Short answer

Azizi Developments has not published one confirmed handover date for Burj Azizi that all sources agree on. Coverage of the February 2025 sales launch cited 2028. Gulf News reported a 2029 completion date. Property Finder and other listing sites cite 2030. Construction restarted in August 2024 after an earlier halt in 2017 under different ownership, and as of May 2026 foundation works were still under way. Check the completion date written in your sale and purchase agreement rather than a single press report.

When will Burj Azizi be handed over?

Reports on Burj Azizi’s completion date do not agree. This table shows what has been published, with the source and roughly when it was reported.

Reported handover Source When reported
2028 Dubai Chronicle, covering the sales launch Feb 2025
Q4 2028 or Q3 2029 uae-offplan.com Accessed Sep 2026

2030 Property Finder, Wikipedia Accessed Sep 2026

Construction on the current design restarted in August 2024, after an earlier construction attempt on the plot was halted in 2017 under previous ownership. As of May 2026, coverage described foundation works still in progress, including more than 200 workers on site and a single concrete pour of about 7,000 cubic metres. Given the tower’s height and the range of published dates, treat the date in your sale and purchase agreement, not a press report, as the one that applies to your unit.

What do homes in Burj Azizi cost?

At the February 2025 launch, coverage quoted prices of AED 10,000 to AED 17,000 per square foot. Current portal listings show a wider range by unit type.

Unit type Size Price from
1 bedroom apartment About 786 to 1,098 sq ft AED 4.97M (portal listing, Sep 2026)
2 bedroom apartment About 1,277 to 1,475 sq ft AED 10.85M (portal listing)
Penthouses Up to about 4,158 sq ft Up to AED 1 billion

Portal listings for a tower this early in construction can vary by weeks, so treat these as indicative, not fixed, prices.

What is the Burj Azizi payment plan?

Several portals describe an 80/20 plan: 80% paid during the construction period and 20% on handover. Azizi’s own published payment schedule does not confirm that split, so ask your sales contact to set out the plan in writing, including how the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee is billed, before you book.

Who is the developer and what is its handover record?

Azizi Developments says it has delivered more than 45,000 homes since it started building in Dubai, with 7 projects handed over in 2026 so far (Azizi via GDN, 15 Sep 2026). Its record is mixed on individual dates: Azizi Riviera has handed over the large majority of its 75 buildings, but the first buildings at Azizi Venice missed their promised Q1 2026 date and, as of September 2026, were rescheduled to hand over through 2026 and into 2027.

What to check before booking

  1. The completion date in your sale and purchase agreement, since published reports for Burj Azizi range from 2028 to 2030.
  2. The payment plan in writing, including how the 4% Dubai Land Department fee is billed alongside any construction-linked instalments.
  3. Construction progress for this specific tower, given its height and the scale of the works still under way in 2026.
  4. Azizi’s handover record on comparable projects, such as Azizi Venice, where a published date was later revised.

Questions buyers also ask

When will Burj Azizi be handed over?

No single date is confirmed. Coverage of the February 2025 launch gave 2028. Gulf News has reported 2029. Property Finder and other portals cite 2030. Azizi's own site does not list a completion date; check your sale and purchase agreement for the date that applies to your unit.

Has construction actually started on Burj Azizi?

Yes. An earlier construction attempt on the site began in 2016 and was halted in 2017 under different ownership. Azizi acquired the site in 2018 and restarted construction in August 2024. As of May 2026, reports described foundation works still under way, including a single concrete pour of about 7,000 cubic metres.

How much do apartments in Burj Azizi cost?

Current listings show apartments from about AED 4.97 million, with one and two bedroom units, up to penthouses quoted at up to AED 1 billion. Some portals quote per square foot prices of AED 10,000 to AED 17,000 for units sold at the February 2025 launch.

What is the Burj Azizi payment plan?

Several portals quote an 80/20 plan, 80% during the construction period and 20% on handover. Azizi's own published materials do not confirm this split, so ask for the plan in writing before booking.

Has Azizi Developments missed a handover date before?

Yes, at another project. Azizi Venice's first buildings were promised for Q1 2026 in an October 2025 statement, then not delivered on that date. By September 2026 Azizi said Venice handovers would run through 2026 and into 2027 (Azizi via GDN, 15 Sep 2026).
