The quick answer
Every Azizi home in Dubai South sits inside one big community: Azizi Venice. It has dozens of apartment buildings, a collection of mansions called Monaco Mansions, and a planned lagoon, boulevard and cultural district.
So the best Azizi property in Dubai South depends on your goal.
- Lowest entry price: studios in the newer Venice buildings. Recent records show studios from about AED 550,000.
- Best space for your money: two and three bedroom apartments. They cost about AED 1,324 to 1,428 per sq ft in recent sales, below the studio rate.
- Most ready to move in: Venice 3, Venice 1 and Venice 2 are the furthest along, but their handover dates have moved, so check the status before you pay.
- Top luxury choice: Monaco Mansions, with 6 to 8 bedrooms and prices reported from about AED 45 million.
Before you book anything, ask for the building number, the payment plan in writing and the handover date. Sources disagree on all three.
What are Azizi properties in Dubai South?
Azizi Developments launched Azizi Venice in 2023 on land in Dubai South, near Al Maktoum International Airport. Azizi describes it as a waterfront community with a lagoon, a boulevard and an opera house, built for tens of thousands of residents.
We found no other Azizi residential project in Dubai South. Other Azizi projects sit elsewhere in Dubai, for example in Al Furjan, Meydan and Jebel Ali. If a listing says “Azizi Dubai South” and names a different project, ask which community it is in.
Here is what exists inside Azizi Venice:
| Part of Azizi Venice | What it is |
|---|---|
| Apartment buildings | Numbered buildings (Venice 1, 2, 3 and so on) with studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms |
| Monaco Mansions | About 109 luxury residences with 6 to 8 bedrooms |
| Boulevard and lagoon | A retail strip and a large water feature at the centre of the community |
| Cultural District and opera | Planned. Treat as plans, not features you can use today. |
Best Azizi properties in Dubai South, by goal
We define “best” with four tests: price per sq ft, building progress, unit size and how easy it is to resell. Here is how that plays out.
| If you want | Look at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The lowest price to get in | Studios in newer buildings such as Venice 10 | Recent records show studios from about AED 550,000 |
| More space per dirham | 2 and 3 bedroom apartments | Recent sales were near AED 1,324 to 1,428 per sq ft |
| A building that is nearly built | Venice 3, then Venice 1 and 2 | They show the highest progress in the official record |
| Rental income | 1 bedroom units | They avoid the crowded studio market, but check rents yourself first |
| A family home | 2 and 3 bedroom units | More space and a better layout for living |
| Luxury and status | Monaco Mansions | Large plots and mansion style living |
How much do Azizi properties in Dubai South cost?
Prices change by building and by month. This table shows real sale records we found.
| Unit | Example price (AED) | Size (sq ft) | Price per sq ft (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio (Venice 10) | 550,000 | 345 | 1,595 |
| Studio (Venice 10) | 635,000 | 345 | 1,841 |
| Studio (Venice 6) | 720,000 | 357 | 2,017 |
| 1 bedroom (Venice 14) | 999,000 | 725 | 1,378 |
| 1 bedroom (Venice 12) | 1,217,580 | 733 | 1,660 |
| 2 bedroom (sold August 2026) | 1,528,200 | 1,154 | 1,324 |
| 3 bedroom (sold July 2026) | 2,487,600 | 1,742 | 1,428 |
Sources: official sale records listed on Propsearch and sold history on Property Finder. We calculated price per sq ft ourselves.
Here is how that compares with the area. The average price in Dubai South from January to August 2026 was AED 1,656 per sq ft, according to Anarock data reported by Khaleej Times. Venice studios sit around that average or above it, and larger units sit below it. Small units cost more per square foot, so a cheap studio is not always the cheapest space.
Monaco Mansions: Gulf News reported prices from about Dh45 million to Dh220 million when they launched, at Dh2,300 to Dh5,000 per sq ft. A broker page lists a 6 bedroom from AED 45.4 million, with a 2027 handover. Ask Azizi to confirm.
