Dubai, UAE — Dubai’s real estate market is entering a phase where execution credibility matters as much as launch momentum, particularly for developers carrying multi-year, capital-intensive pipelines. As Dubai’s development cycle shifts from rapid launches to large-scale execution, Azizi Developments is taking its active pipeline to global investors at IREX 2026, highlighting both scale and delivery visibility.
The developer will participate in IREX 2026 on 7–8 February at Anantara Downtown Dubai, using the platform to present a cross-section of its residential, mixed-use and master-planned developments. The event is positioned as one of the region’s established international real estate investment forums, drawing institutional and high-net-worth capital from multiple geographies.
What Azizi is Presenting
At the exhibition, Azizi will showcase projects including Riviera in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Venice in Dubai South, Milan on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and Burj Azizi on Sheikh Zayed Road, according to the developer.

Collectively, the portfolio spans urban infill, master-planned communities and landmark vertical developments. Azizi also highlighted its presence across multiple growth corridors, including Al Furjan, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Healthcare City, Studio City, Sports City and Downtown Jebel Ali.
The emphasis on breadth appears designed to position Azizi not as a single-project developer, but as a system-scale operator active across different price bands, geographies and delivery timelines.
Scale as a Confidence Signal
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of Azizi Group, said the company has delivered more than 45,000 units and currently has over 150,000 units under construction.
Those figures place Azizi among the most active private developers in Dubai by volume. For investors, such scale cuts both ways: it signals execution capability, but also increases exposure to construction timing, contractor performance, and absorption risk as supply peaks later this decade.
Azizi’s decision to foreground delivery statistics at an international forum suggests an awareness that pipeline transparency has become a differentiator as Dubai’s market matures.
Burj Azizi as a Capital Anchor
A central feature of Azizi’s IREX narrative is Burj Azizi, a 725-metre tower scheduled for completion in 2029. Planned to include 1,038 residences, branded hospitality, and large-format retail, the project is positioned as a long-cycle asset rather than a short-term sales play.
Its location on Sheikh Zayed Road — opposite the Dubai World Trade Centre and adjacent to a metro station — places it within one of Dubai’s most constrained and visible corridors. From an investor standpoint, Burj Azizi functions less as a standalone product and more as a brand and balance-sheet signal, intended to anchor Azizi’s global positioning.
However, its late-decade delivery also aligns with a period when Dubai will be managing a substantial volume of handovers, making execution discipline and phased absorption critical.
Master-Planned Exposure and Timing Risk
Projects such as Riviera, Venice and Milan together represent tens of thousands of residential units delivered over multiple years. Riviera alone comprises approximately 16,000 residences, while Venice and Milan extend into significantly larger master-planned formats.

Market data from platforms such as DXB Interact and broker research shows that large master-planned communities typically absorb more gradually, with pricing and rental performance stabilising only after critical mass is reached.
Azizi’s use of IREX — and its planned participation in IREX India and Singapore later in the year — reflects a strategy to diversify demand sources rather than rely solely on domestic or GCC buyers as supply expands.
Investor Considerations
For investors, particularly Indian and NRI buyers, Azizi’s portfolio presents exposure to:
- Long-dated delivery cycles (2027–2029)
- Large-scale communities where exit liquidity depends on phased maturity
- Landmark assets that prioritise capital preservation over near-term yield
While global outreach can support absorption, final outcomes will depend on construction progress, service charge management, and secondary-market depth once units are delivered.
What to Watch Next
Beyond IREX, investors will monitor:
- Construction milestones across Azizi’s largest master-planned projects
- Sales velocity relative to announced delivery schedules
- How pricing is managed as competing supply enters the market through 2027–2029
Azizi’s continued visibility on international platforms suggests confidence in its long-cycle strategy, but the market will ultimately judge performance at handover, not launch.
