Azizi Venice Apartments & Villas at Dubai South

Azizi Venice is a master-planned waterfront community in Dubai South a 336-acre development by Azizi Developments inspired by the architecture and canal lifestyle of Venice, Italy. The project sits adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport, within the Dubai South master community that is designated as a primary urban growth corridor under Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan. Azizi Developments, founded in 2007, has delivered thousands of homes across Dubai, with a portfolio spanning Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Healthcare City. Venice represents the company's largest and most ambitious single project, a mixed-use community with a total GFA of 2.17 million square metres across 100 mid-rise residential towers, 261 waterfront villas, 5-star hotels, retail, and community infrastructure.

Residences in Azizi Venice range from compact studios at 333 sq.ft to 3-bedroom apartments at up to 2,820 sq.ft, with prices from AED 764,000 for studios through to approximately AED 2.7 million for premium 3-bedroom units. Apartments feature open-plan living and dining areas, modern kitchens, spacious bedrooms, and private balconies with lagoon or canal views. Premium finishes include Calcutta marble flooring in select units, gold-brushed elevators, and premium wood panelling throughout common areas. Buildings range from G+10 to G+22 floors. The development also includes 261 waterfront villas and beach-facing mansions for buyers seeking a standalone residence within the community.

The defining feature of Azizi Venice is its 18-kilometre crystal lagoon 400,000 square metres of water, 1.5 metres deep, with artificial waves that replicate a genuine beach experience. The water component covers 23% of the entire development area. This is not a decorative water feature. It is a swimmable, tidal lagoon that functions as the community's central amenity. Surrounding the lagoon, 40 acres of parks and green spaces provide walkable recreation zones. The 700-metre retail and dining boulevard runs through the heart of the community, flanked by a 1,500-seat opera house, a teleférique cable car, a water park, and 950,000 square feet of convenience retail. A private hospital, K-12 school, nursery, and kindergarten sit within the master plan boundary.

Azizi Venice offers some of the most competitive entry pricing for waterfront property in Dubai. Studios from AED 764,000 and 1-bedroom units from approximately AED 1.1 million represent genuine value against the waterfront premium this community commands. Units valued at AED 2 million or more qualify for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. Dubai South has recorded 8-12% annual capital appreciation as Al Maktoum Airport expansion milestones are confirmed. Gross rental yields in the district range from 6% to 9%. The payment plan (10/40/50) keeps the construction-phase capital commitment manageable. UAE property investments carry 0% capital gains tax and 0% income tax on rental income. Buyer funds are RERA-protected in escrow throughout the construction cycle.
