Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai: Sources and Prices (2026)

Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai is the Beachfront sub-project of the Riviera community by Azizi Developments in Meydan, within Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and the developer’s project page prints a “From” price of AED 1.26 million, which is about USD 342,682 at the pegged rate of 3.6725 dirhams per US dollar.

This profile compares what the developer page prints with what other sources print: an Azizi press release of 8 December 2025 (syndicated by TradeArabia), a trade report of 6 April 2026, Propsearch and Property Finder. The sources disagree on the number of towers, the number of storeys, the number of units and the status of the buildings. Each figure is therefore shown with its source and date, no source is declared right, and the page closes with a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing.

Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai: what the project is and what each source prints

The developer page names the project “Riviera Beachfront” and places it in Meydan, MBR City, with the community label “Meydan – Riviera”. Press and listing sites use other names for the same thing: “Beachfront I”, “Riviera Beachfront” and “Riviera Beach Front”. The page lists studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, retail, and a set of amenities: direct beach access on the crystal lagoon, a boulevard in a French Riviera style, boutique shops, restaurants, a large infinity pool, an indoor and outdoor playground, a gymnasium, a zen garden, a barbecue seating area, laundry facilities and car washing.

The page prints no handover date, no construction percentage, no unit count, no floor count and no payment plan. The page’s embedded data carries the status label “Under Development”. That is a statement of what the page does not print, not a criticism: Azizi reports progress for this community in press releases, building by building. One more note on the data: the amenity paragraph on the developer page also names the neighbouring Rêve project, so it appears to have been reused from that page, and it is not repeated here as a feature of this one.

Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai sits beside two other Azizi pages in the same community: Azizi Riviera Reve and the main Azizi Riviera page. They describe different buildings, and each is read separately here.

Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai status and prices today: developer page against third parties

The developer page prints “From AED 1.26M” for Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai, and the underlying data field holds AED 1,258,500. At the peg, 1,258,500 divided by 3.6725 gives about USD 342,682. No unit type, floor or tower is attached to the figure, so it is a starting figure and not an offer for a named unit. The page shows no per-square-foot price and none is calculated here.

Property Finder, read on 13 November 2026, prints a launch price of AED 1.3 million in its header and AED 1,260,000 in its frequently asked questions. Other listing sites quote other starting figures; they are not reproduced because they could not be tied to a dated page. The table converts the printed figures at the same rate.

The status question is harder than the price question. The developer page shows no “sold out” marker and no handover wording. The Azizi release of 8 December 2025 gave Beachfront I as 94 percent complete, with tiling and air conditioning at 98 percent, mechanical, electrical and plumbing at 94 percent, the facade at 96 percent, elevators at 95 percent, finishes at 90 percent, the pool at 90 percent and external works at 75 percent, and it put the workforce at 2,700.

ME Construction News then reported on 6 April 2026 that Beachfront I had been handed over on the same day as Riviera 69, a ten-storey building of 112 units with 11 retail outlets, giving 667 residences between the two.

Propsearch, with a page update date of 18 August 2026, still reads “Under development” and lists progress of 46 percent in January 2025, 70 percent in August 2025 and 81 percent in October 2025. It does not confirm a handover. Property Finder reads “Ready” in its header and describes the project as under construction in its text.

These are different readings made at different dates, and they cannot be merged from public pages. For Beachfront II and III no source found gives a date or a handover report.

Sale records quoted by third parties give a rough sense of price levels for individual units, but they are listing-site indications, not Azizi prices, and the sources do not say whether each unit was bought from the developer or from an earlier owner.

Propsearch shows only seven of the 50 sale records it says it holds, and it dates its latest entries after its own update date, so the table is a sample and not a full picture. Areas are converted at 1 sq ft = 0.092903 m2.

The size ranges printed by the sources also differ. Property Finder gives studios of 338 and 396 sq ft in its description (about 31.4 and 36.8 m2), one-bedroom units of 642 and 931 sq ft in the description and 955 to 956 sq ft in the units section (about 59.6, 86.5 and 88.7 to 88.8 m2), and two-bedroom units of 1,006 and 1,128 sq ft (about 93.5 and 104.8 m2). Propsearch gives studios of about 337 to 396 sq ft. The developer page prints no sizes.

The payment plan is another point where sources differ. Property Finder prints 10 percent at the sales launch, 20 percent during construction and 70 percent on handover, with a government fee of 4 percent.

Applied to the developer’s starting figure for illustration only, that split would be AED 125,850, AED 251,700 and AED 880,950 (about USD 34,268, USD 68,536 and USD 239,877). A second listing set quotes a different split, and the developer page prints none, so the schedule that binds is the one written into the sale contract.

