Updated: 2026-10-12

## Short answer

Burj Azizi's registered completion date on the DLD register is 30 August 2030, while Azizi has said since late 2025 that the tower is scheduled for completion in 2029. The DLD site inspection of 3 September 2026 put construction at 7.47% complete, with raft foundation and basement works under way. The tower is not completed, and the published date has moved from 2028 at the February 2025 launch to 2029 or 2030 depending on the source, so the date in the buyer's SPA is the one that applies.

## Burj Azizi handover date: the latest position

Burj Azizi has a registered completion date of 30 August 2030 on the DLD register, and the DLD inspection of 3 September 2026 put it at 7.47% complete. Azizi's own statements, most recently its pricing update of 24 February 2026, say the tower is scheduled for completion in 2029. More on the tower: [Burj Azizi](/projects/burj-azizi/).

The tower is at an early stage for a 725 metre building. In May 2026, Azizi described work on the 5 metre thick raft foundation and the nine level basement car park, with about 750 workers on site each day. No structure above ground had been reported by the September 2026 inspection.

## What the Burj Azizi handover date means for payments

Listings in October 2026 show 10% at booking, 40% during construction in 10% instalments every six months, and 50% on handover (JRE; Equity Edge). Portal listings in 2025 quoted an 80/20 split, and Azizi's own materials do not confirm either plan. On the 10/40/50 plan, half the price falls due at handover, so the date that handover actually happens, 2029 or 2030, decides when the largest payment is called. AGBI reported in September 2025 that Azizi was funding 30% of the project itself, with the rest from bank financing and off-plan sales.

## What to check before relying on the Burj Azizi date

1. **The completion date written in the SPA.** Published dates range from 2028 to 30 August 2030, and the SPA date is the one a buyer can rely on.
2. **Whether instalments are linked to dates or to construction stages.** At 7.47% complete in September 2026, a date-linked schedule can run well ahead of the build.
3. **The next DLD inspection figure.** The 7.47% is from 3 September 2026. Progress is published through DLD's project status enquiry under project number 3257.
4. **Azizi's record on other dates.** Azizi Venice's first buildings were promised for Q1 2026 and, as of 15 September 2026, Azizi said handovers would run through 2026 and into 2027 (GDN).
