Azizi Riviera Dubai: Sources and Prices Guide (2026)

Azizi Riviera Dubai is the original, multi-building Riviera community by Azizi Developments in Meydan, within Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and the developer’s project page prints a “From” price of AED 1.22 million, about USD 331,926 at the pegged rate of 3.6725 dirhams per US dollar.

This profile reads the developer’s page as recorded in the data file of 13 November 2026, four Zawya and TradeArabia releases and one listing-site page read the same day. The sources do not describe the same thing: one speaks of a community of 75 buildings with several phases, another lists a single sold-out project. Each figure is therefore shown with its source and date, no source is declared right, and the page ends with a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing.

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

The project page of the developer gives the location as Meydan, Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), with the community label “Meydan – Riviera”. Its page title reads “Riviera, MBR City”, while the copy calls the scheme Azizi Riviera. The unit line on the page reads studio, 1 and 3 bedrooms, and the amenity list names a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a private garage, an outdoor play area, a boulevard styled on the French Riviera and a crystal lagoon.

The page does not print a handover date, a construction percentage, a unit count, floor counts, a tenure type or a payment plan. The data file also records an internal status label of “Under Development” in the page’s embedded data, which the visible page does not show. A short statement of what is missing is part of the facts here, not a criticism: Azizi publishes progress for this community in press releases, building by building, rather than on the project page.

The Riviera community is larger than any one listing. Azizi’s figures, as reported by TradeArabia on 16 July 2026, are 75 mid- and high-rise buildings and 16,000 residences across the whole community. Two further Azizi pages cover separate parts of it: Azizi Riviera Reve and Azizi Riviera Beachfront. This profile follows the main Riviera page only.

Azizi Riviera Dubai status and prices today: developer page against the listing site

The developer page prints “From AED 1.22M”; the underlying data field holds AED 1,219,000, and no unit type, floor or building is attached to it. At the peg, 1,219,000 divided by 3.6725 gives about USD 331,926. It is a starting figure and not an offer for a named unit. The page shows no “sold out” marker and no “book now” button, and the same page lists no sizes or per-type prices.

Property Finder, read on 13 November 2026, describes the same project differently. It labels it “Sold out” and “Ready”, says the developer’s stock is out, and shows 100 percent construction progress last updated on 25 July 2024. It also prints two starting prices on one page, AED 570,000 in the header and AED 561,000 in the price section, with a note that prices may change. These are listing-site indications, not Azizi prices, and they refer to units the site marks as out of stock.

Both readings are shown in the table below without choosing one. A page that says “from AED 1.22M” and a portal that says “sold out” can both be accurate for different buildings, different phases or different dates, and the two cannot be reconciled from public pages alone. A buyer would ask which building and which unit numbers are on offer today, which is covered in the checklist further down.

The sizes the listing site prints are shown below, converted at 1 sq ft = 0.092903 m2. The listing site marks every one of these types as out of stock, so the table records what was printed and does not describe units that can be reserved.

Progress is easier to follow building by building. According to a Zawya release that carries no date on the page (Albawaba reported the same release on 31 March 2026, per the data file, and that page could not be opened here), Riviera 69 and Beachfront I were handed over together: 112 units in Riviera 69, a ten-storey building with 11 retail outlets, and 555 residences in Beachfront I, one of three 20-storey towers, 667 residences in all.

The release gives Phase 4 as 74 percent complete and Riviera 69 as the eighth completed Phase 4 building, and says more buildings follow in the coming months without a number. A second Zawya release, also undated, reports the handover of Riviera 55 and prints no unit count.

Dates and counts therefore differ between sources and stay as printed.

One older figure appears in the data file: 53 of 75 buildings handed over, in an Azizi update dated August 2025 as quoted by a search summary that was not opened. It is not repeated as a current total, because the March 2026 release and the August 2025 figure count different things and no up-to-date total was found.

Community and access in Meydan, MBR City

Azizi Riviera Dubai sits in Meydan. Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City) is a district of Dubai; the Wikipedia entry gives its general background. The developer places Riviera in Meydan and describes it as a waterside community with a crystal lagoon, close to Downtown Dubai. Zawya describes the lagoon as swimmable and 2.7 km long, and a Zawya release on Riviera 55 adds that it covers more than 130,000 square metres.

The drive times below are printed on the developer page and are not independently measured. The page also lists a “Metro Gold Line (future)” at one minute: it is a planned line, and the figure is shown here only with that label.

