Azizi Developments unveils Azizi Milan, the new fashion capital of the Middle East

Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has unveiled Azizi Milan, a landmark master-planned community, guided by the principles of sustainability, nature, and the cultured refinement of Italian fashion, that is set to bring the timeless Milanese charm to Dubai. The launch event, which will welcome over 10,000 guests, is hosted on April 23rd, 2025, in Dubai’s renowned Coca-Cola Arena, featuring headlining performances by Tamer Hosny, Nora Fatehi and Sunidhi Chauhan.

Azizi Milan, at a total value exceeding AED 75 billion, is slated to cover 40,350,000 sq. ft., making it one of the largest mixed-use communities in the entire UAE. The master plan will be home to a population of 144,000, with 800 hotel keys to be created.

Mr. Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, said: "Much like the famed city of Milan, known for its beauty and elegance, Azizi Milan will embody the spirit of Italian living, right here in our home - Dubai. We have put a lot of thought into every detail, thinking about public spaces and community areas as well as creating homes that are as sophisticated and sustainable as they are welcoming. As with our other major projects, we are committed to building world-class homes and infrastructure that elevate the lifestyles of all those who will visit, live and work in what will soon be the classy, tasteful, and sustainable fashion capital of the Middle East. It is His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, who through his unparalleled visionary leadership has nurtured the emirate into the high-in-demand city that it is today, and it is with pride that we will help satiate that demand with our largest-yet community, Azizi Milan.”

Azizi Milan has been conceptualized with inspiration from Milan's rich cultural heritage. Its bold arches and design elements add to aesthetics as well as function. The community embodies Italian sophistication, inviting future homeowners to immerse themselves in a lifestyle centered around living life to the fullest, where the beauty of everyday moments and simple pleasures are truly appreciated. Azizi Milan is poised to become the fashion capital of the region with its very own network of pedestrian-only fashion streets – each dedicated to their own realm of fashion, including one for perfumery, one for cosmetics, and more for bags, dress fashion, and beyond. Lined with an ample number of high-fashion brands and boutique shops, as well as numerous cafes, fine-dining restaurants, and nightlife entertainment options, Azizi A will form a focal point for those who enjoy the city’s vibrant after-hours, as well as for those wanting to be part of internationally acclaimed fashion shows and other high-caliber events that will be hosted there.

Sustainability is a key consideration that guides the entire development of this contemporary zero-carbon community. To offset emissions, Azizi will support the landmark mangrove carbon project, as well as global forest and solar developments certified by VERRA and the Gold Standard. Next to a wide plethora of green building practices being implemented, every single building will feature its own beautifully landscaped rooftop garden, with the entirety of all roofs, as well as all podiums and a vast number of dedicated areas surrounding the residences, being planted with exotic trees and flowers. Infinity pools will be framed by lush, meticulously manicured greenery. Through the panoramic elevators that form an awe-inspiring feat of architecture in each and every building, residents and visitors are granted all-encompassing, scenic views of the community’s stunning nature, its many fountains and water features, and its wide array of sports courts and other facilities that will enrich lives and foster a sense of community and belonging.

Azizi Milan is a dynamic, self-sustaining haven with residential projects, a sprawling mall, luxury hotels, retail districts, office spaces, and essential lifestyle amenities, including schools, nurseries, mosques, wellness facilities, and parks. Its tallest towers, which will shape the northern skyline, will rise up to 70 stories high, while low- to mid-rises from 25 to 35 stories make up the central part of the development, easing the shift into a quieter, more tranquil residential atmosphere.

Strategically situated ion the iconic Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) – one of the UAE’s most important arteries that connects Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah – Azizi Milan offers unmatched accessibility. Adding to its location’s appeal, the community is just a short, less-than-5-minute walk from the nearest future Blue Line metro station.
