With a razor-sharp focus on design excellence and build quality, Azizi Developments is known for the timely delivery of its projects. Testament to this is the recent handover of Azizi Aliyah, the Dh470-million residential high-rise in the heart of Dubai Healthcare City. “The inauguration of Aliyah marks one of many completions this year. We are proud to continue on our trajectory of delivering on our promises, and to once again underline our commitment to timely project delivery,” said Farhad Azizi, Chief Executive Officer of Azizi Developments.

2. Prime locations

Location is key when buying a house. Azizi Developments have been instrumental in developing some of the finest properties in prime locations across Dubai. From Palm Jumeirah, Meydan, Al Furjan and Dubai Healthcare City, the firm has several properties in the new and upcoming neighourhoods of the emirate. All of its projects are in close proximity to major business, leisure and retail hubs, as well as to Dubai’s main highways and metro stations. Creek Views, for example, overlooks the surrounding Dubai Healthcare City area that encompasses Dubai Creek and the stunning skyline of downtown Dubai. Mina on the Palm Jumeirah, its luxury development, provides exceptional sea views of the Arabian Gulf and the city’s stunning skyline from every room.

7. Rental yields

Buying a property in Dubai makes investment sense. Properties in the city consistently offer rental yields of more than 7 per cent on average, which compares favourably with other major cities, according to a report by real estate listings portal Property Finder in August. Average rental yields in New York stand at 2.9 per cent, London 2.7 per cent, Singapore 2.5 per cent and Hong Kong 2.4 per cent.

“We thank Dubai’s forward-looking leadership for its continuous support and guidance, which enables and inspires us to push boundaries and strive for excellence,” says Azizi. “Continuously delivering properties across this awe-inspiring Emirate, and thereby playing an active role while serving as a catalyst to the UAE’s vision and development, is an honour and mission that guides our every step.”

8. Renting vs. owning

Purchasing a property helps you save. While renting costs for 20 years amount to upwards of Dh2.16 million, excluding utility payments, buying the same property in the same location would cost just over Dh1.76 million, not to forget that you then own a lucrative asset after the 20-year period.
