Riviera Rêve

Riviera Rêve is a three-tower residential development by Azizi, situated within the Azizi Riviera masterplan at Meydan One. Comprising 91 apartments across three buildings, it targets buyers who want lagoon-adjacent living without the commute times that come with Dubai's coastal western districts. Completion is scheduled for December 2024, with construction progress currently at 76.57 per cent.

# Three towers on the Meydan One lagoon

The project takes its formal cues from the waterfront architecture of southern France, though its context is decidedly Dubai: a large-scale masterplan community set between the Meydan racecourse corridor and the Mohammed Bin Rashid City grid. The three towers are designed around the visual language of moving water, with façades incorporating solar-reflective glass and vertical greenery along the building skins. Those two elements serve both aesthetic and practical ends, moderating heat load and improving air quality at the podium level.

Marble-clad lobby entrances with hotel-style arrivals and valet parking set the tone on arrival. The scale of the development is contained enough (91 units across three buildings) that it retains something closer to a boutique character than the anonymous density of larger Azizi phases nearby.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The unit mix runs from studios at 458 sq ft through to a single five-bedroom apartment spanning 8,713 sq ft, with the bulk of availability concentrated in one- and two-bedroom configurations. One-bedroom apartments range broadly, from around 795 sq ft to 1,232 sq ft, reflecting meaningful variation in layout rather than just floor level. Two-bedroom units cluster mostly in the 1,218 to 1,522 sq ft band. Three-bedroom apartments start at approximately 1,617 sq ft for the standard configurations, rising sharply to 4,661 sq ft for larger-format units, suggesting a penthouse or sky-villa typology at the upper end.

Interiors arrive semi-furnished. Ceiling heights reach 3.1 metres throughout, giving the living spaces a proportion that reads well in mid-rise construction. Kitchens are fitted with Siemens appliances (refrigerator, oven, microwave, electric hob and dishwasher) and German-manufactured fittings and mechanisms. Bathrooms are finished in porcelain and marble mosaic. Italian marble runs through the primary living areas. Smart home systems manage lighting, cooling and appliances.

Pricing opens at AED 2,620,000 for a one-bedroom and runs to AED 34,916,000 for the five-bedroom. Service charges are set at AED 16 per sq ft.

# Amenities and communal facilities

The amenity offering spans both the practical and the leisure-oriented. At the active end: a gym, swimming pool, kids play area and beachfront areas along the lagoon edge. The outdoor cinema and dedicated cinema room address two distinct audience types. A zen garden provides quieter outdoor space away from the pool deck.

At street level, the development connects to Azizi Riviera's wider boulevard infrastructure, which includes restaurants, cafés, grocery and retail stores, and a lounge room. A car wash facility and laundry service round out the day-to-day conveniences. Dining venues are available within the community rather than requiring residents to drive out for meals.

# Getting around from Meydan One

Two schools of note sit within five minutes by car: Hartland International School Dubai (1.7 km) and North London Collegiate School (1.6 km), a consideration that carries weight for European and British buyers relocating with children. Nad Al Sheba Park is a seven-minute drive at 3.8 km. Meydan Dubai Mall is reachable in around five minutes (4.4 km).

The Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa are both within 15 to 16 minutes by car. Dubai International Airport sits 16.7 km away, a 29-minute drive under normal conditions. The location sits in a mid-city band that avoids both the congestion of Downtown and the isolation of the newer outer-district communities.

# Who this development suits and where it sits in the market

At AED 2.6 to 4.8 million for a one- or two-bedroom apartment, Riviera Rêve occupies a price point that attracts both owner-occupiers seeking a primary Dubai residence and investors targeting the Meydan corridor's rental demand. The proximity to two British-curriculum schools makes it a natural fit for UK and European families arriving on long-term employment visas or residency programmes. The five-bedroom unit at the upper end, priced at just under AED 35 million for 8,713 sq ft, addresses a different buyer entirely: one drawn by the sheer scale of the floorplate rather than the community context.

The 76.57 per cent construction progress, with a December 2024 delivery target, reduces the off-plan risk profile relative to earlier-stage projects in competing communities. Buyers entering now are acquiring into a development close to handover, with visible structural progress rather than a rendering and a promise.
