Azizi Florence Um Fanain Sharjah

Azizi Florence is the first project Azizi Developments has built outside Dubai: a master-planned community in Um Fanain, Sharjah, announced in September 2026 at a development value of AED 30 billion (about USD 8.2 billion). It covers about 30 million sq ft in six residential clusters around a 1.7 million sq ft central park, and plans about 1,130 villas, more than 6,000 townhouses and 3,500 apartments. Launch reports and broker pages print the starting price as AED 1.89 million (about Rs 4.87 crore) for a three-bedroom townhouse.

The plan is 10/20/70 and handover is published as Q3 2029. The one thing to hold on to while reading the rest: this is a Sharjah purchase. The registration authority, the fee, the escrow law and the rental market are Sharjah's, not Dubai's, and this page does not borrow Dubai's rules to fill a gap. We list it beside every UAE project we track in the Dubai section, and the full list is on our projects page.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

No single source prints the whole price list, so here is each figure with where it came from. The 3 BHK townhouse price and its AED 850 per sq ft rate are from the launch coverage; the rest are portal and broker figures.

The townhouse sizes are worked back from the AED 850 per sq ft rate, so treat them as estimates until you have the floor plan. The rate is the useful number when you compare launches: about AED 850 to 1,000 per sq ft across the published townhouse and villa types.

The 3,500 Azizi Florence apartments are the gap. No source we checked prices them or gives their sizes, so anyone quoting an apartment figure today is quoting ahead of Azizi. We have no price history to compare against either: Um Fanain is a new district, and the nearest established community, Sharjah Sustainable City, is a different product from a different developer.

Payment plan and total cost

Azizi's published plan is 10% on booking, 20% during construction and 70% on handover, a 30/70 split with nothing to pay after the keys. That keeps the entry cost low and pushes most of the price to 2029.

Sharjah's fees are not Dubai's

Dubai buyers pay a flat 4% DLD transfer fee and register off-plan sales on Oqood. Neither is a Sharjah mechanism. Sharjah registers property through its own Real Estate Registration Department, and the guides we checked put its fee at 2% of the price for most buyers, with some saying up to 4% depending on the buyer's nationality. They do not agree, and none quotes this project, so the range above is a range on purpose: ask Azizi for the fee in writing before you book.

The buyer protection is Sharjah's too. Executive Council Resolution No. 37 of 2024 requires development projects to be registered and buyers' money to be paid into an escrow account, released as construction is certified. Ask for the project's registration number and escrow account in your booking form. The service charge has not been published; a community with a 1.7 million sq ft park and shared facilities will carry one, so ask for the estimate per sq ft.

Location and connectivity

Um Fanain sits on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), and Azizi Florence fronts directly onto it, with Sharjah Sustainable City next door. That road is the main reason the site works: it runs south-west into Dubai and north towards the rest of Sharjah and the northern emirates. A broker page puts the Azizi Florence Sharjah location at about 10 minutes from Sharjah International Airport, 15 from Emirates Road (E611) and 20 from Dubai International Airport. Those are off-peak figures; drive it at rush hour before you rely on them.

What the district does not have yet is everything around the homes. The master plan promises retail, hospitality, schools, leisure and wellness space and the central park, but they arrive with the phases, so the first residents will live in a community that is still being built. Plan on a car for everything at first.

Amenities and specifications

The centrepiece is the 1.7 million sq ft central park, with the six residential clusters arranged around it. Azizi's launch material lists residential, retail, hospitality, education, leisure and wellness components, which should put schools and shops inside the community rather than a drive away.

What has not been published is the detail: finishes, appliance schedules, private pools on the villas, parking per home and the service-charge budget. Ask for the floor plan of your own unit and cluster, since sizes vary by type. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Azizi Developments has built in Dubai since 2007 and has delivered more than 14,000 homes. Its reference project is Azizi Riviera in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, a 71-tower master plan handed over in phases since 2020, with 53 of 75 buildings delivered by August 2025. Its other large project is Azizi Venice in Dubai South, and its Dubai portfolio is on our Azizi Dubai page.

The record is real volume with a real calendar problem: an industry reading of DLD delivery data puts Azizi at about 89.1% of units handed over on or before the registered date, with some Al Furjan and Riviera phases 12 to 24 months late in 2019-2022, and a tighter record since 2023. Florence is its first project in Sharjah, so there is no Sharjah delivery record to judge yet. For a master plan of more than 10,000 homes, plan on the published date plus some slack.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Sharjah now allows foreign buyers to own freehold in designated areas, and Azizi Florence is sold as a freehold community open to all nationalities. Sharjah's registration department issues the title, not Dubai's DLD, so read the title type in your SPA.

