Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 2025: Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has been honored with the distinguished 'Master Developer of the Year' award at BNC Publishing's 2025 Pillars of Real Estate Awards, held at the Habtoor Palace Dubai. The award was received by Mr. Tizian H. G. Raab, Head of Public Relations & Communications and Advisor to the Group CEO. The accolade highlights Azizi's outstanding contributions to Dubai's urban transformation through master planned communities such as Azizi Riviera – its French Mediterranean-inspired, 16,000-home project in MBR City; Azizi Venice – its AED 30 billion master-planned waterfront community in Dubai South, built entirely on one of the world's largest crystal lagoons; and Azizi Milan – its AED 75 billion landmark project on Mohammed bin Zayed Road guided by the principles of sustainability, nature, and the cultured refinement of Italian fashion. Commenting on the award, Mr. Tizian H. G. Raab said: 'We are honored to be recognized as 'Master Developer of the Year', with this accolade serving as a powerful testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as all of our diligent stakeholders—each of whom contributes to the realization of our vision. Being bestowed with this prestigious award motivates us to go above and beyond, reinforcing our pursuit of delivering real estate excellence through the most thoughtfully master-planned communities—developments that truly enrich lives, offer unparalleled capital appreciation and rental yields, and help shape the future of urban living in Dubai.' Azizi Venice will comprise more than 36,000 residential units across 100+ apartment complexes and over 109 ultra-luxury mansions. Azizi Developments is taking on the role of master developer, in charge of constructing the buildings, roads, and all the infrastructure. Centered around a vast, crystal-blue lagoon that encircles its condominiums, villas, and mansions, Azizi Venice provides a picturesque setting for leisure, retail, and commercial spaces. The turquoise, desalinated waters are bordered by sandy beaches, an 8 km-long cycling and jogging track, yoga and sports facilities, and a vibrant promenade featuring a variety of artisan eateries and boutiques. The area is enhanced by leafy, dense, and beautifully manicured greenery, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere throughout. A major attraction to be developed within Azizi Venice is The Cultural District in Dubai South, which will incorporate a collection of iconic facilities, including an opera house, theatre, exhibition hall, and performing arts academy. Built to mirror Dubai's dynamic and diverse cultural scene, the project is poised to attract creatives from around the globe. Seamlessly merging art and culture, the upcoming district will be a lively hub, enhancing the lives of Dubai South residents and visitors through a range of engaging activities and experiences. Azizi Venice's stunning array of venues is set to elevate the emirate's arts landscape. At its core is a 2,500-seat opera house showcasing an innovative, futuristic structure by Zaha Hadid Architects with advanced acoustic and visual technology to guarantee an unparalleled artistic experience. A more intimate 400-seat theatre provides a versatile space for drama, comedy, art workshops, and smaller performances. Further enriching the district's offerings is a spacious exhibition hall that can accommodate up to 2,000 people. Intended to present a range of local and international exhibitions, this flexible area is ideal for everything from paintings and sculptures to cutting-edge digital art. Recognizing the importance of nurturing future talent, the district will also house a dedicated performing arts academy, which will play a vital role in refining the skills of the next generation of artists ready to leave their mark on the UAE's exciting cultural scene. This opulent development will also integrate a pedestrian-friendly space that remains open-air in the winter and transforms into a glass-covered, temperature-controlled area during the summer, ensuring year-round comfort. Lined with three-storey buildings, it will host leading global retailers, nightlife, entertainment options, and a broad selection of international culinary options, establishing itself as a unique destination on Dubai's map of outstanding sights. A prime tourist attraction and high-end local hotspot, Azizi Venice is set to welcome over 30,000 visitors each day. It will feature two Azizi-owned and operated five-star hotels at its main entrances, along with a boutique hotel situated on an island in the center of the lagoon. An ample number of underground parking spaces will be built to ensure convenient access to Azizi Boulevard and Azizi Opera for all guests. Azizi Venice will have its own full-service hospital, kindergarten, schools for grades 1 to high school, and a 4 km-long aesthetically designed and landscaped main road that will be flanked by additional dining and shopping options. Moreover, the development will have a strong focus on children, with a wide range of amenities specifically for them, and numerous safe areas where they can roam and play freely. The site will boast several stunning lighting features on building façades and beyond, as well as musical and dancing water fountains that will add a festive night-time feel to the lagoon, the boulevard, and the opera. Further to this, Azizi Boulevard and the neighborhood as a whole will be extravagantly decorated in theme for each season, holiday, and festivity of the year, adding to its popularity as one of the most interesting points of interest in the UAE. Azizi Developments' Sales Gallery can be visited on the 13th floor of the Conrad Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
