Azizi Venice Dubai: Sources, Prices and Handover (2026)

Azizi Venice Dubai is a waterfront community of apartment buildings in Dubai South that Azizi Developments launched for sale in October 2023, and this guide reads what the developer, its press releases, three portals and a newspaper print about it as of 13 November 2026.

It shows the handover, price, payment-plan and unit-count figures from each source with their dates, adds Azizi’s building-by-building construction percentages, the Dubai rules for off-plan buyers from official pages, and a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing before reserving.

Overview of Azizi Venice Dubai

The developer’s project page for Azizi Venice Dubai lists a Crystal Lagoon community in Dubai South with studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, and prints the words From AED 758K, about USD 206,400 at the pegged rate of 3.6725 per USD. The same page prints no handover date and no construction percentage, so every date and percentage in this guide comes from a press release or a portal and carries its own source and date.

This guide to Azizi Venice Dubai was assembled on 13 November 2026 from the developer’s page as it stood in the data file of that day, six developer press releases, Property Finder, Dubizzle, Bayut and Gulf News, which were re-opened on the same day. The developer’s own site sits behind a bot checkpoint that returned no content to a plain request on 13 November 2026, so its figures are marked as read in the data file and are not presented as freshly re-read.

The facts differ by source in several places: the handover quarter, the starting price, the payment plan, the number of units and the length of the lagoon. In each case the guide shows every figure with its source and date in a table and does not pick one. Developer marketing claims are left out, as are superlatives.

The sections run from the key facts through the building-by-building construction percentages that Azizi has published, unit sizes, prices, payment plans, the community plan, distances, the Dubai rules for off-plan buyers, and a list of what to ask for in writing before reserving a unit.

What each source prints about status, handover, units and price

Six developer press releases, three portals and one newspaper article speak about this project, and no two of them give the same handover wording. The first table lists the status and handover entries in date order where a date is printed, with the date of the source beside each. A date range such as Q4 2026 is shown as printed, not narrowed.

Read together, the entries show a range of wording: a 2023 aim stated by the chief executive, a Q1 2026 schedule for three buildings in October 2025, percentages in April 2026, and Q4 2026 on portals. A handover date that binds a buyer is the one written into the sale and purchase agreement for a specific unit, which is why the handover clause is the second item in the list of written requests in section 10.

The units and scale entries differ as well. The second table sets them side by side. Each figure comes from the source named beside it and the guide does not choose among them.

The differences do not all concern the same thing. The unit counts describe the whole masterplan, while a unit that a buyer is offered sits in one numbered building. Property Finder’s own pages differ too: its main page says one building and its Venice 9 page says two.

Construction percentages published by Azizi, building by building

Azizi publishes per-building completion percentages for this project, and two press releases carry them. The releases are dated 15 October 2025 and 28 April 2026, and the second table of this section lines them up. A percentage in a press release is the developer’s own statement; the Dubai Land Department’s project record, described in section 9, is the official place to look for an audited figure.

Three observations follow from the table, all arithmetic on the printed numbers.

First, the April 2026 release prints separate percentages for only three buildings, and a range of 42 to 56 for five others (Venice 4, 5, 8, 9 and 13), so a row by row comparison is possible only for Venice 1, 2 and 3.

Second, the overall figure rose from 29 to 39 across the 6.5 months between the two releases, which is ten percentage points. Third, the October 2025 release also quotes an earlier 36% for buildings 1 to 5, 8 and 9, a different group from the 14-building figure, and the two should not be compared.

The percentages also sit beside other construction facts. In the Doka formwork release of 6 April 2026, Azizi describes towers of 10 to 22 storeys and a floor-to-floor cycle of about six days. On 14 August 2026 it announced around-the-clock construction at the site and named Gardinia, a company it describes as its dedicated construction partner. The Mertoglu release of 9 January 2026 names the supplier of play equipment. None of these gives a handover date.

Portals show other percentages. Dubizzle’s page for Venice 1 prints 67% completed and Q4 2026, undated, while the April 2026 press release prints 64% for the same building. The two are different figures from different dates and they are shown as such. Property Finder’s building pages carry no percentages in the text read on 13 November 2026.

A reader who needs one number for one unit should look for the project and building registration in the Dubai Land Department data, where the fields include project number, escrow account number and a completed percentage, and then ask the developer which building the unit belongs to. The unit’s building number matters because the percentages above differ by 63 points between Venice 3 (66) and Venice 12 (3) in the October 2025 release.

The Azizi press page for each release was read in the data file; the pages sit behind the same bot checkpoint and returned no content to a plain request on 13 November 2026, so the figures are cited as read in the data file.

