Azizi Plaza Al Furjan Dubai

Azizi Plaza is a 434-home building of 14 to 16 floors in Al Furjan, completed by Azizi Developments in 2020. It carries studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and 16 two-storey penthouses the developer calls sky villas, in sizes running from 313 sq ft to 3,219 sq ft — one of the widest spreads in any single building in the community.

The portals carry an entry figure of about AED 400,000 for the smallest studio and a top of about AED 1,875,000 for a sky villa. Rents listed in the building run AED 38,000 to 128,000 a year. The building is chiller-free, which removes a separate cooling bill, and a large share of the units are sold furnished. Because the entry figure sits below our Rs 1.5 crore display threshold we show the price as on call — every AED figure is on this page. See the rest of the Dubai section or our full projects list.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The gap between the entry figure and what a usable unit costs is the single most important thing on this page, so here it is set out plainly.

AED 400,000 buys the smallest home in the building, at 313 sq ft. That is a real unit and a real price, but it is not the going rate: Al Furjan studios have averaged about AED 661,749 on recorded sales, so anyone budgeting from the entry number will be surprised by what it actually gets them. Treat AED 400,000 as the floor of a wide range, and price from a title-deed area rather than from a listing headline.

The interesting end of the range is the top. A sky villa near AED 1,875,000 across up to 3,219 sq ft works out around AED 583 per sq ft — a fraction of what the same floor area costs closer to the water, and well under the community's own AED 1,350 to 1,400 average. That discount is what you pay for being in Al Furjan rather than the Marina, and for owning one of only sixteen units of its kind, which makes it slow to sell when you want out.

Payment and total cost

A finished building, so there is no construction-linked plan: full payment at transfer, or a UAE mortgage at 50 to 60% of value for a non-resident. Worked at both ends of the studio range so you can see what the entry figure hides:

Add 0.25% of the loan as mortgage registration if you finance. The service-charge line is the district range, not this building's approved budget, which the sources we checked do not print. Because the building is chiller-free, cooling sits inside that charge rather than arriving as a separate monthly bill — so when you compare this building's service charge with a chilled tower's, add the other building's cooling account before deciding which is cheaper to hold.

Location and connectivity

Al Furjan sits in Jebel Ali First, between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, with Discovery Gardens on one side and Jebel Ali on the other. Al Furjan metro station opened in 2021 on the Route 2020 extension of the Red Line and is in the community; homes within a ten-minute walk of it have gained about 22% in capital value over three years and let faster than the rest of the district.

Ibn Battuta Mall is five to ten minutes away, Jebel Ali Free Zone about ten and the source of much of the local tenant demand, Dubai Marina and JBR about fifteen, and Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City fifteen to twenty minutes south. For a comparison inside the same community we also cover Serene Gardens 2.

Measure the walk from this building to the station before assuming the metro premium applies — Al Furjan is spread out, and seven minutes on foot against twenty shows up directly in the rent.

Amenities and specifications

Pool, gym, covered parking, fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes — the standard Azizi package for the community. Two things set this building apart from its neighbours. It runs chiller-free, so there is no district cooling account, no monthly cooling bill and no cooling deposit to lodge. And a large share of the units are sold furnished, which for an investor means the unit can be let the week after transfer rather than after a fit-out.

The size spread deserves one more warning. A "studio" here could be 313 sq ft or comfortably larger, and a three-bed anything up to a 3,219 sq ft sky villa. Get the title-deed area, work out the rate, then decide.

About the developer

Azizi Developments has built in Dubai since 2007 and delivered more than 14,000 homes. On DLD data its record is ahead of the market: 89.1% of contracted units handed over on or before the registered date, a recorded contract cancellation rate of 0.0%, and an average variance of about 24 days against contracted completion where there was slippage at all.

Azizi Riviera in MBR City is the largest project — 53 of its 75 buildings handed over, the rest completing through 2026, a year in which the company says it will hand over 22 projects and roughly 5,000 homes. Al Furjan is one of its core communities and holds a cluster of its buildings, with Plaza among the biggest. On a finished building that record is background rather than risk. The cluster, though, is worth thinking about: when you sell, your buyer can look at several Azizi buildings within walking distance, and that competition sits on your price.

For Indian buyers

Al Furjan is freehold, so an Indian citizen can own here outright with a DLD title deed and no local partner. There is no annual property tax in Dubai; the recurring cost is the service charge.

A studio or one-bed here — anywhere from about AED 400,000 to AED 700,000, or roughly USD 109,000 to 191,000 — fits inside one person's USD 250,000 Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance for a financial year, fees included. A sky villa at AED 1,875,000 is about USD 511,000, which needs two people's allowances or two financial years. Your bank will want the sale agreement and the DLD trustee details, and TCS applies on the remittance above the current threshold.

On residency: nothing in this building qualifies. The Golden Visa property route needs AED 2 M and the top unit here is AED 1,875,000 — close enough to be frustrating, far enough to be a no. On tax at home, rent from Dubai is taxable in India for a resident at slab rates, declared as income from house property with the standard 30% deduction, and the property goes in Schedule FA of your return. The UAE takes nothing, so there is no credit to set off against the Indian liability.

