Azizi Shaista Serviced Residences Al Furjan Dubai

Azizi Shaista Serviced Residences is a 15-storey building of 284 homes in Al Furjan by Azizi Developments: 137 studios, 124 one-bedrooms, 15 two-bedrooms and 8 penthouses over ground-floor retail. Construction began in August 2016 and the building was completed in March 2021. Resale studios of 385 to 413 sq ft are listed on Property Finder from AED 560,000 (about Rs 1.44 crore).

Two facts shape the buy. The entry studio is priced at the community average per square foot rather than above it, which is unusual for a small unit. And Shaista finished three years after its first target of Q1 2018 — the clearest delay in Azizi's Al Furjan record, and useful context for anyone reading dates on its newer launches.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The market in Shaista is thin: Property Finder showed about three studios and four properties in all for sale when we checked. The cheapest, at AED 560,000 for 413 sq ft, works out near AED 1,356 per sq ft — level with the community's AED 1,350 to 1,400 average. The top of the range, AED 680,000 for 385 sq ft, is about AED 1,766 and would need a strong floor or view to justify it.

A Bayut snippet showed studios at AED 420,000 to 450,000 against sizes of 1,377 to 1,410 sq ft, which cannot both be right for a studio; we have not used it. With so few live listings, the building's recent DLD transactions settle the value — pull them on the Dubai REST app or Bayut's transaction page before offering.

Payment plan and total cost

This is a ready resale, so there is no developer plan: you pay in full at transfer, in cash or with a UAE mortgage. At launch Azizi took a 5% down payment and 20% during construction, with a 50% DLD fee waiver — none of that passes to a resale buyer. Worked on the AED 560,000 entry studio:

No service-charge rate for Shaista is published by the sources we checked; a service-charge page exists for the building but its figure did not surface. Al Furjan apartment buildings generally run AED 12 to 15 per sq ft a year, about AED 4,620 to 5,780 on a 385 sq ft studio. The four free years Azizi offered at launch were for first buyers; ask the seller for the current statement and a no-objection letter showing no arrears.

Location and connectivity

Al Furjan sits in the Jebel Ali district between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Al Furjan metro station, on the Route 2020 branch of the Red Line, opened in 2021, the year Shaista was completed. Jebel Ali Free Zone is about 10 minutes away and supplies most tenants; Ibn Battuta Mall is 5 to 10 minutes and Dubai Marina about 15.

Azizi has a cluster of buildings here, so a Shaista owner lets and sells against Azizi stock on the next plot. The closest comparison is Azizi Roy Mediterranean, the other serviced block in this set, a 10-storey building of mostly studios finished in 2018. The Al Furjan apartments guide compares prices and yields across the community, and all Dubai projects we track and the projects page hold the wider list.

Amenities and specifications

Agency pages list the usual Azizi mid-rise package — a pool, a gym, a children's play area and parking — with retail at ground level. Sources disagree on that retail: one gives 7,100 sq ft, another 71,000 sq ft. For a 15-storey residential building the smaller figure is the more likely, but walk the ground floor before counting on shops downstairs.

What "serviced" means for a buyer here. Azizi sold Shaista as fully furnished serviced residences, with four years of free service charge as a launch incentive. None of the sources checked names a hotel operator, a management contract or a rental pool, and the building's 103 recent leases are ordinary tenancies. For a resale buyer it is a furnished residential building; any furniture still in the unit is the seller's, about five years old, and part of what you negotiate.

About the developer

Azizi Developments has been building in Dubai since 2007. Trade-press reports in 2026 carry the company's figure of more than 45,000 homes delivered, including 19 projects and over 10,000 units in 2024, and on DLD data 89.1% of its contracted units were delivered on or before the registered date, with a recorded cancellation rate of 0.0%.

Shaista sits on the other side of that ledger. Construction began in August 2016 against a Q1 2018 target and ended in March 2021, when Azizi announced the handover. The later record is better, but Shaista is the reason to read any Azizi date as a target and to ask for the SPA completion clause on a newer launch.

For Indian buyers

Ownership and costs. Al Furjan is freehold for every nationality and the title deed passes at the Dubai Land Department on transfer. There is no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 22,400 on the entry studio.

Remittance and the Golden Visa. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year. The AED 599,000 all-in cost is about USD 163,000, so one person can fund it in a single year. The Golden Visa needs AED 2 million of property; the entry studio misses by about AED 1.44 million.

Yield and tax. Property Finder's reference rent for the building is about AED 57,800 a year across 103 leases, a mix of unit types, so a studio will let below it. Oliva's Al Furjan guide puts gross yields at 6.5% to 8%, which on AED 560,000 means about AED 36,400 to 44,800 a year before the service charge, letting fees and vacancy. For an Indian tax resident the rent and any gain on sale are taxable in India; the UAE levies no income tax to credit against it.

Pros

• Finished since 2021 — no construction risk, and rent can start at transfer
• Entry studio near AED 1,356 per sq ft sits at the community average, not above it
• A real unit mix — 124 one-bedrooms and 23 larger homes — so it is not purely a studio block
• Fully furnished at launch, which suits short-notice tenants from JAFZA and Expo City
• The full purchase fits inside one person's LRS allowance for the year

Cons

• Completed three years after its first target date
• Only a handful of units listed for sale at a time — about three studios on one portal — so price discovery is thin
• No service charge published, and the four free years offered at launch are a sales incentive of the past
• Sources disagree on the retail area (7,100 vs 71,000 sq ft) and on one-bedroom sizes
• No hotel operator or rental pool named; 'serviced' does not mean managed income

Who this is for

• An income buyer who wants a let studio near JAFZA for about AED 600,000 all in
• Buyers who want a ready building with more than studios in it
• Indian buyers funding the whole purchase inside one LRS year
• Owner-occupiers who want a furnished unit near Al Furjan metro

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone after a Golden Visa — the entry studio is AED 1.44 million short
• Buyers expecting a hotel-run rental pool
• Anyone who will not see the service-charge statement and title deed before offering
• Buyers who need a published per-unit size list; only studio sizes appear in the sources

Our verdict

Shaista is a finished, mixed building that took five years to build, and today that history matters less than the rate. The entry studio at about AED 1,356 per sq ft sits at the Al Furjan average rather than above it, and with 124 one-bedrooms and 23 larger homes the building is less of a studio queue than some of Azizi's neighbours. The serviced label came from the launch: furnished units, a DLD fee discount and four free years of service charge, none of which a resale buyer inherits except the furniture. With only a few units for sale at any time, pull the building's recent transactions before offering. The three-year delay is worth remembering when you read Azizi's dates on its newer Al Furjan launches.

A fair ready purchase for a buyer who wants a studio or one-bedroom near JAFZA and the metro at about AED 600,000 all in, priced at the community average. Get the title deed, the service-charge statement and the last twelve months of the building's sales before you offer. Not for a Golden Visa, and not for anyone expecting hotel-managed income.
