Beachfront I was handed over in March 2026; one- and two-bedroom flats start from AED 1.26 million. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Azizi Developments](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/azizi) | | Location | [Meydan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/meydan) (Azizi Riviera), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Sales launched | 2021-04 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,258,500 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Floors | 20 | | Buildings | 3 | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Riviera Beachfront is a group of three 20-storey towers by [Azizi Developments](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/azizi) on the beach of the crystal lagoon at [Azizi Riviera](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/meydan/azizi-riviera) in [Meydan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/meydan), Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Sales began in 2021. The towers face the 2.7 km swimmable lagoon, with a promenade, cafes and shops at the water's edge and the Downtown skyline beyond. The first tower is finished. On 31 March 2026 Azizi handed over Beachfront I, a building of 555 homes from studios to two-bedroom flats with shops on the ground floor. Azizi has not announced handover of the other two towers, and in July 2026 it said 1,100 workers were deployed across the Beach Front plots. Property Finder lists completion as December 2025, which matches only the first tower at best. Azizi's page lists one- and two-bedroom flats from AED 1.26 million. On 13 November 2026 Property Finder showed developer stock with one-bedroom flats of about 955 sq ft and two-bedroom flats of about 1,006 to 1,128 sq ft, which are generous sizes for the price. The listed plan is 10% down, 20% during construction and 70% on handover; for a home in a finished tower, ask Azizi how this applies. Amenities include beach access, an infinity pool, a gym, a playground, a Zen garden and a concierge. Azizi's page gives one minute to Al Khail Road, ten minutes to Downtown Dubai and 15 minutes to Dubai International Airport. Beachfront suits buyers who want a lagoon-front flat they can move into or let soon, at a lower price than Rêve next door. Weigh which tower the unit is in, the unclear timing of the remaining towers, and competition from Riviera's large stock of flats. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 955 to 956 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,006 to 1,128 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10/20/70 - Down payment: 10% (At booking) - During construction: 20% (During construction) - On handover: 70% (On handover) Paid before handover: 30%.
