Riviera 65

Riviera 65 is a completed residential building by Azizi Developments, situated within the Azizi Riviera masterplan at Meydan One in Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The building holds 30 apartments across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations, and reached full completion in Q1 2025.

# The building and its position within Meydan One

Azizi Riviera is one of the more substantial mid-density residential projects to have taken shape in MBR City over the past several years, and Riviera 65 sits within that broader fabric as a single-building addition to the community. The scale is deliberately contained: 30 units rather than the hundreds that characterise some of Azizi's larger phases nearby.

Meydan One itself occupies a strategically central band of Dubai, between the racecourse district and the wider MBR City development corridor. The area has matured considerably since its early planning stages, with retail, dining and community infrastructure now in place along the internal boulevards. Riviera 65 benefits from that groundwork without the construction disruption that earlier buyers absorbed.

The building is complete and ready for immediate occupation or handover.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and pricing

The apartments span three bedroom categories. Studios range broadly from approximately 383 sq ft to 439 sq ft, with recorded asking prices across individual units from around AED 1.07 million to AED 1.53 million. The variation in per-square-foot pricing within this band reflects floor position and orientation.

One-bedroom apartments run from roughly 645 sq ft to 736 sq ft. Pricing on the one-bed units sits between AED 1.81 million and AED 2.32 million.

Two-bedroom residences occupy between 661 sq ft and 791 sq ft, with prices recorded from AED 1.92 million to AED 2.14 million. The two-bed footprints are compact by Dubai standards, which positions them closer to investor-grade than family-primary use, though the larger 791 sq ft configuration is more liveable for two occupants.

Units are delivered unfurnished. Service charges are quoted at 10 to 20 AED per sq ft annually, which is broadly in line with comparable Azizi Riviera phases.

# Amenities within the Riviera community

Residents at Riviera 65 draw on the shared infrastructure of the wider Azizi Riviera masterplan rather than a standalone podium. The amenity list is substantive. Two swimming pools, a tennis court, a basketball court and both cycling and jogging tracks serve active residents. A gymnasium, a clubhouse and an indoor cinema address leisure needs across different registers.

The access to the Cristal Lagoon is the headline feature. Sandy-edged lagoon living at this price point is relatively scarce in Dubai outside of developments such as Damac Lagoons or the Crystal Lagoon communities further south, and proximity to this facility gives Riviera 65 a draw that its unit sizes alone would not generate.

An indoor kids' play area and outdoor seating areas complete the list.

# Getting around: distances and daily logistics

Nad Al Sheba Park is 3.6 km away, an increasingly popular green space that has seen investment in running tracks and public facilities. North London Collegiate School, one of the more sought-after British curriculum options in Dubai, sits 1.7 km from the building, which is a meaningful proximity for family buyers.

Downtown Dubai is approximately 11.8 km out. Jumeirah Beach is around 13 km, and Dubai International Airport 17.4 km. These are not walking distances, and the area remains car-dependent in daily practice. Residents travelling frequently will find the airport accessible in reasonable time outside peak traffic hours.

Meydan Dubai Mall is listed at 13.8 km. The North London Collegiate School proximity is arguably more useful to the typical buyer profile here.

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

Riviera 65 is a completed, fully sold-out building, which means its relevance to a new buyer is primarily through the secondary market. The combination of lagoon access, British-curriculum school proximity and sub-AED 1.6 million studio entry points makes it a credible target for yield-focused investors acquiring from existing owners, as well as end-users relocating to Dubai who prefer buying into an established community over committing to an off-plan timeline.

The service charge range of 10 to 20 AED per sq ft is worth factoring carefully on the smaller studios, where annual charges can narrow net yields more than buyers initially model. Against the broader MBR City apartment market, however, the Azizi Riviera masterplan has demonstrated consistent rental demand, and a completed building carries none of the delivery risk that still attaches to newer phases in the district.
