Azizi Developments L.L.C

Azizi is one of the more established names on this list. They are a high-volume Dubai developer with a long back-catalogue of completed buildings across the city, which matters on an off-plan purchase because it means the handover date carries a real track record behind it rather than a promise from a first-timer. On Dubai Islands they are here with Wasl, a 227-unit tower on Central Island, the built-up core with the deepest resale market on the archipelago.

Wasl is priced from about AED 1.7M at AED 2,724 per sq.ft. That is above the island median of AED 2,445, so it is a mid-to-upper price rather than a value buy, though the AED 1.7M entry point keeps the smaller units accessible. At 227 units this is a mid-to-large building, which means a broad amenity base and a resilient service charge, but also more competing units internally, so the specific line and floor you buy matters more than in a small building. Unit sizes span from around 624 sq.ft up to 5,690, with layouts to four bedrooms, so Wasl covers everything from a compact investor unit to a large family home in one address.

The payment plan is 50/50 with handover dated Q1 2028, both standard for the islands. Most of the price is committed by handover, so plan for the full amount by early 2028.

The case for Wasl rests mainly on the developer. Among the many newer names launching on Dubai Islands, Azizi is one of the few you can point to with a real delivery history in Dubai, and on an off-plan purchase that lowers the risk that the printed handover date slips badly. You are paying a mid-to-upper per-foot price for that reassurance plus a Central Island position, which is a reasonable trade. The thing to watch is the volume: Azizi builds a lot at once across the city, so confirm this specific project is progressing on site rather than assuming the brand guarantees it. On balance, Wasl is a sensible established-developer option on the best-connected island, priced at a fair premium rather than a bargain.

Wasl is priced from AED 1.7M at AED 2,724 per sq.ft. That is 11% above the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445, a gap of AED 279 per foot, which puts it in the upper half of island pricing. On its 50/50 payment plan, that entry price splits into about AED 850K committed across construction and AED 850K due at handover. Budget roughly another 6 to 7 per cent to complete, around AED 111K: the 4 per cent Dubai Land Department fee, trustee and admin, the first year of service charge and snagging. A completed unit at this price qualifies the owner for the 2-year investor visa; the 10-year Golden Visa needs AED 2M registered, which this entry does not reach. Handover is dated Q1 2028, the building holds 227 units, sized 624 to 5,690 sq.ft, currently selling. View the full listing →
