Burj Azizi Races for Second Tallest
- Burj Azizi on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, is 725 m tall (architectural height), designed by AE7 and developed by Azizi Developments, with main contractor Gardinia Contracting[2]
- In February 2025 it received all height approvals (Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Dubai Municipality); CEO Farhad Azizi said the height is "fully confirmed and will remain unchanged"[3]
- Completion was set for 2028 in the Gulf News report, while Wikipedia's infobox estimates 2030[2][3]
- Floor count is given as 131 storeys[3] and 133 floors[2]; it would sit below the 828 m Burj Khalifa but above Merdeka 118 (678.9 m)[3]
- History: announced as Entisar Tower in 2012 (570 m), broke ground 2016, halted 2017, acquired by Azizi Developments in 2018, rebranded Burj Azizi in January 2024, and construction restarted on 21 August 2024[2]
- As of May 2026 the raft foundation and nine-basement car park were in progress with about 750 workers on site daily[2]
- Off-plan sales priced apartments from Dh7.5 million to Dh156 million, with record targets such as an observation deck on level 130 and a hotel lobby on level 111[3]

Two estimates disagree. Gulf News[3] (18 February 2025) reported the developer targeting 2028, while Wikipedia's[2] infobox estimates 2030 and records that as of May 2026 only the raft foundation and the nine-level basement car park were in progress, with about 750 workers on site daily. The later, better-evidenced 2030 estimate is followed and dated to the last day of that year.

Wikipedia states the tower's 'estimated completion date is 2030,' two years later than the pin's stored December 2028 target and the figure Gulf News[3] reports, a discrepancy this reference's more modest confidence reflects.

Gulf News quotes developer Farhad Azizi confirming 'Completion of the multi-billion dollar Azizi project is set for 2028,' matching the pin's stored December 2028 date.
