Dubai’s Burj Azizi: Sales Launch Announced for the World’s Second-Tallest Tower

Private developer Azizi Developments announced on Tuesday that the 725-metre tower will be sold in Dubai (Conrad Hotel), Hong Kong (The Peninsula), London (The Dorchester), Mumbai (JW Marriott Juhu), Singapore (Marina Bay Sands), Sydney (Four Seasons Hotel), and Tokyo (Palace Hotel).

Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the 131-plus-storey tower will include residential, hotel, retail, and entertainment spaces. It is scheduled for completion by 2028.

“In Dubai and cities around the world, new projects come up every day. However, projects like Burj Azizi happen only once a generation. I feel overjoyed that we celebrate Burj Azizi’s journey from conceptualisation to launch,” said Mirwais Azizi, founder and chairman of Azizi Development.

“Burj Azizi is not just a structure; it is a tribute to the emirate’s ever-growing prominence on the global stage,” he added.

Dubai’s red-hot property market has been witnessing exceptional demand from investors and end-users in the past four years, pushing prices and rentals substantially higher. The luxury and ultra-luxury segment have led this rally.

According to Property Finder, Dubai achieved record-breaking transaction volumes and values, totalling 180,987 transactions worth Dh522.5 billion in 2024, a significant leap of 36.5 per cent in volume and 27.2 per cent in value compared to the previous market peak in 2023. The surge was driven primarily by off-plan sales.

According to Skyscrapercenter’s data, Dubai is home to 33 towers taller than 300-plus metres, the highest in the world.

Data showed that of the 100 tallest completed towers globally, Dubai is home to 14 tallest skyscrapers, led by Burj Khalifa, Marina 101, Princess Tower, 23 Marina, Elite Residence, The Address Boulevard, Ciel Tower, Almas Tower, Gevora Hotel, II Primo Tower, JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Tower 1, JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Tower 2, Emirates Tower One, and The Torch.

Azizi Developments claimed that Burj will boast some records, such as the highest hotel lobby on level 111, the highest nightclub on level 126, the highest restaurant on level 122, and the hotel room on level 118. At the top, the building will also house a special museum that will showcase the chronology of the building’s evolution, recognising personalities involved through multimedia exhibits, including photos, video and graphics.

It will house apartments with one, two, or three bedrooms. For every 20 floors of residences, an amenity floor is planned, consisting of swimming pools with sauna and steam room, a gym and yoga centre, a spa, a games room including billiards, chess and ping-pong, a business centre, a kids’ play area, a cinema, a restaurant and coffee shop, and a supermarket.

Azizi claimed that the project would also house an all-suite 7-star hotel inspired by seven cultural themes: Arabic, Chinese, Persian, Indian, Turkish, French, and Russian.

“Burj Azizi has been a dream of mine for many years.  It has been a tough challenge, having taken much tireless work by experts from around the world. But I am happy to announce that the dream is now on the path to realisation,” he added.
