Riviera 13

Riviera 13 is a completed residential building by Azizi Developments, located within the Azizi Riviera master community at Meydan One in Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The project reached handover in Q2 2022 and forms part of one of Dubai's more architecturally cohesive midrise neighbourhoods, positioned between the city's historic racing quarter and the denser urban core to the south.

# The building and its place in the Azizi Riviera master plan

Azizi Riviera is an ambitious undertaking by any measure: a multi-building community of midrise blocks set across landscaped ground-level retail and waterfront promenades in MBR City. Riviera 13 sits within this framework as a single residential building, completed and fully handed over. The wider master plan draws from a French Mediterranean aesthetic, applied through arched detailing, cream facades and formal planting, which gives the neighbourhood a visual coherence unusual for a development of this scale.

MBR City itself spans approximately 54 million square feet and functions as a mixed-use district intended to accommodate residential populations alongside commercial and leisure uses. For buyers evaluating Riviera 13, the relevant context is that it occupies an already-delivered district, not a speculative address.

# Residences: one-bedroom apartments across two recorded configurations

Riviera 13 contains two available unit types, both one-bedroom apartments, at different size points. The smaller configuration sits at 533 sq ft, priced at AED 1,591,000. The larger runs to 790 sq ft, priced at AED 2,657,000. Both are unfurnished.

Service charges fall in the 10 to 20 AED per sq ft range, consistent with maintained community developments of this type in MBR City. Buyers should factor that into annual holding cost calculations, particularly if targeting rental income against Dubai's current yield environment.

The specifications reference premium appliances and bathroom fittings as standard, per the developer's original handover documentation.

# Amenities and the ground-level offer

The building's amenity provision is focused and practical rather than exhaustive. Residents have access to a swimming pool, a yoga zone, a zen garden, BBQ seating, an outdoor play area and a lounge. These sit within the building's immediate footprint and complement the broader landscaped retail district that Azizi Riviera operates at the master community level.

The ground-level retail and dining strip is one of the neighbourhood's more appealing characteristics. It reduces dependency on the car for daily routines in a city where that is still the exception rather than the rule.

# Distances and daily connectivity

Hartland International School is 1.7 km away, which matters to the family-buyer segment that Riviera 13's one-bedroom product is perhaps less targeted at, but which signals the neighbourhood's broader residential credentials. Central Park sits 2.5 km out. Meydan One Mall is 4 km away. Downtown Dubai is 6.4 km from the building, Dubai International Airport 15.5 km, and Jumeirah Beach 14.5 km. These are reasonable proximities for a mid-city address, and the Meydan corridor has improved in accessibility as surrounding infrastructure has matured.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the current market

Riviera 13 is a delivered, tenanted-or-vacant asset at a known price point in a completed community. For international buyers whose primary concern is capital deployment risk, that matters. There is no construction risk, no handover uncertainty, and the surrounding district already functions as a neighbourhood.

At AED 1,591,000 for a 533 sq ft one-bedroom, the price per square foot runs to approximately AED 2,982. The larger unit at AED 2,657,000 for 790 sq ft prices at around AED 3,363 per sq ft. Both sit within the pricing band one would expect for a completed midrise in MBR City with this level of community infrastructure behind it.

The buyer profile is most logically an investor seeking a tenanted Dubai asset, or an end-user wanting immediate occupancy in a neighbourhood with retail, schooling and green space already in place. Those benchmarking against off-plan alternatives in adjacent districts will find the absence of delivery risk the most compelling argument here.
