Azizi Venice

Azizi Venice is a large-scale residential development by Azizi Developments, positioned within Dubai South and comprising two buildings across a broader master community that incorporates waterways, a boulevard, and a dedicated cultural precinct. The project offers semi-furnished apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom residences, with prices starting from AED 676,000 and running to AED 3,938,000. Completion is scheduled for Q4 2026, with construction currently 70.47 per cent complete.

# A water-oriented master community in Dubai South

Dubai South occupies a strategic corridor in the emirate's southern reaches, adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport and the legacy infrastructure of Expo 2020, now known as Expo City. The district has been drawing sustained developer interest as a long-term growth zone, underpinned by planned metro connectivity and the airport's expansion into one of the world's largest aviation hubs.

Azizi Venice sits within this district as an unusually ambitious scheme. The broader community is built around an extensive network of water channels and lagoons, drawing its conceptual language from Venice's canal urbanism. A central boulevard serves as the social and retail spine, lined with restaurants and food and beverage outlets and connected to a dedicated opera house and cultural venue. The scale is considerable: the community is intended to function as a self-sufficient urban quarter rather than a conventional residential compound.

The two residential buildings within the currently on-sale phase add 5,471 units to the wider master plan, making this one of the higher-density launches in the district.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The apartment mix spans studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations. Studio sizes run from approximately 318 to just over 400 square feet, priced broadly between AED 676,000 and AED 921,000. One-bedroom residences typically fall between 666 and 1,187 square feet, with pricing from around AED 1,107,000 to AED 1,670,000, reflecting meaningful variation tied to floor, aspect and layout type. Two-bedroom apartments range from roughly 999 to 1,878 square feet, generally priced between AED 1,798,000 and AED 2,664,000. Three-bedroom units occupy the upper end of the range, with sizes from approximately 1,433 to 2,817 square feet and prices from AED 3,005,000 to AED 3,938,000.

All residences are delivered semi-furnished. The service charge is set at AED 16 per square foot annually.

The breadth of the size range within each bedroom category is notable. A one-bedroom at 666 square feet and one at 1,187 square feet are categorically different products, the latter approaching the footprint of a modest two-bedroom in many markets. Buyers researching specific units should pay close attention to floor plan and gross-to-net ratios rather than bedroom count alone.

# Amenities built into the community fabric

The amenities here are more institutional in scope than in a typical mid-rise tower. The opera house and museum function as civic anchors, positioning the community closer to a mixed-use district than a residential enclosure.

# Leisure and wellness

Facilities confirmed within the project include a spa, swimming pool, waterpark, snow room and a gym. Jogging and bicycle tracks run through the community, and a kids' play area is provided. The boulevard itself extends the amenity offer informally, with its restaurant strip and boardwalk.

# Community infrastructure

An international school, a community hospital and a Friday mosque are integrated into the masterplan. These are meaningful inclusions for families evaluating long-term liveability, removing the need to commute for routine services.

# Connections from Dubai South

Dubai South's locational logic centres on Al Maktoum International Airport, currently accessible in approximately seven minutes by road. The new Palm Jebel Ali development sits in the same general corridor, and Palm Jumeirah is roughly fifteen minutes away, depending on route and traffic. A metro station is planned within a two-minute radius of the community, which, once operational, would materially change the connectivity picture for residents who work or socialise closer to the city centre.

The Expo City district, which hosts a growing cluster of commercial tenants, cultural venues and government offices, forms an immediate neighbour. For buyers concerned about the isolation that can affect outer-district purchases, this is a relevant buffer against the sense of being removed from urban life.

# Who this project suits, and where it sits in the Dubai market

Azizi Venice addresses a specific buyer profile: those seeking volume, price accessibility and long-term capital upside in a district still in the early phases of population density. At AED 676,000 for entry-level studios, the project sits below the threshold of most established mid-town Dubai offerings and considerably below comparable waterfront product on the Palm or in Dubai Creek Harbour.

For GCC buyers seeking a buy-to-hold position ahead of Al Maktoum's expansion, or for European and Asian investors taking a five-to-seven year view on Dubai South's infrastructure maturation, the pricing arithmetic is straightforward. The construction progress at 70.47 per cent with a Q4 2026 delivery window also reduces the duration risk relative to earlier-stage launches in the area.

The trade-off is commute time to established commercial districts such as DIFC and Downtown, which remain 35 to 45 minutes away under normal conditions. This is a community that makes the most sense for buyers who either work locally, prioritise space and value per square foot, or are purchasing as a pure investment rather than a primary residence.
