In the latest travel news from the United Arab Emirates, a groundbreaking Dubai skyscraper is set to redefine the city’s skyline again.
The Burj Azizi, now under construction, will reach 725 meters, making it the second-tallest building in the world, surpassing Malaysia’s 679-meter Merdeka 118. It’s set for completion in 2028.
This new skyscraper in Dubai will not only reshape the Dubai skyline but also strengthen the city’s reputation for pushing the boundaries of modern architecture.
A New Landmark in Dubai Architecture
Azizi Developments, one of the UAE’s most prominent real estate developers, has begun work on what is expected to become one of the most iconic Dubai buildings.
Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, near the World Trade Centre, the Burj Azizi will tower over its surroundings, adding to the collection of the tallest buildings in Dubai.
According to Azizi Developments, the new skyscraper in Dubai will feature an array of luxurious amenities that will attract tourists, locals, and residents alike. “Burj Azizi is meant to become a significant landmark of Dubai’s skyline and an attraction for tourists, locals, and residents,” stated the company in its official press release.
An Architectural Marvel
This Dubai skyscraper will have 131 floors and offer the world’s highest nightclub, observation deck, and restaurant. The building will also include luxurious hotels, wellness centers, swimming pools, apartments, fitness studios, and cinemas.
Its glazed exterior, made up of multiple rectangular forms, is set to become a striking addition to Dubai architecture, a blend of modern elegance and grandeur.
Azizi Developments aims to make Burj Azizi a crown jewel of Dubai architecture, contributing to the city’s future while honoring its past.
With such ambitious plans, Burj Azizi is expected to surpass other tallest buildings in Dubai, including the Marina 101 and Princess Tower, both located in Dubai Marina.
Financing and Future Prospects
The estimated cost of constructing Burj Azizi is approximately 1.6 billion USD, a sum that has already been secured, making the 2028 completion target seem achievable.
However, as other megaprojects like the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia have shown, there is some skepticism surrounding such massive undertakings.
Despite delays and revisions in the height of the Jeddah Tower, Azizi Developments remains optimistic that Burj Azizi will meet its ambitious timeline. As noted in the press release, “This legacy is meant to give back to the Emirate of Dubai, an international destination for all seekers of opportunities, comfort, luxury, and high-quality living.”
Dubai Continues to Dominate Global Skyline Rankings
Once completed, Burj Azizi will join the ranks of iconic Dubai buildings, standing proudly alongside the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world at 829.8 meters.
Dubai has long been a city of superlatives, with its commitment to innovation and ambition reflected in its towering structures. From the Dubai skyline to its ever-expanding architectural footprint, the city continues to attract global attention with its record-breaking skyscrapers.
The completion of Burj Azizi will further elevate Dubai’s status as a global hub for luxury, tourism, and architectural marvels.
