The Burj Azizi is poised to be a remarkable addition to Dubai's iconic skyline, with its ambitious height of 725 m making it the 2-nd Tallest Skyscraper in the World.

This project not only aims to surpass the height of The Shard in London but also promises to offer unique experiences, including the highest nightclub and observation deck globally, attracting tourists and locals alike.

In addition to the Burj Azizi, Dubai is also planning to construct the world's tallest residential clock tower, inspired by London's famous Big Ben. This initiative highlights Dubai's commitment to pushing architectural boundaries and creating landmarks that blend modernity with cultural references.

With a staggering investment of £1 billion, the Burj Azizi represents a significant development in the realm of skyscrapers, emphasizing Dubai's position as a leader in innovative and ambitious construction projects. As construction progresses, it will be fascinating to see how these structures shape the future of urban living and tourism in the region.

Azizi Developments say construction of the £1.15 billion tower - twice as big as The Shard - has already begun, and is expected to be completed in 2028.

Sales for the lavish skyscraper, planned to be over the 131 storeys, will launch next February, but the probably eye-watering prices have yet to be announced.

The Burj Azizi will feature a unique all-suite seven-star hotel inspired by seven cultural themes.

It will also see luxury residences ranging from penthouses to apartments and holiday homes.

The giant building will have a "one-of-a-kind" adrenaline zone and observation deck, where guests can soak up the desert views of Dubai.

Several world record-breaking features are also promised to come with the development.

These include: the highest hotel lobby in the world on level 11, the highest nightclub on level 126, the highest observation deck on level 130, the highest restaurant in Dubai on Level 122, and the highest hotel room in Dubai on level 118.

The tower, which will be the only freehold property on Sheikh Zayed Road, will also include a vertical retail centre over seven floors, a luxury ballroom, and a beach club.

Mr. Mirwais Azizi, Founder & Chairman of Azizi Developments, said the billionaire investment in Burj Azizi "represents more than just the creation of an iconic structure it is a commitment to transforming Sheikh Zayed Road and elevating Dubai's skyline to new, unparalleled heights."

He added: "Burj Azizi is not merely about its towering stature or prime location and with its innovative design and cutting-edge technology, this tower will offer ultra-luxury residences, a unique vertical shopping mall, the world's highest observation deck, and a wealth of amenities and dining experiences, all set at extraordinary elevations.

"The seven-star hotel, crowned by the world's highest lobby, will embody Dubai's spirit, celebrating the world's seven major cultures through its intricate interior design."

Dubai is also getting ready to build the world's tallest residential clock tower in a nod to London's Big Ben.
