Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 5 January 2023: Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has signed with KEO International Consultants for the masterplan consultancy of its recently acquired, highly coveted 15-million-square-foot plot of land, with 24 million square feet of GFA, in the rapidly growing Dubai South. Azizi is set to become the master developer, in charge of constructing the buildings, roads and all infrastructure of the large-sized, approximately 20-billion-dirham mixed-use development that will feature luxury villas, residences, commercial and entertainment space, and more in Dubai South’s Golf District.
The signing ceremony took place on Wednesday, the 4th of January 2023 in Azizi Developments’ Chairman’s Office in the Conrad Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road, and was attended by the Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, Mr Mirwais Azizi, and the COO of KEO International, Mr Gregory Karpinski. Also in attendance was the CEO of Azizi Developments, Mr Farhad Azizi, the Managing Director Infrastructure of KEO International Consultants, Mr Sameer Daoud, and other key senior management figures from both parties, the media, and a crowd of excited onlookers.
Azizi’s vision for the project is for it to become an innovative landmark destination – one of the UAE’s most unique and distinguished attractions – visited by over 100,000 people from outside of the community on a daily basis, with the brief given to KEO detailing a one-of-its-kind, 2-kilometre-long air-conditioned, glass-covered, pedestrian-friendly boulevard that is to comprise shopping areas, commercial space, restaurants featuring a wide variety of the world’s cuisines, movie theatres, nightlife options, kids’ play areas, ample underground carparking, and much more. Many of the community’s residences and three- to five-star hotels will have direct access not only to the boulevard, but also to its large swimmable crystal lagoon with 3 kilometres of beach-like shores and distinctive water features, and its vast parks with abundant greenery. Moreover, with the project being an entire well-thought-through city, it will also feature schools, its own hospital, cycling and jogging tracks, and all that residents and visitors could wish for to cover their convenience, leisure, health, and well-being needs. Moreover, the boulevard and community as a whole will be extravagantly decorated in theme for each season, holiday and festivity of the year, further adding to its popularity as one of the most interesting attractions to visit in the UAE.

Situated alongside Emirates Road (E611), built to link the emirates together while also providing convenient access points to Dubai’s other major highways and various points of interest, the plot of land is among the best connected in the southern part of the emirate.
