Azizi Venice
“The new Venice. A master-planned lagoon paradise.”
Official project imagery from Azizi Developments. Renders are the developer’s representation of the finished building and are indicative, not contractual.
The asset
Airport-adjacent masterplan appreciation
Azizi Venice is a city, not a building: sixteen thousand residences arranged around an eighteen-kilometre swimmable crystal lagoon with artificial waves and sweet water. Floating walkways, a 700-metre retail boulevard, an opera house and a community cable-car line sit inside the plan. It is the most ambitious thing being built in southwest Dubai, and it is being built in phases — which is the whole investment argument.
The site sits beside Al Maktoum International Airport, the aviation project intended to become the largest in the world. Dubai’s masterplan is moving southwest, and this is the residential address at the centre of that move. Buying Phase 1 is the equivalent of buying Dubai Marina before the towers went up: the ground-floor price, before the infrastructure matures around it.

Why this one
Three reasons it earns its place
Adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport — capital appreciation tracks the airport’s build-out, which is federal policy, not a developer’s promise.
The swimmable lagoon makes it a genuine short-stay and holiday-let asset, not just a long-term rental.
Free-zone designation: 100% foreign ownership, no income or property tax, clean capital repatriation.
The objection
“Is Dubai South too far out?”
Today, yes — and that is the price you are being paid to accept. Al Maktoum is being expanded to handle 260 million passengers a year, and the workforce, hotels and logistics estates follow the runway. You are buying the address before the city arrives around it, not after. The risk is timing, and the payment plan is structured so you are not exposed to it all at once.
The arithmetic
What this actually pays you
Pre-loaded with Azizi Venice at its published starting price and mid-band yield. Move the sliders to test your own assumptions — every figure updates in your chosen currency.
Published band for this asset: 8.0%–10.0% gross.
Charged per square foot by the building, billed annually. 1.5% of value is the planning default.
The cash you actually put in to secure the unit. Everything after it is scheduled.
Net figures deduct service charges only. Budget separately for the one-off 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee, administrative charges and any letting or management fee — all of which are laid out in writing before you reserve.
