Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, received the prestigious‘ Most Innovative Mixed Use Development Company’ award at the Global Business Outlook Awards 2021, which seeks to recognise and reward excellence in businesses around the world and is designed to facilitate the outstanding work of businesses and their leaders across all industries.

Azizi Developments’ diversified project portfolio, which encompasses tens of thousands of distinctive and iconic properties across the UAE and beyond, paved the way for this remarkable milestone. The developer has been driven by its commitment to its customers’ best interests, with it not only developing distinguished, innovative, and sustainable projects that have some of the highest returns, but also by enriching end-user and investor lifestyles for generations to come.

In his comments on this noteworthy win, Mr Farhad Azizi, Chief Executive Officer of Azizi Developments, said: “We thank the organisers of the Global Business Outlook Awards for this prestigious accolade and can confidently say that our mixed-use projects truly live up to it. We share Dubai’s objective of using innovation as the foundation for the next generation’s growth. Innovation is key to our entire development cycle, from conceptualisation and design to construction and delivery. We do our very best to continuously innovate in making our homes more unique, sustainable, lifestyle-enhancing, and ROI-growth-inclined. We understand that investors and end-users are looking for more than just a home – their aspirations go beyond. They seek a certain lifestyle that a property represents and enables through its distinctive design, location, connectivity, features and amenities, sustainability and longevity, returns and more. We don’t rest on our laurels – we have customer expectations to meet and exceed and look forward to handing over thousands of keys this year.”

Part of Azizi Developments’ award-winning portfolio, Riviera is a stylish waterfront-lifestyle destination located in the heart of MBR City that is planned to comprise 71 mid-rise buildings with approximately 16,000 residences upon its completion, conveniently located in the midst of all the business, leisure and retail hubs of the city.

Designed to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, which is not merely about architectural art but also about a certain ‘joie de vivre’ — a celebration of life, an exultation of spirit, Riviera represents a new landmark destination that is both residential and commercial, with an abundance of retail space. Riviera features three districts: an extensive retail boulevard, a lagoon walk with artisan eateries and boutiques, and Les Jardins — a vast, lush-green social space.

In June this year, Azizi Developments announced the addition of a 2.7-kilometre-long crystal lagoon to Riviera, covering an area of over 130,026 square metres that will stretch across the entirety of the community. With stunning blue flooring, filled with more than 51.5 million gallons of crystal-clear, desalinated and clean water that residents can swim in, and easily accessible via its lagoon walk — which will also feature a vast variety of artisan eateries and boutiques — Azizi’s lagoon will be a bustling space where residents can enjoy strolls along the beach-like shores, sunbathe and cool off.

With its strategic location near the upcoming Meydan One Mall and the Meydan Racecourse — home of the Dubai World Cup — as well as Dubai’s most noteworthy points of interest, Riviera represents one of Azizi Developments’ most coveted projects.