Handover status: what the record shows
Many pages repeat one handover date. The picture is more complicated.
| Building | Earlier target | Progress reported in April 2026 | Official record, 20 September 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venice 3 | Q4 2025 | 74% | Active, 76% built |
| Venice 1 | Q1 2026 | 64% | Active, 67% built |
| Venice 2 | Q1 2026 | 57% | Active, 57% built |
| Venice 4, 5, 8, 9 | Q2 2026 | 42% to 56% (with Venice 13) | Not reported |
Sources: Construction Week, ME Construction News and a registry tracker that reads Dubai Land Department data.
What this means for you: the earlier targets for Venice 1, 2 and 3 have passed, and the registry still shows these buildings as under construction. The tracker found no new date from Azizi. Today, portals quote Q4 2026 and one data page says 2027. Plan for a later date, and ask Azizi for the handover date in your contract.
For comparison, Azizi said in September 2026 that it had handed over 7 projects so far this year, with 10 more planned by December (TradeArabia). That covers its whole portfolio, not Venice alone.
Payment plans: why you will see different answers
Different websites quote different plans for Azizi Venice.
| Plan shown | Where we saw it |
|---|---|
| 10% down, 40% during construction, 50% on handover | Bayut |
| 14% at launch, 36% during construction, 50% on handover | Property Finder |
| 50% during construction, 50% on completion | Driven Properties |
| 3% EOI, 10% booking, 20% during construction, 70% on handover (Monaco Mansions) | A broker page |
The plan depends on the building and the sales phase. Always ask: “Which plan applies to this exact unit, and is it written in my sales agreement?”
What else will it cost you?
- Government fee: 4% of the price, listed on Property Finder. On a AED 747,000 studio that is AED 29,880. On a AED 45.4 million mansion it is AED 1,816,000.
- Service charge: one broker source says AED 16 to 18 per sq ft. We could not confirm it with Azizi, so ask for the figure in writing.
- Other costs: registration steps, agent fees if you use an agent, and furnishing if you rent the unit out.
Rental income: marketing vs data
You will see yields of 7% or more. The data tells a more careful story.
- Anarock reports an average gross yield of 3.9% across Dubai South in 2025, before service charges and empty months.
- Marketing pages quote 6.5% to 9% and cite no clear source.
Use your own sum: yearly rent divided by price gives the gross yield. Then subtract service charge, vacancy and fees. Studios are also the most common unit in Dubai South, with 45% of sales this year, so you may compete with many similar homes when you rent.
Location: what you can count on
- Address: Dubai South, near Al Maktoum International Airport, with access from Emirates Road.
- Travel time: Property Finder says 7 minutes to the airport. Propsearch says about 24 minutes by car, and about 44 minutes to Dubai Mall and Dubai International Airport. Drive the route at the time you would use it.
- Metro: none today. A Blue Line extension is proposed, with no firm date.
- Airport plans: the first phase of the new airport is planned for 2032. Read our guide to Dubai South for the wider area.
Verified and unverified features
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Freehold ownership | Listed by Property Finder |
| Large lagoon (marketed at 18 km, about 23% of the community) | Marketed claim. The lagoon is a network, not one straight 18 km stretch. |
| Retail boulevard | Planned and marketed |
| Opera house | Planned. Seat numbers and the designer differ by source. |
| Hotels (about 575 keys) | Not yet built |
| Schools and hospital | Planned. Operators not confirmed. |
Don’t pay for a feature that nobody has built yet. Ask which parts open before your handover.
Risks to know before you buy
- Handover delay. Targets have moved. Plan for a later date.
- One developer, one big site. Your unit depends on the whole community being finished.
- Large supply. Dubai South has about 38,116 homes due between 2027 and 2029 (Anarock), and Azizi Venice adds to that.
- Resale competition. Property Finder shows hundreds of resale listings, so many owners are selling.
- Car dependence. No metro yet.
- Marketing claims. Opera, lagoon length and hotel plans are not proven.
- Moving details. Unit counts differ between sources (for example 30,000, 36,000 and 15,057 apartments). Ask for the final count in your contract.
Your checklist before you pay a deposit
- Get the exact building number and unit number.
- Ask for the project number and check its status on the Dubai Land Department.
- Confirm the payment plan for that unit in writing.
- Ask for the handover date and what happens if it moves.
- Ask for the service charge per sq ft.
- Confirm that your payments go into a regulated escrow account.
- Read the sales and purchase agreement before you sign.
- Plan an independent inspection before you accept the keys.
