About Azizi Riviera 8
Azizi Riviera 8 is a residential building developed by Azizi Developments, one of many numbered towers within the wider Riviera masterplan in Meydan, Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City). It is a 9-storey, mid-rise building of around 38 metres, with construction records showing a start date of December 2017 and completion recorded by late 2022, though some broker listings show handover into 2023.
Dubai Land Department project records put the building at around 194 residential units, alongside ground-floor commercial shops and cafes. Most listings describe Riviera 8's residential mix as studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments; a smaller number of portal floor-plan pages also show three-bedroom layouts under the Riviera 8 name, so buyers or owners should confirm the exact unit type against their own title deed rather than relying on any single listing.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Azizi Riviera 8 sits inside the Riviera masterplan in Meydan, part of MBR City, close to Meydan Racecourse, home of the Dubai World Cup. Hartland International School is around 0.6 km away. From the building it is roughly a 15-minute drive to Dubai Mall, about 18 minutes to Dubai International Airport, and around 23 to 28 minutes to Burj Al Arab and The Walk JBR. For a wider view of the area's short-term rental market, Royale Stays' Airbnb management guide for MBR City covers licensing and demand across the Azizi Riviera towers.
Riviera 8 is one of several Azizi-developed towers covered separately on royalestays.com, including Azizi Riviera 4, Azizi Riviera 17 and Azizi Riviera 41, each a separate numbered building with its own layout and completion timeline.
Unit Types
Most sources describe Azizi Riviera 8's unit mix as studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, plus ground-floor retail and cafes, out of around 194 total units per Dubai Land Department project records. A smaller number of listings show three-bedroom floor plans under the same building name; Royale Stays discloses both rather than picking one, since the two sets of records disagree. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified.
Amenities
Azizi Riviera 8's own facilities include a swimming pool, gym, BBQ area, kids' play area and covered parking, with community and garden-facing views. Like the rest of the masterplan, the building also sits within reach of the wider Riviera amenity set, centred on a crystal lagoon and a roughly 2 km beach with a palm tree-lined boulevard, plus restaurants, cafes and retail outlets.
Rental & Price Trends
Dubai Land Department transaction records show around 50 recorded sales for Azizi Riviera 8, with prices ranging from roughly AED 1,625 to AED 2,990 per square foot. Recent studio sales range from AED 600,000 to AED 995,400, and a one-bedroom unit of 547 sq ft sold for AED 1,050,000 (AED 1,920 per square foot). Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Azizi Riviera 8, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and owners-association coordination. Royale Stays runs the full operation for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications.
Azizi is a private developer, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that Azizi Riviera 8 apartments can't be run as licensed holiday homes. MBR City is not one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas, so income figures specific to this building are not yet available; the wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
