Azizi Developments’ Burj Azizi Wins ‘Iconic Design Of The Year’ At The Finance World Magazine’s UAE Realty Awards 2025
Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has received the ‘Iconic Design of the Year’ award for Burj Azizi, the world’s second-tallest tower, at the UAE Realty Awards 2025 hosted by Finance World Magazine. This accolade underscores not only the project’s impressive magnitude, but also its extraordinary, iconic design.
The ceremony, held on the 25th of April 2025 at the Moorea Ballroom, Sofitel Dubai The Palm, celebrated the nation’s most innovative real estate achievements. Burj Azizi was recognized for its distinctive design language, daring form, and transformative impact on the emirate’s skyline.
Commenting on the win, Mr. Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of the Azizi group of companies, said: “It is a tremendous honor to have Burj Azizi named ‘Iconic Design of the Year’. This award reflects our team’s dedication to pushing boundaries and delivering developments that embody ambition, innovation, and timelessness, with Burj Azizi set to become a global landmark.”
Scheduled for completion by 2028, the 725-meter high, 131+ story tower offers an exquisite mix of residential, hotel, retail, and entertainment spaces. An ultra-luxury mall, home to most high-end fashion brands, will occupy the retail section. The residential section will include luxurious one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. For every 20 floors of residences, a dedicated amenity floor is planned, consisting of swimming pools with sauna and steam room, a fully fitted gym and yoga center, a spa, a games room including billiard, chess, and ping-pong, a business center, a kids’ play area, a cinema, a restaurant and coffee shop, and a supermarket. The luxury apartments will be topped by premium penthouses, ranging from one to five-bedroom units and enjoying exclusive access to all amenities. Separate lobbies will serve the residences and the penthouse units.
Up even higher along this vertical world is an all-suite seven-star hotel, set to become a major attraction that will take Dubai’s standards of luxury and opulence to new heights. Inspired by seven cultural themes – Arabic, Chinese, Persian, Indian, Turkish, French, and Russian – the hotel will offer a new standard in comfort and hospitality, including culturally styled restaurants for each cultural theme. An authentic Emirati restaurant will be another key feature of the hotel. Moreover, the hotel will include a luxury ballroom and a beach club.
Among the world records set by Burj Azizi will be the highest observation deck on level 130, the highest hotel lobby on level 111, the highest nightclub on level 126, the highest restaurant on level 122, and the highest hotel room on level 118. At the top, the building will also house a special museum that will showcase the chronology of the building’s evolution, recognizing personalities involved through multimedia exhibits, including photos, videos, and graphics.
