Azizi Leily Al Jaddaf Dubai

Azizi Leily is a single 20-storey tower of 283 homes in Al Jaddaf by Azizi Developments, listed on Azizi's site under Dubai Healthcare City. It has studios, one and two-bedroom apartments and two penthouses, from about 330 to 3,482 sq ft. Studios start at AED 829,000 (about Rs 2.13 crore), the plan is 10/40/50 with half the price at handover, and Azizi dates the handover to December 2027.

For most buyers this is an entry-level purchase: a studio under AED 1 million in a district with its own metro station, about ten minutes from Downtown. The two things to plan around are the 50% handover payment and Azizi's record on dates, both covered below.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The AED 829,000 studio price is Azizi's own and matches the broker pages; a few round it to AED 828,000. One page prints a maximum size of 4,780 sq ft, which no other source repeats; the penthouse sizes above come from the launch announcement.

Against the district, the smallest studio is dear per foot. Al Jaddaf guides put rates between roughly AED 1,200 and 1,900 per sq ft, and a 330 sq ft studio at AED 829,000 is about AED 2,512. The one-bedroom at about AED 2,196 and the two-bedroom at about AED 2,125 are better value per foot, and the largest studio, at 401 sq ft, comes in near AED 2,067. As usual in Dubai, the small ticket costs more per square foot; Azizi's price list by floor settles the exact figure.

Payment plan and total cost

10/40/50: 10% on booking, 40% during construction, 50% at handover, nothing after. Some broker pages print 70/30 or 20/30/50; Azizi's page and launch release give 10/40/50. Worked on the AED 829,000 studio:

The plan is light until the keys and heavy at them. Spread over the roughly 15 months to December 2027, the 40% construction slice averages about AED 22,100 a month, though Azizi ties it to milestones. The AED 414,500 at handover has to come from savings, a sale or a UAE mortgage; banks lend to non-residents on completed Dubai property, but at lower loan-to-value than for residents, so plan it early.

No service charge is published. The nearest published figure in the district is Binghatti Creek at about AED 15.36 per sq ft a year, about AED 5,070 on a 330 sq ft studio. Ask Azizi for its estimate in writing.

Location and connectivity

Al Jaddaf sits on the south bank of Dubai Creek, between Dubai Healthcare City and Ras Al Khor, with Sheikh Rashid Road and Al Khail Road at its edges. Azizi lists Leily on its Dubai Healthcare City page, alongside its finished buildings in that area. The hospital and clinic cluster next door supplies a steady pool of tenants.

District guides put Downtown Dubai about 10 minutes away off-peak, DIFC and Business Bay 10 to 12, and Dubai International Airport about 12. Al Jadaf Metro on the Green Line is inside the district. The Creek-front Jaddaf Waterfront, with the Jameel Arts Centre, is a short drive. The district is still building, so expect construction around the tower until after handover.

In the same district, Ellington's Art Bay is the Creek-front, higher-priced option and Binghatti Moonlight another tower to compare. Everything we track in the emirate is on all Dubai projects, and the wider list is on the projects page.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted for the tower: a gym, sauna and steam rooms, adults' and children's pools, indoor and outdoor play areas, a cinema, a rooftop garden, a multipurpose hall and accessible facilities for residents with disabilities. Apartments are quoted with built-in wardrobes and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Not published: the appliance schedule, parking per unit, the service-charge budget and the escrow bank. For a studio buyer, ask whether a parking space is included in the price. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Azizi Developments, founded in 2007 by Mirwais Azizi, is one of Dubai's largest private developers by volume, with more than 14,000 homes delivered and 35 active projects on the DLD record as of August 2026. Its catalogue runs from JVC and Al Furjan to Azizi Riviera in MBR City, and it already has finished buildings in the Dubai Healthcare City area, among them Aliyah Residence.

