Dubai, UAE
Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has unveiled Azizi Milan, a Dh75 billion master-planned community that will span 40,000,000 square feet in gross floor area (GFA). It comprises 81,200 homes and another 800 keys, housing a population of 144,000. Azizi Milan is set to be one of the largest mixed-use communities in the country.
Mr. Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, said, “Much like the famed city of Milan, known for its beauty and elegance, Azizi Milan will embody the spirit of Italian living, right here in our home – Dubai. We have put a lot of thought into every detail, thinking about public spaces and community areas as well as creating homes that are as sophisticated and sustainable as they are welcoming. As with our other major projects, we are committed to building world-class homes and infrastructure that elevate the lifestyles of all those who will visit, live and work in what will soon be the classy, tasteful, and sustainable fashion capital of the Middle East. It is His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, who through his unparalleled visionary leadership has nurtured the emirate into the high-in-demand city that it is today, and it is with pride that we will help satiate that demand with our largest-yet community, Azizi Milan.”
Azizi Milan will host residential projects, a mall, luxury hotels, retail districts, office spaces, and lifestyle amenities, including schools, nurseries, mosques, wellness facilities, and parks. Panoramic elevators offer residents and visitors views of the community’s many fountains and water features.
The community’s tallest towers, which will shape the northern skyline, will rise up to 70 storeys high, while low- to mid-rises from 25 to 35 storeys make up the central part of the development, easing the shift into a quieter, more tranquil residential atmosphere. The layout incorporates centric planning principles allowing people to move easily, minimising congestion and overcrowding. In addition, the community will feature a canal that will provide a unique waterfront setting for residents and visitors.
Azizi Milan has been conceptualised with inspiration from Milan’s rich cultural heritage. Its bold arches and design elements add to aesthetics as well as function. Furthermore, it is poised to become the fashion capital of the region with its network of pedestrian-only fashion streets – each dedicated to their own realm of fashion, including one for perfumery, one for cosmetics, and more for bags, dress fashion, and beyond. Lined with an ample number of high-fashion brands and boutique shops, as well as numerous cafes, fine-dining restaurants, and nightlife entertainment options, Azizi Milan will form a focal point for those who enjoy the city’s vibrant after-hours, as well as for those wanting to be part of internationally acclaimed fashion shows and other high-calibre events that will be hosted there.
Sustainability is a key consideration that guides the entire development of this contemporary zero-carbon community. To offset emissions, Azizi will support landmark mangrove carbon projects, as well as global forest and solar developments certified by VERRA and the Gold Standard. Next to a wide array of green building practices being implemented, every single building will feature its own landscaped rooftop garden, with the entirety of all roofs, as well as all podiums and a vast number of dedicated areas surrounding the residences, being planted with trees and flowers. Infinity pools will be framed by greenery.
Azizi Milan follows the successful blueprint, construction and sales of Azizi’s Riviera in MBR City, and Azizi Venice in Dubai South, with Azizi Developments serving as the master developer, overseeing road networks and general infrastructure.
Strategically situated on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Azizi Milan offers accessibility to Dubai’s key landmarks and other emirates. Adding to its location’s appeal, the community is just a short walk from the nearest future Blue Line metro station.
