Riviera Rêve

Riviera Rêve is a 91-unit residential development by Azizi, situated within the broader Azizi Riviera district at Meydan One in Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Spread across three buildings, it is due for completion in December 2024, with construction currently past the 62 per cent mark.

# Three Buildings, One Waterfront Address in MBR City

Meydan One has spent the better part of a decade positioning itself as one of Dubai's more considered master-plan addresses: wide landscaped promenades, lagoon infrastructure, and a density calibrated to feel residential rather than transient. Riviera Rêve sits within Azizi's Riviera sub-community there, inheriting that framework while adding its own architectural identity across three towers.

The towers draw their formal language from water, with curved façades and solar-reflective glass that shifts in appearance depending on the light. Vertical greenery is integrated into the exterior. These are not purely decorative gestures; both elements contribute to thermal performance, which matters in a building where service charges run at 16 AED per sqft annually.

At 91 units total, the development reads as boutique by the standards of the Meydan corridor.

# Layouts, Sizing and What the Specification Actually Includes

The range here is genuinely broad. Studios sit at 458 sq ft, priced from AED 1.47 million. One-bedroom units span roughly 795 sq ft to 1,232 sq ft, with prices across that range falling between AED 2.33 million and AED 4.19 million depending on floor and orientation. Two-bedroom apartments cluster predominantly in the 1,218 to 1,522 sq ft band, priced from AED 3.47 million to approximately AED 4.8 million. Three-bedroom residences include more standard configurations from around 1,617 sq ft at AED 5.5 million, but also a separate tier of larger units between 3,829 and 4,661 sq ft priced from AED 15.6 million upward. At the top of the range, a single five-bedroom residence of 8,713 sq ft carries an asking price of AED 34.9 million.

All units are delivered semi-furnished.

The interior specification draws on a few concrete details from the developer: 3.1-metre ceiling heights throughout, Italian marble finishes in living areas, porcelain and marble mosaic in bathrooms, and kitchens equipped with built-in Siemens appliances including refrigerator, oven, microwave, electric hob and dishwasher. Lobbies are marble-clad with a hotel-style entrance format. Smart home systems cover lighting, cooling and appliances.

# The Amenity Programme on Site

The facilities list covers a reasonably full spread: a swimming pool, gym, outdoor cinema, cinema room, zen garden, kids' play area, lounge room and car wash. The development also incorporates beachfront areas, dining venues, restaurants and cafés, grocery and retail stores, and a laundry facility.

This is an on-site ecosystem rather than a reference to off-site infrastructure. The blend of leisure and practical amenities suits both full-time residents and investors targeting long-term tenants who prefer to limit their dependence on a car for daily errands.

# Distances That Matter for International Buyers

Hartland International School and North London Collegiate School both sit within 1.7 km, reachable in approximately five minutes by car. That proximity tends to be a deciding factor for relocating families from the UK and Europe, where both school brands carry familiarity.

Nad Al Sheba Park is 3.8 km away, roughly seven minutes. Meydan Dubai Mall is 4.4 km and a five-minute drive. The Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa are each around 13 km out, translating to 15 to 16 minutes on the road under normal conditions. Dubai International Airport is 16.7 km, with a drive time of approximately 29 minutes.

The location sits comfortably between the city's historic core and its newer southern districts, without being stranded in either.

# Who This Development Is Actually For

At AED 2.33 million for a one-bedroom entry point, Riviera Rêve is not the most accessible address in Dubai, but it is meaningfully more affordable than comparable waterfront product in Downtown or Dubai Creek Harbour. The three-bedroom units priced above AED 15 million, and the single five-bedroom at AED 34.9 million, speak to a different buyer altogether: one prioritising scale, privacy and a specific postcode within MBR City.

For UK and European buyers in particular, the school proximity and the semi-furnished specification with Siemens appliances already in place reduce the friction of a remote purchase. Construction at 62.79 per cent complete with a December 2024 handover target places the project in a delivery window that suits buyers who have already accepted that off-plan carries a timeline, but prefer not to wait several more years for keys.
