The project will comprise more than 30,000 residential units, spread over 100 apartment complexes, and over 400 luxury villas and mansions
Azizi Developments has announced the launch of its new mixed-used development project in Dubai South.
The project called Azizi Venice, is as the name suggests inspired by Italy’s Venice.
The private developer in its release announced details of the upcoming luxury waterfront lifestyle community. The big reveal took place on Wednesday, September 27 at a launch event hosted in the renowned Coca-Cola Arena, City Walk that saw over 10,000 attendees and performances from the likes of Nancy Ajram.
Azizi Venice draws inspirations from its namesake
The mixed-use community is set entirely within a swimmable crystal-blue water lagoon, in the rapidly developing district of Dubai South.
Among its highlights, the community, which will boast 24 million square feet of GFA on a highly coveted 15-million-square-foot plot of land, will also feature a luxurious temperature-controlled pedestrianised boulevard and Dubai’s second opera, among a wide range of other lifestyle-enhancing amenities.
The world-renowned multi-disciplinary design firm AE7 serves as the consultant for Azizi Venice.
Azizi is taking on the role as the master developer, in charge of constructing the buildings, roads and all infrastructure of the large-sized, approximately Dhs30bn mixed-use development.
The project will comprise more than 30,000 residential units, spread over approximately 100 apartment complexes, as well as over 400 luxury villas and mansions.
The master-developer said Azizi Venice will be a one-of-a-kind development “distinguished by its enormous crystal-blue water lagoon, with multiple beaches, which surrounds all of its condominium buildings, villas, and mansions, as well as its extensive leisure, retail, and commercial space”.
The turquoise, desalinated, and filtered waters will be framed by beach-like shores, along with an 8 km-long cycling and jogging track, yoga and sports facilities, and a promenade with a vast variety of artisan eateries and boutiques.
Azizi Venice focuses on pedestrian-friendly infrastructure
The development will feature pedestrian-friendly boulevard, will be an open-air venue in the winter and glass-covered in the summer to ensure a temperature-controlled space with year-round activity and visitors.
Lined with three-storey buildings planned to host the world’s top retailers and brands, nightlife, and entertainment options, as well as eateries that represent a vast number of countries from across the world, Azizi Boulevard will represent a new and unique point of interest on Dubai’s map of outstanding sights, added the release.
The arts
Another major attraction to be developed within the community is Azizi Opera. Located at the heart of the boulevard, and built to the highest, most contemporary standards in design and architecture, it is planned to become one of the most notable venues for cultural and community events in Dubai.
Designed as a tourist attraction and high-end local hotspot, it is planned to welcome over 30,000 visitors on a daily basis. The opulent community will have its very own two Azizi-owned and operated five-star hotels at the entrances of the community, as well as one boutique hotel located on an island in the middle of the lagoon.
A large number of underground parking spaces will be constructed to grant tens of thousands of daily visitors easy access to Azizi Boulevard and Azizi Opera.
On the occasion of the announcement, Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, said: “Azizi Venice will truly be a one-of-a-kind community and destination – not just for Dubai but across the Middle East region. I am very pleased to be introducing Azizi Venice in Dubai. This community will become a wonderful home for around 80,000 residents and a fantastic tourist attraction for around 30,000 visitors daily.”
“I love Dubai and it is a great honour for us at Azizi Developments to be able to contribute to the realisation of the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to enrich the lives of the millions of people from around the world who are now calling Dubai their home”, Azizi added.
Families in focus
Moreover, the community will have a strong focus on children, with a wide range of amenities being designed specifically for them, along with numerous safe areas where they can roam and play freely.
The community will boast several lighting features on building façades and beyond, as well as musical and dancing water fountains.
Once complete, it will feature its own full-service hospital, kindergarten, schools for grades 1 to high school, and a 4 km-long aesthetically designed and landscaped main road that will be flanked by additional eatery and shopping options.
Azizi Venice, which will be part of Dubai South’s prestigious Golf District, is strategically positioned in the emirate’s growth corridor, with Dubai speedily expanding towards the south. Situated alongside Emirates Road (E611), built to link the emirates together while also providing convenient access points to Dubai’s other major highways and various points of interest, the plot of land is among the best connected in the southern part of the emirate.
With just a five-minute drive to the Al Maktoum International Airport, also known as Dubai World Central DWC, and few minutes away from the VIP Terminal, the community is well positioned for a luxury community to be developed.
