Azizi Developments’ 2.7 km-long crystal lagoon will be completed much sooner than expected

  • Building one of Dubai’s largest crystal lagoons, the developer is making rapid progress. 

Dubai, UAE, 18 March 2022: Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has announced that its 2.7 km-long swimmable crystal lagoon in MBR City’s Riviera is making faster progress than initially anticipated, and will be completed as soon as in 12 months from now. 


Excavation has already begun in front of Riviera’s phase one, with work on the two large pump rooms advancing swiftly. 


The crystal lagoon will cover an area of over 130,026 square metres that will stretch across the entirety of the community. With stunning blue flooring, filled with more than 51.5 million gallons of crystal-clear, desalinated and clean water that residents can swim in, and easily accessible via its lagoon walk — which will also feature a vast variety of artisan eateries and boutiques — Azizi’s lagoon will be a bustling space where residents can enjoy strolls along the beach-like shores, sunbathe and cool off.


Commenting on the announcement, Mr Farhad Azizi, CEO of Azizi Developments, said, “This year is an exciting one for us at Azizi Developments. Our projects have been progressing more rapidly than ever before, a momentum that we are planning to uphold in the coming years. The recently announced crystal lagoon, much like many of our other developments, is advancing so fast, that it may be delivered sooner than we had originally planned. Our completion date predictions comprise buffers, as we prefer to under promise and overdeliver rather than vice versa. It delights us to hereby announce the new planned delivery date for our crystal lagoon in Riviera, as early as Q1/Q2 of 2023.”


Home of the crystal lagoon, Riviera is part of Azizi Developments’ award-winning portfolio. It is a stylish waterfront-lifestyle destination located in the heart of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, conveniently located in the midst of all the business, leisure and retail hubs of the city. 


Designed to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, which is not merely about architectural art but also about a certain ‘joie de vivre’ — a celebration of life, an exultation of spirit, Riviera represents a new landmark destination that is both residential and commercial, with an abundance of retail space. Riviera features three districts: an extensive retail boulevard, a lagoon walk with artisan eateries and boutiques, and Les Jardins — a vast, lush-green social space. 

With its strategic location near the upcoming Meydan One Mall and the Meydan Racecourse — home of the Dubai World Cup — as well as Dubai’s most noteworthy points of interest, Riviera represents one of Azizi Developments’ most coveted projects.


Azizi Developments’ Sales Gallery can be visited on the 13th floor of the Conrad Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
