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.- Start

Burj Azizi Races for Second Tallest
Azizi Developments is building the 725m Burj Azizi on Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road, a tower meant to become the world's second-tallest building, though work was still on the raft foundation and basement car park in mid-2026.
- 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]
