Azizi Florence

Azizi Florence is a master-planned residential community being developed by Azizi in Sharjah, adjacent to Sharjah International Airport, comprising two buildings across a large-scale integrated neighbourhood of villas, townhouses and apartments, with completion scheduled for July 2029.

# A 30-Million-Square-Foot Masterplan and Its Six Clusters

The numbers alone position Florence as one of the more ambitious residential undertakings in the northern emirates. Spread across 30 million square feet, the development organises more than 7,200 villas and townhouses into six distinct residential clusters, each with its own internal logic and shared amenities. The scale is closer to a self-contained town than a typical gated community.

What anchors the plan is a large central park shared across all six clusters. That park is the connective tissue: it brings together recreation zones, outdoor theatre space, weekend market areas, dancing fountains, a skating park, a water park and dedicated jogging and cycling tracks. The architecture responds to the landscape rather than competing with it, with low-density residential blocks arranged to preserve sightlines and green corridors.

# Residences, Layouts and Specification

The current collection runs from four-bedroom standalone villas through to six-bedroom configurations, with townhouses offered in four-, six- and eight-plex blocks. Sizes range from approximately 2,224 square feet to just under 4,931 square feet, giving buyers meaningful choice across family sizes and lifestyle requirements.

Interiors are delivered fully fitted. Large windows are a consistent feature throughout, maximising natural light across living areas and bedrooms. Kitchens arrive with modern fittings installed, and the overall specification balances livability with considered finish quality. Outdoor space is built into each unit type rather than treated as an afterthought.

Prices at presale entry start at AED 1.89 million and reach to just under AED 4.95 million for the largest configurations.

# Community Infrastructure and Daily Life

Florence operates on the premise that residents should rarely need to leave. Each cluster has its own clubhouse with indoor and outdoor pools, gender-dedicated gym and wellness facilities, a mosque, a cluster park with barbecue space and seating areas, and community retail.

# The Central Mall

A dedicated community mall consolidates a broader range of services: a gym, indoor pool, sauna and steam rooms, massage facilities, a cinema, an escape room, an adventure zone, a supermarket, a medical clinic and a VIP lounge. For a family-oriented development at this scale, keeping essential services internal to the masterplan is a practical decision rather than a marketing one.

# Sharjah Connectivity and the Airport Adjacency

Sharjah International Airport sits on the doorstep, which matters for buyers who travel frequently but do not require proximity to Dubai International. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) connects the area to Dubai and the wider emirate network, keeping commute times into central Dubai manageable for residents prepared to live slightly outside the city boundary.

University City is nearby, which lends the district a certain demographic consistency: it draws educated, long-term resident families rather than short-term transient occupants. That stability tends to support the kind of neighbourhood cohesion a masterplan of this size depends on.

# Who Florence Is Built For, and Where It Sits in the Market

Florence is a considered choice for buyers who find Dubai's density a drawback rather than an attraction. The GCC family buyer, the European relocating with school-age children, the investor targeting end-user demand rather than short-term rental yield: these are the profiles that fit the project's logic most naturally.

At the entry price point, a four-bedroom villa in a low-density masterplan with full community infrastructure is a proposition that is difficult to replicate inside Dubai proper. The trade-off is location: Sharjah's reputation and commute times remain real considerations. For buyers who weight space, community infrastructure and long-term liveability over address prestige, the calculation is straightforward.
