Samia Azizi in Al Furjan ... due for completion this year.

UAE-based Azizi Developments says work is progressing at a steady pace on its Dh265-million ($72 million) Samia Azizi project, in Al Furjan, Dubai, UAE, with the structure already completed and the mechanical and electrical installations well under way.

Finishing works on the units and preparations for façade and elevation works have also begun, says Azizi.

A key residential development, Samia Azizi is a 12-storey building with two podium levels and a basement, offering a total of 284 units, comprising 137 studios, 124 one- and 23 two-bedroom apartments, in addition to a retail space of 7,000 sq ft. It will also feature parking facilities, a swimming pool and a cutting-edge gymnasium.

On the market, group chairman Mirwais Azizi says: “The UAE real estate market continues to be driven by competitive pricing, location and quality. We are seeing a surge in the demand for premier residential projects that offer a community lifestyle and a full range of facilities.”

“Al Furjan’s strategic location near the Expo 2020 site along with the easy access to the Al Maktoum International Airport, make it a prized investment for buyers and investors, and we expect it will be a valuable new addition to the community once it is completed later this year,” he adds.