Unit types and sizes by source

Sizes come only from portals and from one developer FAQ passage; the developer’s visible project text prints unit types and no areas. All areas below are in square feet as printed, because no source prints square metres and the guide does not convert them. Where a range appears for one type, the sources are listed separately because they describe different buildings or different stock.

Two points about the table. Property Finder’s main page labels its 1,451 to 1,715 sq ft type as a three-bedroom villa in one place and lists it among apartments in another, so the guide treats the three-bedroom type as stated by the developer page (apartments) and records the portal wording as a difference. Second, the developer’s page says villas are part of the plan, but the villas and mansions sold under the separate name Monaco Mansions are a different project, covered on its own listing page.

The retail units are a separate product. The developer’s retail page, read for the data file, prints a 377 sq ft shop from AED 1.14 million, about USD 310,400, and a Register button. This guide covers the residential buildings; retail terms, including the tenure and the service charges for shops, are a separate question for the developer.

No source prints per-square-foot prices for the developer’s own stock, and the guide does not compute them. A buyer comparing offers should ask for the full price, the unit number and the area in the contract, and divide them personally if a comparison is wanted.

Price and availability: the developer’s from-price and the portals

The developer’s project page prints “From AED 758K” with a Register your interest button, as read in the data file on 13 November 2026. Property Finder’s main page, read the same day, prints “Launch price 747K AED” and the label Sold out, with the note that the developer project is out of stock. These are two public statements that do not match, and the guide does not say that a unit is available or that it is sold out.

A from-price on a developer page and a launch price on a portal are also different kinds of figure. The first is a starting figure the developer presents now; the second is the price at launch, which for sales that began on 3 or 13 October 2023 is more than three years old. The table lists every price in AED as printed, with the USD figure worked out at the pegged rate of 3.6725 per USD.

The developer page prints its figure in AED. It is the from-price for the project, about USD 206,400, and not the price of a named unit; the unit type behind it is not stated on the page. The data file also records a still lower figure on an aggregator, and the guide leaves it out because it is unverified.

The data file also contains resale transaction samples on Property Finder with dates in July and August 2026. These are prices paid between private parties for single units, not developer prices, and they are not used here. Property Finder’s main page also lists 692 resale properties for the project on 13 November 2026, which is the portal’s figure for resale listings and says nothing about the developer’s own stock.

When Property Finder reports a project as sold out and the developer page shows a from-price, a buyer can ask the sales office in writing which buildings and unit types are open and on what date that answer applies, and keep the reply with the reservation papers.

Payment plans, tenure and fees as printed

The portals print three different schedules. Each belongs to a specific page and building, and none comes from the developer’s own project text, which describes no plan beyond the register button. The first column of the table gives the split as printed, in per cent of the price, and the last gives the page.

One entry deserves a note. The Property Finder Venice 9 page describes the last 50% as “post handover”, while the main page describes the last 50% as due on handover. Both are quoted exactly as printed. What binds a buyer is the payment schedule annexed to the sale and purchase agreement, with dates or construction stages for each instalment, and the escrow account named in it.

On tenure, Property Finder lists the project as freehold and the Bayut FAQ says it is a freehold area. The developer page prints no tenure. Law No. 7 of 2006 allows non-UAE nationals to hold freehold ownership in areas determined by the Ruler of Dubai, and the Dubai Land Department’s project registration service states that the land must lie in freehold or long-term lease areas, so the area status can be confirmed on the project’s registration record.

The service charge and the project number are items to ask for rather than to estimate. No figure for this project was found, so the estimate is a document to request in writing.

The community plan as published: lagoon, boulevard, cultural district and services

Most of what the developer says about the project concerns the community around the buildings. The statements below are Azizi’s, taken from its press releases and its project page, and they describe plans unless a source says that an element is built. The guide does not repeat the adjectives that accompany them.

The developer’s project page also lists building amenities: a pool, a gym, a multipurpose hall, a cinema room, a kids’ play area, a clubhouse, an elevated lagoon, an outdoor jacuzzi and spa zone, indoor gardens and elevated entertainment.

Three points about reading the plan. First, a lagoon of 18 km and a lagoon of 700 m are very different things, and the two figures come from the same developer in different texts, so the length is a question for the master-plan documents. Second, the opera house design credit differs by source, as shown in section 2. Third, the community figures describe the whole 136 hectares, while a buyer’s unit sits in one numbered building whose own handover date matters more.

Whether the cultural district, the hotels, the schools and the hospital will exist when a given building is handed over is not stated in any source, and a buyer who is counting on a facility can ask which of these items are contractual obligations of the developer and which are descriptions of the masterplan. The wording of the contract decides which descriptions are binding.

