Azizi Riviera 18: Apartments in the Heart of Meydan One
Azizi Riviera 18 is one of multiple residential towers that Azizi Developments has delivered within the Azizi Riviera sub-community inside Meydan One. The project reached handover in mid-2023, making this a fully built asset. Buyers here are acquiring a finished apartment in a large master-planned community, not an off-plan position.
The building offers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments across floors one through eight, with unit sizes varying significantly by layout and floor level.
What Meydan Means in Practice
Meydan sits within Mohammed Bin Rashid City, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Business Bay by car. Al Khail Road runs through the area, providing direct access to the main arterial connecting the city's north and south.
This is not a standalone tower in an undeveloped plot. The Azizi Riviera is a large residential precinct within Meydan One, meaning residents are entering a community that already has retail, restaurants, parks, and shared infrastructure in place. The Meydan racecourse sits adjacent to the area, and the surrounding Mohammed Bin Rashid City continues to grow in density and services.
For investors, that context shapes the rental thesis. Entry into a community with operational amenities and commercial services in place tends to support stable occupancy, especially for smaller unit types.
AED 561,000 for a Finished Unit
The listed price is AED 561,000 across this project. That is a single price point rather than a range.
Unit sizes span from compact studios at 322 to 400 sq ft through one-bedroom layouts ranging from 516 to 855 sq ft, with a two-bedroom option at around 910 sq ft. The spread within the one-bedroom category is significant: a 516 sq ft layout and an 855 sq ft layout represent materially different living spaces, even at the same headline figure.
Studios at this price are primarily an investor buy. They are compact, low running costs, and naturally fit the rental market in the Meydan corridor. One-bedroom buyers divide between yield-focused investors and singles or couples who want the community amenities without committing to a larger footprint. The two-bedroom at 910 sq ft for AED 561,000 is tight on space but represents good value for a young couple or family prioritising location and amenity access over square footage.
Amenities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Health Club, Gymnasium, Well-being and Fitness |
| Outdoor & Family | Landscaped Parks, Children's Pool, Children's Play Area |
| Community | Shared Pool, Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
| Security | CCTV Security, Security |
The project lists eleven amenities across four categories. The fitness provision alone covers three distinct spaces: a health club, a gymnasium, and a well-being and fitness facility. Three spaces dedicated to fitness and wellness signals a positioning choice aimed at active residents rather than buyers focused purely on yield.
The children's pool and play area extend the building's practical appeal to small families, not just young professionals. On-site retail and restaurant facilities mean residents have day-to-day convenience without driving out of the community.
Already Handed Over
Construction on Azizi Riviera 18 started in December 2017. The expected completion date was July 2023, and the project has now completed. Buyers looking at this building are purchasing a finished unit in a delivered structure.
That removes the timing risk inherent in off-plan purchases. The construction phase is done, and the building is operational within a functioning community.
Getting In for 10%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 10% |
| During Construction | 40% |
| Handover | 50% |
The developer payment plan required a 10% down payment. On a AED 561,000 purchase, that amounts to approximately AED 56,100 to secure the unit. A 10% entry point is at the low end for Dubai apartment sales, which made this accessible to buyers with limited upfront capital during the off-plan phase.
The largest single payment of 50% fell at handover. Given the project's completion in July 2023, that milestone has passed.
