## Short answer

Azizi Developments says it has delivered more than 45,000 homes and handed over 7 projects in 2026, with 10 more targeted by December 2026 (Azizi via GDN, 15 Sep 2026). At Azizi Riviera, 53 of its 75 buildings were delivered by September 2025, with the rest due by Q2 2026. Azizi Venice was promised for Q1 2026 in October 2025, but by September 2026 Azizi said its handovers would run through 2026 and into 2027. No cancellation, refund dispute or DLD enforcement action against Azizi has been reported by major UAE news outlets.

## Key figures

- Homes delivered since founding: 45,000+ (Azizi via GDN, 15 Sep 2026)
- Riviera buildings handed over: 53 of 75 (Azizi via Gulf Construction, 2 Sep 2025)
- Venice 1 to 3, date promised: Q1 2026 (Azizi via MENAFN, 17 Oct 2025, not met)
- Projects handed over in 2026: 7 (Azizi via GDN, 15 Sep 2026)

## Homes delivered so far

Azizi says it has delivered more than 45,000 homes since it started building in Dubai. It reports 7 projects handed over in 2026 so far, with 10 more targeted for handover by the end of the year, and more than 150,000 units under construction across its pipeline (Azizi via GDN, 15 Sep 2026).

In 2024, Azizi said it delivered 19 projects, in line with the plan it had announced the year before, and sold 10,229 units, up 15.8% on 2023. At the time it planned 25 building completions and 6,979 units for 2025 (Azizi via MENAFN, 7 Jan 2025). These are the developer's own figures. DLD does not publish a single combined count of homes delivered per developer.

## Delivered vs promised, project by project

| Project | What was promised | What has happened | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azizi Riviera | Handover in phases, no single date for all 75 buildings | 53 of 75 buildings delivered by Sep 2025. The remaining 22 were due up to Q2 2026. Riviera 69 and Beachfront I, 667 more homes, handed over in Mar 2026 | Gulf Construction, 2 Sep 2025; UAE News 24/7, 31 Mar 2026 |
| Azizi Venice, buildings 1 to 3 | Handover in Q1 2026, promised Oct 2025 | Q1 2026 passed with no handover confirmed. By Apr 2026 Venice 1 was 64% complete and Venice 3 was 74%. By Sep 2026 Azizi said handovers would run through 2026 and into 2027 | MENAFN, 17 Oct 2025; Zawya, 28 Apr 2026; GDN, 15 Sep 2026 |
| Azizi portfolio, 2024 | 19 projects planned for delivery, announced 2023 | 19 projects delivered in 2024, as planned | MENAFN, 7 Jan 2025 |

The pattern is mixed. The 2024 portfolio target was met. The first buildings at Azizi Venice were not handed over on the date given in October 2025.

## Regulatory record and disputes

Every off-plan project in Dubai must register with DLD and hold buyer payments in an escrow account, released to the developer against verified construction progress. Buyers can check a project's registration and file a complaint through DLD's own service if a developer misses its obligations.

No DLD or RERA fine or enforcement action against Azizi Developments has been reported by major UAE news outlets such as Gulf News, The National, Khaleej Times or Zawya, as of 28 September 2026. No cancellation or refund dispute involving Azizi has been reported by these outlets either. Individual complaints appear on consumer review sites, but these are personal accounts, not verified news reports, so they are not listed here as facts.

## What to check before you book

1. **The handover date and grace period** written in your SPA for your specific building, not the community name.
2. **The DLD project status** of that building, through DLD's project status enquiry service.
3. **Whether your building has appeared in a dated handover announcement**, such as those Azizi has issued for specific Riviera and Venice buildings.
4. **The payment schedule**, and how much falls due at handover. A later handover date pushes back that payment too.
5. **DLD's complaint process**, so you know the formal route to raise an issue rather than relying only on informal assurances.
