Azizi Developments, one of the leading private developers in the UAE, has awarded a Dh166-million contract ($45.19 million) to UAE-based Progress Construction for the development of Azizi Grand, its first residential project coming up at Dubai Sports City.

Azizi Grand will boast a total of 431 apartments with balconies, including 238 studio, 140 one- and 53 two-bedroom units. Spread across 47,100 sq m, the building architecturally resembles four towers merging into one, said the Emirati developer in its statement.

It also features two swimming pools, six panoramic view elevators, and two staircases. The project is located along the bourgeoning Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road corridor, and is just minutes away from the expanding Al Maktoum International Airport and the site of Expo 2020.  

Group chairman Mirwais Azizi said: "We are delighted to announce the appointment of a contractor to begin construction of our first project in Dubai Sports City. Azizi Grand is a reflection of our strategy to develop vibrant communities in dynamic locations, of Dubai and support the government’s vision to further cement the UAE’s dynamic real estate sector."

"Azizi Grand’s modern design and superb location will offer a high-value proposition for long-term investors and end-users looking for strong returns. Furthermore, the location in Sports City will make it an attractive option for people looking for a destination which offers good work-life balance," stated Azizi.

Azizi Grand is in proximity to developed community amenities like the 25,000-capacity Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai Sports City Football Stadium, Victory Heights Primary School and Gems Bradenton Preparatory Academy, and is in close proximity to the flagship Els Golf Club.

Azizi is currently working on developing more than 200 projects in 2018. Among the biggest projects are Azizi Riviera – the developer’s flagship development in Meydan One and Azizi Victoria – the mega-community project in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City – District 7, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