Sending the money. Each resident Indian can remit USD 250,000 per financial year under the LRS, so a couple can send USD 500,000. The entry townhouse is about USD 515,000, but only 30% (about USD 154,000) is due before handover, which fits inside one allowance a year. The 70% at handover, about USD 360,000, needs two remitters, savings built up over the years, or a UAE mortgage. TCS of 20% on remittances above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The UAE's 10-year Golden Visa for property worth AED 2 million or more is a federal rule, so a Sharjah home can count, though the paperwork goes through Sharjah's authorities. The 3 BHK townhouse misses by AED 110,000; the 4 BHK townhouse from AED 2.26 million and every villa clear it. Our Golden Visa guide covers the steps.

Rent and tax. No source publishes rents for Um Fanain, because nobody lives there yet, so any yield quoted is a projection. The UAE does not tax the rent; an Indian tax resident declares it in India with the 30% standard deduction and reports the home in Schedule FA. Our guide to buying in the UAE from India covers the remittance paperwork, which is the same for Sharjah.

Pros

• A 3 BHK townhouse from AED 1.89 million, about AED 850 per sq ft
• Only 30% is due before handover under the 10/20/70 plan
• A planned community with a 1.7 million sq ft park, schools and retail, not a single tower
• Freehold, sold to all nationalities
• The 4 BHK townhouse from AED 2.26 million and every villa clear the AED 2 million Golden Visa line

Cons

• 70% - AED 1,323,000 on the entry townhouse - falls due at handover, so you need the cash or a mortgage in 2029
• Sharjah's registration rules and fees differ from Dubai's and are less widely published; check every figure in writing
• Over 10,000 homes in one master plan from one developer means heavy competition when owners rent or resell
• Azizi's Dubai record includes phases delivered 12 to 24 months late
• Apartment prices, sizes and the cluster-by-cluster timetable have not been published
• Um Fanain is a new district with no rental history to price against

Who this is for

• Families who want a 3 or 4 BHK townhouse with a garden-park setting for under AED 2.3 million
• Buyers working in Sharjah or along the E311 who want new-build space
• Golden Visa buyers looking at the 4 BHK townhouse or a villa
• Buyers who can fund a large handover payment in 2029

Who should look elsewhere

• Investors who want a Dubai title deed and Dubai's rental market
• Anyone without a plan for the 70% handover payment
• Buyers who need a home before 2029
• Yield-first buyers who need rent evidence before committing

Our verdict

Florence is a large bet by a Dubai developer on Sharjah, and the pricing shows it: AED 850 per sq ft for a 3 BHK townhouse is a family-home price, not a Dubai investor's price. The plan is the thing to understand. With only 30% due before handover, the entry cost is low, but AED 1.32 million is due in 2029, and a buyer who cannot fund it then is exposed. The other risk is supply: more than 10,000 homes in one community from one developer will compete with each other for tenants and resale buyers. Azizi's Dubai delivery record is real but has included late phases, and this is its first project in Sharjah, under Sharjah's rules.

Worth a look for a family or end-user who wants a townhouse with space and can plan for the handover payment. For a pure investor it is harder to call: there is no rent history in Um Fanain, the supply is very large, and the fee and registration process is Sharjah's. Get the registration number, the escrow account and the fee schedule in writing first.

FAQs

Is Azizi Florence in Dubai?

No. Azizi Florence is in Um Fanain, in the emirate of Sharjah, on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road next to Sharjah Sustainable City. It is often searched as 'Azizi Florence Dubai' because Azizi is a Dubai developer. The registering authority, the fees and the rental market are Sharjah's.

What is the Azizi Florence handover date?

Q3 2029, with one source giving a completion date of 31 July 2029. The community will hand over in phases; the date in the SPA for your cluster is the one that binds.

What is the Azizi Florence Sharjah location?

Um Fanain, with frontage on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Sharjah Sustainable City next door. A broker page quotes 10 minutes to Sharjah International Airport, 15 to Emirates Road and 20 to DXB, which are off-peak figures.

When was the Azizi Florence launch date?

Azizi announced the project on 9 September 2026 and unveiled it at an event in Dubai on 10 September 2026, as its first project in Sharjah.

Is there an Azizi Florence floor plan or brochure?

Azizi publishes the project on its own website, but no floor plan or brochure was in the sources checked. Ask for the plan of your exact unit and cluster, because sizes differ by type.

What fees apply on top of the price?

Sharjah's registration fee, not Dubai's 4% DLD transfer fee. Guides put it at 2% of the price for most buyers and up to 4% in some cases, AED 37,800 to 75,600 on the entry townhouse. Get the exact figure from Azizi in writing.

Does it qualify for a Golden Visa?

The AED 2 million threshold is a federal rule, so property in Sharjah can count, though the paperwork runs through Sharjah's authorities. The 3 BHK townhouse at AED 1.89 million misses by AED 110,000; the 4 BHK townhouse and every villa clear it.

Can an Indian buyer purchase here?

Yes. Azizi Florence is sold as a freehold community open to all nationalities. At about USD 515,000, the entry townhouse is more than one person's LRS allowance of USD 250,000 a year, but only 30% is due before handover, so the payments can be spread across years and family members.
