Overview

Burj Azizi is an off-plan, mixed-use tower by Azizi Developments on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. CTBUH's Skyscraper Center lists it as under construction with an architectural height of 725 m, 133 floors above ground, serviced apartment, hotel and residential use, and AE7 as architect and structural engineer. Gardinia Contracting is the main contractor; MEED describes it as a subsidiary of Azizi Developments. In April 2026 Azizi awarded Eversendai Corporation an AED 1.1 billion structural steel contract. In a May 2026 press release Azizi said work was advancing on the 5 m thick raft foundation and a nine-level basement automated car park, with 750 workers on site daily. No construction progress percentage has been published in the sources read.

Sources disagree on several facts. Floor counts range from 122 to 140 (CTBUH and Wikipedia 133; MEED, The National and Gulf News 131; Azizi's 2026 releases 140). Completion has been reported as 2028 (2024 and 2025 articles), 2029 (Azizi's February 2026 release and MEED, April 2026) and 2030 (CTBUH; a Property Finder listing gives August 2030). The developer's own February 2026 release gives a starting price of AED 4.97 million for apartments (one to three bedrooms, plus penthouses); a Property Finder listing shows higher figures and Gulf News reported AED 7.5 million in February 2025. No DLD registration number or transaction record was found.

Expert analysis

Mr Amlak's reading of the sources listed on this page. It is not a rating or an opinion of the Dubai Land Department.

Strengths

Construction evidence is documented by more than one party: CTBUH lists the project as under construction with a named main contractor (Gardinia) and architect/structural engineer (AE7), MEED reports an AED 1.1 billion steel contract awarded in April 2026, and Azizi reports raft foundation and car park works with 750 workers on site in May 2026. The 725 m architectural height is the same in CTBUH, Gulf News and Azizi's releases.

Based on: CTBUH status, contractor, consultant, 725 m; MEED AED 1.1bn steel contract (2026-04-14); Azizi release 750 workers (2026-05-07).

Weaknesses

The completion date has no stable value: 2028 in 2024 and early 2025 articles, 2029 in Azizi's February 2026 release and in MEED (April 2026), and 2030 in CTBUH and a Property Finder listing (August 2030). No source read gives a progress percentage, so the date cannot be checked against measured progress. Floor counts also range from 122 to 140.

Based on: Expected completion rows: The National 2028 (2024-09-04), Gulf News 2028 (2025-02-18), Azizi 2029 (2026-02-24), MEED 2029 (2026-04-14), CTBUH 2030, Property Finder Aug 2030; floors 122 to 140.

Investment opportunities

The scheme combines residential units, an all-suite hotel, retail and an observation deck in one tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, per the developer. This mix is planned and unbuilt, so it only matters if the hotel and public floors are delivered as announced; no operator for the hotel was found.

Based on: Azizi releases of 2026-02-24 and 2026-05-07: residential, hotel, retail, observation deck level 130.

Investment risks

This is an off-plan tower with no DLD project number found and no published progress percentage. The main contractor, Gardinia Contracting, is described by MEED as a subsidiary of the developer, so developer and contractor are related parties; whether buyer funds are held in an escrow account was not found in the sources read. Azizi's claims (140 floors, 2029 completion, record-height amenities) are the developer's own and are not independently confirmed. A buyer would need to check the DLD/RERA registration and escrow status directly.

Based on: MEED: Gardinia is a subsidiary of Azizi Developments (2026-04-14); no DLD project number or progress percent in any source read.

Market reading

Starting prices differ by source and date: AED 4.97 million (Azizi release, 24 Feb 2026, apartments from one bedroom), AED 7.5 million (Gulf News, 18 Feb 2025), and AED 8.83 to 9.33 million on a Property Finder listing (undated). No DLD sale records, resale transactions or per-sq-ft medians were found, so there is no measured market price for the building yet.

Based on: starting_price rows: Al Bawaba 4,970,000 (2026-02-24); Gulf News 7,500,000 (2025-02-18); Property Finder 8,825,000 and 9,331,000.

Conclusion

Burj Azizi is under construction (CTBUH, Azizi May 2026 release) with 725 m height, a named main contractor and a large steel contract, but with no published progress percentage and completion dates that moved from 2028 to 2029 or 2030 depending on the source. Starting prices run from AED 4.97 million (developer, 2026) to above AED 8.8 million (portal), and no market transaction data exists yet. Floors (122 to 140) and unit sizes also differ between sources. This is Mr Amlak's reading of the listed sources, not a DLD rating.
