a rational one to make as long as you know you are making it.
This is good practice with any Dubai developer.

Not on Azizi’s last published figures. In August 2025 the company stated that 53 of Riviera’s 75 buildings had been handed over, covering phases 1, 2 and 3 plus five buildings in phase 4, and that the remaining 22 were scheduled for completion up until Q2 2026. That quarter has now ended and we have found no announcement confirming completion. If you are buying into a remaining phase, ask for your specific building’s status on the DLD portal.

Azizi states more than 45,000 homes, delivered to local and international investors and end users of over 100 nationalities. That figure is the company’s own and is not independently audited.
Azizi delivers regularly and announces handovers as they happen. On timing, its own stated schedule for completing Riviera ran up until Q2 2026, which has now passed without a confirmation announcement. The practical approach is to treat any stated handover date as a target, confirm your building’s progress on the DLD portal, and make sure the delay compensation clause in your SPA is one you can live with.

Azizi states it is developing Burj Azizi and describes it as the world’s second-tallest skyscraper. Treat its completion date the way you would treat any announced date.
Confirm freehold status for your specific project with the Dubai Land Department rather than relying on a brochure or a portal. Off-plan buyer payments are required to go through RERA-regulated project escrow accounts. Ask for the escrow account details and the project registration number before you pay anything. That applies to every developer, not just Azizi.