The record on dates is mixed. One developer-data index puts 89.1% of contracted units handed over on or before the DLD-registered date, while several Al Furjan and Riviera phases ran 12 to 24 months late between 2019 and 2022; the 2023 to 2025 handovers have been closer to schedule. Buy Leily on the assumption that December 2027 could move. Other Azizi projects we cover are on our Azizi Dubai projects page.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Al Jaddaf is freehold for foreign buyers, resident or not, and the Dubai Land Department issues the title deed in your name. The UAE has no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale, so the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee — AED 33,160 on the studio — plus the AED 40 Oqood fee.

Remittance. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year. The AED 829,000 studio is about USD 226,000, and about USD 235,000 with the DLD fee, so one person can fund the whole purchase within one year's allowance. In practice the plan spreads it anyway: the booking is about USD 22,600 and the handover payment about USD 112,900, in a later financial year.

Golden Visa. The threshold is AED 2 million of property. The studio misses it by AED 1,171,000, the one-bedroom by AED 597,000 and the two-bedroom by AED 200,000. Only the two penthouses clear it. The DLD lets several properties in one name count together, which is the route for a buyer who wants the visa from smaller units.

Rent and tax. Bayut puts the average Al Jaddaf studio rent at about AED 55,696 a year: about 6.7% gross on AED 829,000, and about 6.1% after a service charge near the district benchmark. District guides quote gross yields near 5.7%, so treat 6% as a fair planning figure, not a floor. Rent and any capital gain are taxable in India for an Indian tax resident; the UAE levies no income tax on the rent.

Pros

• Studios from AED 829,000, inside one person's LRS allowance with the DLD fee
• Only 10% on booking and 40% in construction; half the price waits for handover
• Metro in the district and Downtown about 10 minutes away
• Studio rents in Al Jaddaf average about AED 55,696, roughly 6.7% gross on the entry price
• The one and two-bedrooms, at about AED 2,125 to 2,196 per sq ft, cost less per foot than the smallest studio
• 283 homes in one tower: a mid-sized building for the district

Cons

• About AED 2,067 to 2,512 per sq ft on the studio is above the district's roughly AED 1,200 to 1,900 band
• Half the price is due at handover: a large cash call or a UAE mortgage in late 2027
• Azizi's earlier projects have run 12 to 24 months late
• No construction percentage, service charge or DLD project number published
• Al Jaddaf has many studios completing in 2026 and 2027, which will cap rents
• Misses the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold on every apartment; only the two penthouses clear it

Who this is for

• First-time Dubai buyers who want a studio under AED 1 M near Downtown and the metro
• Buyers who want a light instalment load now and can fund or mortgage 50% at handover
• Landlords targeting Dubai Healthcare City staff as tenants
• Indian buyers who want the whole purchase inside one LRS year

Who should look elsewhere

• Golden Visa buyers, unless buying a penthouse
• Anyone who cannot fund 50% of the price at handover
• Buyers who need a firm date: Azizi's dates have moved before
• Buyers after the lowest rate per sq ft in Al Jaddaf

Our verdict

Azizi Leily is a straightforward entry-level buy in a well-connected district: a studio under AED 1 million, ten minutes from Downtown, with a metro station in the district and a hospital cluster next door for tenants. The 10/40/50 plan keeps the load light until handover, and the whole studio purchase fits in one person's LRS year. The costs are in the rate and the calendar. The studio's AED 2,067 to 2,512 per sq ft is above the district band, the one and two-bedrooms are cheaper per foot, and half the price falls due in late 2027 on a developer whose earlier dates have slipped by a year or more. The rent numbers still work at about 6% net on the studio if the district's averages hold.

A reasonable first Dubai purchase for an Indian buyer who wants a studio or one-bedroom near Downtown and can plan for the 50% handover payment. Not a Golden Visa route below the penthouses, and not for anyone who needs keys on a firm date. Get the SPA's completion date and delay clause, and the service-charge estimate, before booking.