Location of Azizi Venice Dubai: Dubai South, Emirates Road and the distances

Azizi Venice Dubai is in Dubai South, which the area’s own site (dubaisouth.ae) presents as a free zone, logistics, aviation and lifestyle hub and which Wikipedia says was formerly called Dubai World Central. The developer’s project page places it adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport and Emirates Road. Property Finder files it under Dubai South (Dubai World Central), sub-area Golf District, and says that Emaar South is adjacent.

Al Maktoum International Airport, according to Wikipedia, opened on 27 June 2010 and lies about 37 km south-west of the city of Dubai. The developer’s Dubai South page also names Expo City Dubai as part of the area, and Expo City Dubai’s own site describes Expo City Dubai as the UAE’s first Green Innovation District. These are facts about the surroundings and not statements about the project’s timetable.

The distances are printed as driving times by three sources and they disagree. The developer prints 7 minutes to the airport and 15 minutes to Dubai Parks and Resorts, Property Finder repeats 7 minutes to the airport, and Bayut prints about 20 minutes for both. The data file lists the developer’s times without naming the departure point or the hour, so they are quoted as printed.

The Palm Jebel Ali row shows the widest gap, 25 minutes against 15, and the airport row shows 7 against about 20. A buyer who plans a daily commute can test a route at the hour needed using a map service and treat all printed minutes as indications. The Dubai Metro and rail lines to Dubai South are described by the developer only as a station and a network listed among features, with no date or distance, and the guide does not give a timetable that no source supplies.

Other residential projects in the same part of Dubai are listed on this site, including Celestia in Dubai South and Windsor House II in Dubai South. The Dubai South area page of Bayut and Property Finder are better places to compare transactions across the area, because their community-level statistics cover all of Dubai South and not this project, and the guide does not use them.

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

The rules below apply to any off-plan purchase in Dubai, including a unit in this project. Each row cites an official source read on 13 November 2026, and none of it is a statement that a particular unit qualifies for anything. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) is the registering authority, and its regulatory arm RERA oversees developers and escrow accounts.

Escrow is the mechanism that links a buyer’s payments to the building. Article 9 of Law No. 8 of 2007 dedicates the account to construction of the project, and the DLD FAQ says that the technical report proving the percentage of completion is paid for through the Oqood self-registration system. A buyer can ask for the project’s escrow account name and number in the contract, and check it against the DLD data page.

On payment timing, none of the sources reached for this guide fixes a rule that ties each instalment of a buyer’s schedule to a stated construction percentage. The schedule is a contract term. The portal plans in section 6 are therefore shown only as printed, and a buyer reading any of them can ask which dates or construction milestones trigger each instalment.

The Golden Visa row is the rule as the government portal prints it.

Whether a unit in this project would count depends on its price in the contract, on whether the property is complete or off-plan, and on the authority’s own checks, so eligibility is not claimed for any unit here. A single unit at the developer’s from-price of AED 758K is below the AED 2,000,000 figure, and the amounts of several units may or may not be combined, which only the authority can say. The explainer on the Dubai Golden Visa on this site describes the route in more detail.

This guide gives no figure for an annual property tax in Dubai because none was verified on an official page today; the property tax guide covers the topic separately. General background on the process is in the off-plan buyers’ guide, the explainer on whether foreigners can buy apartments in Dubai, the comparison of freehold and leasehold and the note on mortgages for foreigners. Older guides on this site may carry numbers that have since changed, so the table above is the reference for this page.

What to ask for in writing before reserving a unit

A reservation form is not the contract. The list below follows from the conflicts shown earlier and from the registration rules of section 9. Each item is something a developer or its sales office can provide in writing, and a buyer can keep the replies with the contract.

1. The sale and purchase agreement with the exact unit number, building (Venice 1 to 14 or later) and floor, and the area as measured in the contract.
2. The handover date or handover quarter written into the contract, and what the contract says if the date moves.
3. The payment schedule with the date or construction stage that triggers each instalment, and the plan that applies to that building (14/36/50, 10/40/50 or another).
4. The name and number of the project’s escrow account, the bank, and how payments are made into it.
5. The DLD project number and the RERA registration, and a printout of the project’s record on the DLD data page.
6. The registration of the sale in the Interim Property Register (Oqood) and the date it will be done, with the registration fee stated separately.
7. The service-charge estimate per square foot for the building and the community, and who sets it, since no figure was found for this project.
8. What the finish and fittings include, with the specification sheet attached to the contract.
9. The tenure as it appears in the contract and on the DLD record, and the area’s freehold status.
10. Which community facilities (lagoon, boulevard, cultural district, schools, metro station) are contractual and on what dates.
11. The legal name of the signing company, the licence and the person authorised to sign.
12. A written reply on availability for the unit type, because one portal shows the project as sold out and the developer page shows a from-price.