Pros

• Ready, freehold and mortgage-eligible, with six years of rent and resale history to check
• Chiller-free, so no separate district cooling bill and no cooling deposit
• The widest choice of layouts in one Al Furjan building — 313 sq ft studios to 3,219 sq ft sky villas
• 434 units, so there is usually stock on the market, unlike the smaller Azizi blocks nearby
• Many units sold furnished, so an investor can let immediately
• Al Furjan metro station is in the community; district returns have reached 8.5%
• Azizi's DLD delivery record of 89.1% on or before the registered date is above the Dubai average

Cons

• The AED 400,000 entry figure is far below the AED 661,749 average recorded sale for an Al Furjan studio
• Sources disagree on completion — May 2020 against a window running to November 2021
• 313 sq ft is a very small home and the hardest layout here to let or resell
• Several near-identical Azizi buildings nearby compete with you at resale
• Even the AED 1,875,000 sky villa falls short of the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold
• The building's own service charge is not published by the sources checked
• Al Furjan keeps absorbing new supply, which sits on rent growth for a 2020 building

Who this is for

• Small-ticket investors who want a furnished, ready unit that can be let straight away
• Buyers who value a chiller-free building and lower running costs
• Families who want a three-bed or a two-storey sky villa at Al Furjan prices rather than Marina prices
• Investors who want choice — this building usually has units available

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone buying property to qualify for a Golden Visa — even the penthouses fall short
• Buyers tempted by the smallest studio purely on price; 313 sq ft is hard to let and harder to sell
• Anyone expecting the AED 400,000 figure to be what a decent unit actually costs
• Buyers who will not read the service-charge statements or check the title-deed area

Our verdict

Azizi Plaza is the most flexible building in Azizi's Al Furjan cluster, and that is its argument. One address holding everything from a 313 sq ft studio to a 3,219 sq ft sky villa means there is nearly always something on the market, which is not true of the smaller blocks nearby. Chiller-free running costs and furnished stock are both real advantages that listings tend to underplay.

Where you need discipline is the price. The AED 400,000 figure is the floor of the range, not the going rate, and the 313 sq ft layout behind it is the cheapest line on the list and the hardest unit in the building to let or sell on. Take a larger studio or a one-bed for income; if you want space, the three-beds and sky villas are priced well under what the same floor area costs nearer the water. Either way, buy from a title-deed area and two years of service-charge statements, not from a headline.

FAQs

What does an apartment at Azizi Plaza cost?

The portals carry an entry figure of about AED 400,000 for the smallest 313 sq ft studio, with the range running to about AED 1,875,000 for a two-storey sky villa. Set that against the district: Al Furjan studios have averaged about AED 661,749 on recorded sales. Because the entry figure is below our Rs 1.5 crore display threshold we show the price as on call — ask us for what is actually available and at what size.

Why is the entry price so much lower than the district average?

Because it is the smallest layout in a building whose units run from 313 sq ft to 3,219 sq ft. A 313 sq ft studio and a 700 sq ft one-bed are both listed here, and the AED 400,000 figure belongs to the bottom of that range. Work from the title-deed area of a specific unit, not the building's entry number.

Is it ready?

Yes. The building is complete and occupied. One source gives May 2020 as the completion, another a window running into November 2021, which is normal for a large building handing over in phases. Any purchase is a resale against a title deed.

What does chiller-free mean and why does it matter?

There is no separate district cooling account for the apartment, so you are not billed monthly by a cooling provider and there is no cooling deposit to lodge. Cooling costs sit inside the service charge instead. On a small unit that can be worth several thousand dirhams a year against a comparable chilled building, so compare service charges on a like-for-like basis.

What rent and yield can I expect?

Apartments in the building are listed for rent between AED 38,000 and AED 128,000 a year, depending on size. Al Furjan returns have reached 8.5% on the best small units. After service charges at roughly AED 12 to 15 per sq ft, agency fees and a vacancy allowance, expect around 1.5 to 2 points less net.

Is there a payment plan?

No. It is a finished building, so you pay in full at transfer or take a UAE mortgage. Add the 4% DLD fee, about AED 4,000 in trustee and admin fees and a 2% broker commission.

What are the service charges?

This building's approved rate is not published by the sources we checked. Al Furjan apartment buildings generally run AED 12 to 15 per sq ft a year, and because this one is chiller-free the cooling sits inside that. Ask the seller for two years of RERA-approved statements.

Can an Indian citizen buy, and does anything here qualify for a Golden Visa?

Yes to the first — Al Furjan is freehold and any nationality can own outright with a DLD title deed. No to the second: the Golden Visa property route needs AED 2 M and even the AED 1,875,000 sky villa falls short. A studio or one-bed here sits comfortably inside one person's USD 250,000 LRS allowance.

Who is the developer?

Azizi Developments, in Dubai since 2007, with more than 14,000 homes delivered, 89.1% of contracted units handed over on or before the DLD-registered date and a recorded 0.0% contract cancellation rate. It has a cluster of buildings in Al Furjan and plans roughly 5,000 handovers across 22 projects in 2026.

What are the sky villas?

Sixteen two-storey penthouses at the top of the building, at the upper end of a size range that reaches 3,219 sq ft and priced to about AED 1,875,000. They are the most distinctive stock in the building and the least liquid — there are only sixteen, so both the buyer pool and the comparable sales are thin.
