Azizi Gabriel Downtown Jebel Ali Dubai

Azizi Gabriel is an apartment building by Azizi Developments in Downtown Jebel Ali, on Sheikh Zayed Road beside the Jebel Ali Free Zone. Azizi launched it in November 2025. One project portal counts 255 homes over four basement levels, three podium levels and a ground floor with 11 floors above, so this is a mid-rise building, not a tower.

Studios of about 329 sq ft start from AED 564,000 (about Rs 1.45 crore), one-bedrooms from AED 829,000 and two-bedrooms of about 1,096 sq ft from about AED 1.6 million. The plan is 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% at handover, and handover is on record for Q4 2028. This page works through what the entry studio really costs, how it compares with the other launches in the district, and who should buy it.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The sources agree on the entry figure: the source listing, Property Finder's project page and several broker pages all print AED 564,000 for the studio, and one of them works it out at about AED 1,715 per sq ft. The one-bedroom's size is not printed next to its AED 829,000 price, so we give no rate for it. The published size range, about 329.81 to 1,096.42 sq ft, is Azizi's; the final area of your unit is the one printed on the SPA.

The useful comparison is with the other new buildings in the same district. Azizi's own Azizi Abraham starts at AED 505,000 for a 318 sq ft studio, about AED 1,588 per sq ft, with handover in 2027. Eleve by Deyaar prices studios of 419 to 423 sq ft from AED 555,458, about AED 1,326 per sq ft, with handover in Q2 2027. Gabriel's studio therefore costs more per foot than both and arrives a year or more later.

What Gabriel offers in return is a smaller building: 255 homes in a mid-rise, against 842 in Eleve's 38-storey tower. Its two-bedroom is the best rate here, about AED 1,460 per sq ft, if the AED 1.6 million price and the 1,096 sq ft size belong to the same unit.

Payment plan and total cost

Azizi sells Gabriel on a three-stage plan. One portal calls it 50/50, meaning 50% paid by completion and 50% at handover; the others spell out the same thing as 20/30/50.

Your first outlay is about AED 135,400: the 20% booking plus the 4% DLD fee, which is paid when the sale is registered on Oqood, the DLD's off-plan register. Azizi's own admin charge is added on its cost sheet; the sources checked do not state it, so ask for it in writing before you book. There is no sales tax and no VAT on a residential sale.

The heavy stage is the last one. AED 282,000 falls due in a single payment at handover, which on Azizi's schedule is late 2028. Some launches in the district push part of the price past handover; Eleve, for example, leaves only 12% at handover and spreads 30% over the 30 months after it. At Gabriel you either hold the 50% in cash or arrange a UAE mortgage for it close to completion, and a non-resident buyer should expect the bank to lend a smaller share than a resident gets.

Service charge. No figure for Gabriel is published by the sources checked. Downtown Jebel Ali buildings publish their charges on Mollak, the DLD's service-charge platform, once registered, and the district sits below the prime areas. Budget for it as a real cost, and look Gabriel up on Mollak before handover rather than trusting an estimate.

Location and connectivity

Downtown Jebel Ali is a district on Sheikh Zayed Road at the southern end of the city, planned around the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). Azizi describes JAFZA as the world's largest free zone and home to more than 100 Fortune Global 500 companies. Those companies' staff are Gabriel's tenants: people who want to live near work, on the Metro, at rents below Dubai Marina's.

The district's best feature is its Red Line Metro station. Jebel Ali station, renamed National Paints in 2024, has an entrance into Downtown Jebel Ali, and Dubai Marina is about 20 minutes away by train or car. Ibn Battuta Mall is about ten minutes by road, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) and Expo City about 15 to 20. Azizi says the building has direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road.

This is still a district being built. Azizi has several towers here, including Abraham and Aryan, and Deyaar's 842-home Eleve is due in 2027, so expect cranes around you and a steady flow of new studios onto the rental market in 2027 and 2028. That supply is the main risk to rents. Against it, area guides put gross yields at about 5.4% on a one-bedroom, 5.1% on a two-bedroom and 6.8% on a three-bedroom, above prime Dubai.

Amenities and specifications

Azizi lists a longer amenity set than most buildings of this size: separate fully equipped gyms for men and women, swimming pools for adults and children, a private cinema, a gaming lounge, a multipurpose hall, an indoor children's play area, landscaped outdoor spaces, parking and 24/7 security. Portals add landscaped green promenades.

Inside, Azizi describes "European-inspired interiors" and high-quality finishes. The detail that matters to a landlord is that the one-bedrooms have two bathrooms, a living and dining area, a kitchen and a balcony; that layout lets well to two working sharers, which is common in a free-zone district.