A buyer who uses an agent can ask the agent which items the agent can obtain and which only the developer can sign. A buyer can also take the contract to a lawyer licensed in Dubai before signing. This guide is a reading of public sources and not legal advice.

Azizi Developments, the developer

Azizi Developments says on its legacy page that it was established in 2007 and is headquartered in Dubai. Its chairman’s message refers to the entry into real estate in 2007, and the same page names Mirwais Azizi as founder and chairman and Farhad Azizi as group chief executive. The company describes an agreement with the master developer Nakheel for Al Furjan in 2009, handovers in Al Furjan from 2016 and the launch of Azizi Riviera in 2017.

In its press release of 15 September 2026, Azizi says it has delivered more than 45,000 homes, has more than 150,000 units under construction at various stages, and has handed over seven projects in 2026 to date with a further ten targeted by December 2026. These are portfolio figures, not figures for this project. The company also describes in-house manufacturing and a construction partner, Gardinia, and it acts as master developer at this community.

Every statement in this section is Azizi’s own, from its legacy page and its press release of 15 September 2026, read in the data file on 13 November 2026. Developer rankings and award descriptions are not repeated. The directory of Dubai developers on this site lists other developers for comparison.

Other Azizi projects and nearby Dubai South listings on this site

The table lists Azizi listings on this site in other communities, with the community as the developer files it. The Monaco Mansions row is the only one in the same community as this project. The listings are being added to the site, so a link may take a short time to go live, and no listing is ranked above another.

Listings of other developers in the same part of Dubai are in the table below. They are different projects with their own prices and terms, and the list says nothing about which is better.

For the wider picture, the UAE country page, the Dubai city page and the Dubai market guide give context. The market guide is an older page, so its numbers should be checked against current sources before use.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Azizi Venice Dubai?

It is in Dubai South, along Emirates Road, near Al Maktoum International Airport, according to the developer. Property Finder lists the sub-area as Golf District. The developer page also notes a dedicated metro station among its features, without a date or distance. All distances in section 8 come from three portals or the developer and differ by source.

What does Azizi Venice Dubai cost?

The developer’s page prints From AED 758K, about USD 206,400 at 3.6725 per USD, as read on 13 November 2026. Property Finder prints a launch price of AED 747K and marks the project Sold out. The unit type behind the from-price is not stated. A buyer needs a written price for a named unit before any reservation.

When is the handover of Azizi Venice Dubai?

The developer’s page prints no date. Press releases say “through 2026 and into 2027”, portals say Q4 2026 or 1 December 2026, and an October 2025 release gave Q1 2026 for Venice 1 to 3. The date that applies to a buyer is the one in the contract for the specific building.

Is Azizi Venice Dubai sold out?

The sources disagree. Property Finder says Sold out and that the developer’s project is out of stock, while the developer’s page shows a from-price and a Register your interest button. The guide does not say which is right. A written reply from the sales office about a named unit type settles it for that day.

Is the land freehold, and can foreigners buy?

Property Finder lists the project as freehold and Bayut says it is a freehold area. Law No. 7 of 2006 allows non-UAE nationals freehold ownership in areas determined by the Ruler of Dubai. The project record at the DLD and the sale contract show the tenure that applies to a unit.

Which payment plan applies?

Portals print 14/36/50 for the main page and Venice 1, 10/40/50 for Venice 9 and a 40/60 schedule in Bayut’s area guide. The developer’s page prints none. The plan that binds a buyer is the one annexed to the sale and purchase agreement for that building, with dates or construction stages for each instalment.

How much did construction advance, according to Azizi?

Azizi’s press release of 28 April 2026 says 39% across the first 14 buildings, with Venice 3 at 74%, Venice 1 at 64% and Venice 2 at 57%. Its release of 15 October 2025 said 29%. These are the developer’s statements, not audited figures; the DLD project record is the official place to check.

What fees come with an off-plan purchase in Dubai?

The DLD says the registration fee is 4% of the property’s value, paid according to the agreement between seller and buyer. Property Finder also lists a 4% government fee. Other costs, such as a service charge, are not published for this project, so a buyer can ask for them in writing.

Does buying here give a Golden Visa?

The UAE government portal prints a minimum of AED 2 million for the real-estate investor category, about USD 544,600. Whether a given off-plan unit at Azizi Venice Dubai counts is for the authority to confirm. The developer’s from-price of AED 758K is below that figure for a single unit. The Golden Visa explainer on this site gives the route.

What should be checked before paying a deposit?

A buyer can ask for the unit number, the contract, the handover clause, the payment schedule, the escrow account name, the DLD project number and the service-charge estimate in writing, and can check the project on the DLD data page. Section 10 gives the full list. The reply on availability matters because sources differ.