Community and access in Meydan, MBR City

The project lies in Meydan, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, a district of Dubai. The developer places the project on a swimmable crystal lagoon, which the Azizi release of 8 December 2025 gives as 2.7 km long, with each building on the shore and direct beach access. The same release lists swimming pools, landscaped surroundings, gyms, barbecue areas, children’s playgrounds and games, and yoga spaces; the developer page lists a similar set, as shown in section 1.

The drive times below are those printed on the developer page, which are the developer’s own estimates and have not been independently measured. They depend on traffic and on the exact tower, and a buyer can measure the route from the plot on a map at the time of viewing.

The developer text also says Jumeirah Beach and Downtown Dubai are about a ten-minute drive away, which matches the Downtown line in the table. The page does not state whether the lagoon-side retail and restaurants are inside the Beachfront plots or elsewhere in Riviera, so the wording “within walking distance” is reported only as the developer’s description.

Two map positions are recorded on the developer page. The project point is 25.17413 N, 55.31136 E and the community record is 25.16066 N, 55.30906 E. They are about 1.5 km apart, and the data file does not reconcile them. Because the page names no plot number, the contract and the plot plan are what identify where a specific tower stands, and a buyer can ask for the plot number in writing.

A last point on the community: the developer text describes the wider Riviera as a French Mediterranean-inspired waterfront district. How many of its facilities are shared among all buildings, and how many belong to one tower, is not stated in the sources, so the service-charge basis for shared facilities is one of the items in the written list below.

Buying off-plan in Dubai: registration, escrow, fees and the Golden Visa rule

The steps below come from official Dubai Land Department (DLD) and UAE government pages read on 13 November 2026. Rules change, so each page should be read again before a contract is signed. The guides on foreign buyers in Dubai, freehold and leasehold and off-plan purchases cover the wider picture.

For Azizi Riviera Beachfront Dubai, the 4 percent registration share applied to the developer’s starting figure of AED 1,258,500 is AED 50,340, about USD 13,707. That is arithmetic on a starting price, not a quote for any unit; the contract and the DLD page decide who pays which part.

A payment schedule should follow construction. The developer prints none for this project, so the schedule comes from the contract, and the instalments should go into the escrow account named in it. Whether the project is registered and in what state can be checked with the DLD, using the project number that a buyer asks for in writing. No DLD project number or RERA registration for Beachfront was found in the sources read for this page, so it is listed as an open item rather than a finding.

On residence, the rule is stated as the authority prints it, and no eligibility is claimed for any unit here. The developer’s starting figure is below AED 2,000,000 (AED 2,000,000 is about USD 544,588 at 3.6725), and whether one unit, or several together, meet the capital rule is a question for the authority. The Dubai Golden Visa guide describes the application. On taxes, the guides on property tax in Dubai and mortgages for foreigners give the general picture, and service charges and any municipal fees are separate and are asked for in writing.

About the developer: Azizi Developments

Azizi Developments is a Dubai developer. Its legacy page dates the start of its property business to 2007 and calls it a private developer in the UAE. An Azizi press release of 16 October 2026 names Mirwais Azizi as founder and chairman of Azizi Group and Farhad Azizi as group CEO.

In a release of 15 September 2026 the company states that it has delivered more than 45,000 homes to investors and end-users of over 100 nationalities, that it has more than 150,000 units under construction at various stages, and that it handed over seven projects in 2026 up to that date and aims for ten more by December 2026. These are portfolio-wide figures and say nothing specific about Beachfront. The company timeline lists the 2017 launch of Azizi Riviera at Meydan One and earlier communities such as Al Furjan. Every figure in this section is the developer’s own statement, not an audited number.

What to ask for and check in writing before reserving

Because the sources for this project differ on towers, floors, units and status, written confirmation matters more than for a single-building project. A buyer can ask for the following before paying a reservation.

1. The exact tower name or number and the unit number offered, with the floor and the size in square feet and square metres.
2. The sale and purchase agreement showing the unit number, the price in dirhams and the handover date written into the contract.
3. Whether the unit is in a tower already handed over or in one still under construction, with a dated progress statement.
4. The payment schedule, the escrow account name and bank, and the DLD project number, checked with the DLD.
5. The Oqood registration of the sale, with its date and a receipt for the fees paid.
6. The tenure type for the plot and what the title will say.
7. A service-charge estimate for the tower and for shared lagoon-side facilities, and who manages them.
8. What the finish includes: flooring, kitchen, appliances, fittings, parking space and storage.
9. The legal name of the party that signs the contract and its trade licence details.