What is not published: appliance brands, whether kitchens come fitted with white goods, smart-home fittings, and how many parking bays come with each unit. Do not assume a furnished unit unless the SPA says so. Everything is final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Azizi Developments has built in Dubai since 2007 and says it has delivered more than 14,000 homes. It is a private company, part of the Azizi Group, and builds mostly mid-market apartments in Al Furjan, Meydan, Dubai South and Downtown Jebel Ali.

Its delivery record is the most useful fact about it. An industry reading of DLD data puts about 89.1% of its contracted units at or before the registered completion date. The misses were real: some Al Furjan and Riviera phases ran 12 to 24 months late between 2019 and 2022, and the record has been tighter since. Its largest project, Azizi Riviera in Meydan (Mohammed Bin Rashid City), has handed over 53 of its 75 buildings, and the company said it would hand over 22 projects and roughly 5,000 homes in 2026.

For Gabriel that record means the building will very probably be finished, with a slip of a few months beyond Q4 2028 possible, so do not plan a tenancy or a sale around the brochure date. It also means your tenants and resale buyers will be choosing between several Azizi buildings in the same district.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Downtown Jebel Ali is a freehold area, so an Indian citizen, resident in the UAE or not, owns the apartment outright with a title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department. Until the building is finished the purchase is recorded on Oqood, the DLD's off-plan register. The UAE charges no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can send USD 500,000. The AED 564,000 studio is about USD 153,600, and about USD 159,700 with the DLD fee, so one person can fund the whole purchase in a single year. Because 50% is due only at handover, most buyers will remit in three stages: the booking and fee now, the instalments during the build, and AED 282,000, about USD 76,800, in late 2028. Tax collected at source applies above the threshold and is credited against your Indian tax.

Golden Visa. The threshold is AED 2 million of property. No single unit in Gabriel reaches it; the two-bedroom at about AED 1.6 million is about AED 400,000 short. The DLD allows more than one property to count towards the total.

Rent and tax. District one-bedrooms let from about AED 54,000 a year and two-bedrooms from about AED 68,500. On the AED 829,000 one-bedroom, AED 54,000 is about 6.5% gross before the service charge; area guides give 5.4% as the district's one-bedroom average, so treat 6.5% as the optimistic end. No studio rent is published by the sources checked. The UAE does not tax the rent, but an Indian tax resident declares it as income from house property with the 30% standard deduction, and reports the asset in Schedule FA every year.

Exit. Selling before handover usually needs Azizi's consent and a minimum share of the price paid; ask for the rule in the SPA.

Pros

• Entry studio at AED 564,000 is about USD 153,600, inside one person's yearly Indian remittance allowance
• Only 20% is due at booking and 30% through the build, so the cash goes out over three years
• Downtown Jebel Ali has a Red Line Metro station inside the district and JAFZA as its employer
• One-bedrooms come with two bathrooms, which lets well to sharers
• Azizi has delivered more than 14,000 homes, most of them close to the registered date
• A mid-rise building of 255 homes, smaller than the district's 38-storey towers

Cons

• Half the price, AED 282,000 on the studio, falls due at handover in one payment
• At about AED 1,710 per sq ft the studio costs more per foot than Eleve by Deyaar's studios in the same district
• Handover in Q4 2028 is later than Azizi Abraham, Azizi Aryan and Eleve nearby
• The studio is small at about 329 sq ft
• No service-charge figure and no DLD project number are published by the sources checked
• Several Azizi towers in the district will compete for the same tenants and resale buyers

Who this is for

• Indian investors who want a Dubai studio inside one person's LRS allowance
• Buyers who can set aside half the price for a single payment in late 2028
• Landlords targeting JAFZA and Dubai South staff who commute by Metro
• Sharers' landlords who want a one-bedroom with two bathrooms

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want rent before 2029
• Anyone who needs a post-handover plan to spread the last 50%
• Golden Visa seekers: no unit here reaches AED 2 M on its own
• Buyers who want the lowest AED per sq ft in Downtown Jebel Ali

Our verdict

Gabriel is the plainest kind of Azizi product: small studios and one-bedrooms near a free zone, sold on a plan that asks for little up front and half at the end. The entry price is what makes it interesting to an Indian buyer, because AED 564,000 fits inside one person's yearly remittance allowance with room for the fees. The rate is less of a bargain than the ticket: about AED 1,710 per sq ft on the studio is above Eleve by Deyaar's published studio rate in the same district. The 50% handover payment in late 2028 is the thing to plan for, and Azizi's record says it will probably arrive close to the date. The district's Metro station and JAFZA tenants are real, but so is the supply of similar studios around it.

Worth a look for an Indian investor who wants a Metro-served Dubai studio within one LRS allowance and can hold AED 282,000 ready for late 2028. Compare it line by line with Azizi Abraham, Azizi Aryan and Eleve before choosing, because those deliver sooner. Ask for the DLD project number and the admin fee before booking.