Two map positions are recorded for the project. The developer’s project data gives 25.17363 N, 55.30772 E, and the community record in the same data gives 25.16066 N, 55.30906 E; the two points are about 1.4 km apart.

Because the project page does not print a sub-plot, it is the contract and the plot plan that identify where a specific building stands. Drive times depend on the building and on traffic, and a buyer can measure the route from the exact plot on a map at the time of viewing.

The amenities listed by the developer are the pool, fitness centre, private garage, outdoor play area, the boulevard and the lagoon, together with beachside living, outdoor dining, retail outlets, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, and laundry and car-wash services. The developer text does not say which of these belong to each building and which are shared community facilities, and the listing sites differ on the same point. The service-charge basis for shared facilities is another item for 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.

The arithmetic of the registration fee is simple: 4 percent of the developer’s “From” figure of AED 1,219,000 is AED 48,760, about USD 13,277. That is a calculation on a starting price, not a quote for any unit, and the sale contract and the DLD page set the actual amounts and who pays them.

A payment schedule should follow construction. The sources give no schedule for the developer page, and the listing site prints 10, 20 and 70 percent. Whichever plan applies, the contract shows the amounts and dates, and the escrow account is where the instalments go. Whether the project is registered, and what its status is, can be checked in the DLD project status service named in the sources.

On residence, the rule above is stated as the authority prints it, and no eligibility is claimed for any unit here. The developer’s starting figure of AED 1,219,000 is below AED 2,000,000, and whether one unit, or several together, meet the capital rule is a question for the authority. The guide to the Dubai Golden Visa sets out the application.

On taxes, the UAE portal says the country does not levy income tax on individuals and its taxation page does not mention a property tax; service charges and any municipal fees are separate and should be asked for in writing. The property tax guide and the mortgage guide cover those topics in general.

About the developer: Azizi Developments

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

In a release of 15 September 2026, Azizi states that it has delivered more than 45,000 homes and has more than 150,000 units under construction at various stages, and that it handed over seven projects in 2026 up to that date with ten more targeted by December 2026. These are portfolio-wide figures and say nothing specific about Riviera.

The company timeline lists the 2017 launch of Azizi Riviera at Meydan One among earlier projects and the earlier Al Furjan community among its handed-over developments. Every figure here is the developer’s own statement, not an audited number, and is reported only as such.

What to ask for and check in writing before reserving

Because the developer page and a listing site disagree on stock and status for Azizi Riviera Dubai, written confirmation matters more here than for a single-building project. A buyer can ask for the following before paying a reservation.

1. The exact building name or number and the unit number being offered, with the floor and 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 building 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 in the DLD project status service.
5. The registration of the sale in Oqood and the date it will be done, with a receipt for the fees paid.
6. The tenure type (freehold or other) for that plot and what the title will say.
7. A service-charge estimate for the building and shared community, and who manages it.
8. What the finish includes: flooring, kitchen, appliances, fittings, parking space and any storage.
9. The legal name of the party that signs the contract and its trade licence details.

Frequently asked questions

What is Azizi Riviera Dubai?

It is the main Riviera community by Azizi Developments in Meydan, MBR City. The community is reported at 75 buildings and 16,000 residences, and parts of it are delivered building by building. The developer’s page lists studio, 1 and 3 bedroom apartments, a lagoon and a French Riviera-inspired boulevard.

What is the starting price of Azizi Riviera Dubai?

The developer page prints “From AED 1.22M” (AED 1,219,000), about USD 331,926 at 3.6725. A listing site prints AED 570,000 and AED 561,000 for units it marks as out of stock. Both are attributed figures, not offers.

Is Azizi Riviera Dubai sold out or available?

The sources disagree. Property Finder labels it “Sold out” and “Ready” as of 13 November 2026, while the developer page prints a “From” price and no sold-out marker. Written confirmation of the specific building and unit decides it.

When is the handover?

The developer page prints no handover date. Press releases report individual buildings such as Riviera 69 and Riviera 55 as handed over, and the listing site gives July 2024 and Q3 2024. The contract date is the one that binds.

Does the project qualify for the Golden Visa?

No eligibility is claimed here. The UAE portal lists a property route with a minimum of AED 2 million, and the authority decides whether a unit or units meet it.

What fees apply when registering a unit?

The DLD page lists 2 percent for the seller and 2 percent for the purchaser, plus small fixed fees. The contract states who pays what.
