Azizi Riviera 22: Apartments at the Centre of Meydan One
Azizi Riviera 22 is one residential building within Azizi Developments' large-scale Azizi Riviera community at Meydan One, Dubai. The Azizi Riviera spans many buildings across a shared masterplan, and Riviera 22 sits within that wider ecosystem of amenities and infrastructure. Construction started in December 2017, and with an expected completion of June 2023 now more than three years behind us, this is a finished development.
A Meydan Address and What It Delivers in Practice
Meydan occupies the middle arc of Dubai, positioned between Downtown and the city's outer residential corridors. Meydan One is a master-planned community that gives residents a centrally connected address without the price premium attached to Business Bay or Downtown directly.
From Meydan, drivers reach Downtown Dubai in roughly 10 to 15 minutes via Al Khail Road. Dubai International Airport sits approximately 20 minutes east. The Meydan Racecourse is a near neighbour, which gives the district a character distinct from standard residential clusters and draws some of Dubai's largest annual events to the area.
For an investor, this location connects to the commuter corridors where rental demand concentrates. A professional working in Business Bay or Downtown who needs more space for the budget tends to look at Meydan as a practical middle ground.
Studios and Larger Apartments From AED 600,000
The listed entry price for Azizi Riviera 22 sits at AED 600,000. The building includes studios at around 408 sq ft and larger one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments in the 1,750 to 1,770 sq ft range.
At AED 600,000, the studio entry is competitive for a Meydan address. A buyer at this price is trading square footage for location access and the Azizi Riviera's built-out community. The one- and two-bedroom layouts run notably large for Dubai apartments at this price tier. Floor areas of 1,750-plus sq ft suit resident families or tenants who need a full living setup rather than a compact unit.
What Nine Amenities Say About the Resident Profile
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Gymnasium, Well-being and Fitness, Health Club |
| Outdoor and Leisure | Landscaped Parks, Shared Pool, Children's Play Area |
| Retail and Dining | Retail Facilities, Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Three separate fitness and wellness entries give residents more options than the single gym common in most entry-level Dubai buildings. The on-site retail and dining reduce the need for daily drives out of the community, which matters in a car-dependent city. The children's play area and landscaped parks together point to a development built for longer-term residents rather than short-stay tenants.
This amenity package positions Azizi Riviera 22 above the bare-minimum offering at this price point while staying clearly in the mid-market range.
A Project That Has Crossed Its Completion Date
Azizi Riviera 22 carried an expected completion of June 2023. As of mid-2026, that window is more than three years past. This is a completed-project purchase rather than an off-plan bet. Resale units in the Azizi Riviera complex are available on the secondary market.
The Original Payment Structure: Getting In for 10%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 50% |
Azizi Riviera 22 originally required a 10% down payment to secure a unit, with 40% paid across construction milestones and the remaining 50% due at handover. A 10% entry made the initial capital outlay low, which opened the project to buyers who wanted Meydan exposure without committing a large sum at signing.
For buyers entering through the secondary market now, this installment plan no longer applies. Any purchase here will reflect current secondary-market terms rather than the original developer schedule.
