Azizi Developments to Showcase Flagship Portfolio at IREX Dubai 2026
Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, will participate in the International Real Estate Expo (IREX) 2026, taking place on the 7th and 8th of February at Anantara Downtown Dubai. One of the region’s most prominent property investment platforms, the event will serve as a stage for Azizi to present its diverse portfolio of residential, mixed-use, and master-planned developments across the emirate.
At IREX 2026, Azizi will showcase a selection of its most iconic projects from Booth B-02. Among the highlights is Azizi Riviera in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, a French Mediterranean–inspired waterfront destination; Azizi Venice in Dubai South, a lagoon-centric community anchored by culture and lifestyle; Azizi Milan, a AED 75 billion landmark development on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road; and Burj Azizi on Sheikh Zayed Road, set to become the world’s second-tallest tower. Together, these projects reflect the developer’s focus on delivering fully integrated communities that combine residential, retail, hospitality, and leisure offerings.
The developer’s presence at the expo will also highlight its wider footprint across key locations in Dubai, including Al Furjan, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Healthcare City, Studio City, Sports City, Downtown Jebel Ali, and other strategic growth corridors, reinforcing its position as one of the city’s most active private developers.
Mr. Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of Azizi Group, said: “IREX represents an important global forum for dialogue between investors, innovators, and industry leaders. Our participation reflects Azizi Group’s continued focus on scale, disciplined growth, and long-term value creation. With more than 45,000 units delivered and over 150,000 currently under construction, we continue to expand our portfolio of fully integrated lifestyle communities across Dubai, alongside landmark developments such as Burj Azizi, set to become the world’s second-tallest tower. Our approach remains centered on building enduring assets that contribute meaningfully to the evolution of global real estate.”
Azizi's presence at IREX forms part of its broader international outreach strategy, aimed at engaging with investors and partners worldwide while catalyzing Dubai's continued evolution as a premier property and investment hub. The developer will also exhibit at IREX India and IREX Singapore later this year.
At the forefront of its transformative projects is Burj Azizi, set to become the world’s second-tallest tower at 725 meters with 140 floors and scheduled for completion in 2029. Strategically located on Sheikh Zayed Road, directly opposite the Dubai World Trade Centre and adjacent to its metro station, this property is one of the only ones on this iconic corridor originally built as freehold. The development will feature 1,038 residences, including apartments, holiday homes, and 128 penthouses, alongside an all-suite seven-star hotel inspired by seven cultural themes and a seven-level luxury retail boulevard. With amenities including wellness and fitness centers, swimming pools, cinemas, the world’s highest hotel lobby, nightclub, and observation deck, as well as Dubai’s highest restaurant and hotel room, Burj Azizi will set a new benchmark for ultra-luxury integrated living.
Riviera is part of Azizi Developments’ award-winning portfolio. It is a stylish lifestyle destination comprising 75 mid- and high-rise buildings with approximately 16,000 residences. Designed to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, which is not merely about architectural art, but also about a certain ‘joie de vivre’ — a celebration of life, an exultation of spirit, Riviera represents a new landmark destination that is both residential and commercial, with an abundance of retail space. Riviera features 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, lush-green social space.
Azizi Venice comprises more than 36,000 residential units across 100+ apartment complexes and over 109 ultra-luxury mansions. Azizi Developments is taking on the role of master developer, in charge of constructing the buildings, roads, and all the infrastructure. Centered around a vast, swimable, crystal-blue lagoon that encircles its condominiums, villas, and mansions, Azizi Venice provides a picturesque setting for leisure, retail, and commercial spaces. A major attraction to be developed within Azizi Venice is The Cultural District, which will incorporate a collection of iconic facilities, including a 2,500-seat opera house, theatre, exhibition hall, and performing arts academy.
Azizi Milan, the group’s most ambitious masterplan to date, is guided by principles of sustainability, nature, and the aesthetic refinement of Italian fashion. At a total value exceeding AED 75 billion and spanning 40 million sq. ft. in GFA, it stands as one of the largest mixed-use communities in the country. With more than 80,000 residences, 800 hotel keys, and a dedicated fashion and retail district, it fuses Milanese design cues with Dubai’s growth model. The layout favors longevity - structured as a place to function, adapt, and last.
Azizi Developments’ Sales Gallery can be visited on the 13th floor of the Conrad Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
