Spanning 40,350,000 square feet, the development will be one of the UAE’s largest mixed-use communities, accommodating a population of 144,000 and incorporating 800 hotel keys.
The project draws inspiration from Milan’s cultural heritage and aims to become the Middle East’s fashion capital with dedicated pedestrian-only fashion streets for perfumery, cosmetics, bags and dress fashion. These areas will feature high-fashion brands, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and nightlife entertainment venues.
“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,” Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments said.
The development emphasises sustainability as a zero-carbon community. Each building will feature rooftop gardens, with exotic trees and flowers planted across roofs, podiums and surrounding areas.
The company plans to offset emissions by supporting the landmark mangrove carbon project and global forest and solar developments certified by VERRA and the Gold Standard.
Azizi Milan will include residential projects, a mall, luxury hotels, retail districts, office spaces, schools, nurseries, mosques, wellness facilities and parks.
