The goal of Azizi Developments is to construct a 725-meter-tall skyscraper on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, which will eventually be the second-tallest building in the world. And not too far from the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest structure at 828 meters.
Today, the tower’s height was formally declared.
The “Burj Azizi,” a freehold residential tower, will have more than 131 stories and residential apartment sales are slated to begin in February 2025. The primary contractor will be revealed shortly, and Azizi anticipates finishing in 2028. The precise number of freehold apartments that will be made available is still pending.
A retail center and an all-suite hotel component “inspired by seven cultural themes” will also be present.
The location is directly next to the metro station for the World Trade Center. September 2022 marked the purchase of the plot by Azizi.
The chairman of the project, Mirwais Azizi, stated that the Dh6 billion plus project “represents more than just the creation of an iconic structure— it is a commitment to transforming Sheikh Zayed Road and elevating Dubai’s skyline to new, unparalleled heights.”
It was said at the time of the plot purchase that the chairman would consider this to be his “dream project.”
Apart from the 725-metre target, the new tower aims to build:
level 11 of the tallest hotel lobby in the world;
the tallest observation deck at level 130 and the tallest nightclub at level 126;
Level 122 of the tallest restaurant in Dubai; and
Level 118 is the highest hotel room in Dubai.
Dubai’s new set of super-skyscrapers
Burj Azizi opens for business at a moment when the Dubai real estate market has welcomed a new wave of striking skyscrapers, most notably the Uptown Tower and the One Za’abeel development.
