Azizi ramps up construction on Burj Azizi Tower
With 750 workers on-site daily, the team is diligently delivering this critical phase with precision and commitment to safety
Developer Azizi Developments said it is making substantial progress in constructing Burj Azizi. The project is advancing in both the raft foundation of the main tower and the automated car park building, which are among the most engineering-intensive phases in building the world’s second tallest tower, the developer noted.
The car park building, spans 9-basement levels and extends almost 30m below ground, and recently witnessed one of the substantial concrete pours of the project.
In just 40 hours, over 200 workers and 700 trucks delivered 7,000cu/m of concrete to construct the structure that will house Burj Azizi’s fully automated parking system. Simultaneously, work is underway on the tower’s raft foundation, a continuous concrete slab 5m thick, designed to bear and distribute the full load of the 725m, 140-story structure.
With 750 workers on-site daily, the team is diligently delivering this critical phase with precision and commitment to safety. They are laying the structural foundation from which Burj Azizi will rise. Worker welfare remains a top priority throughout the construction process, with all works carried out in accordance with the highest international standards, the firm said.
Group CEO Farhad Azizi said, “Burj Azizi is set to stand as the world’s second-tallest tower, a defining global symbol of Dubai. That ambition demands absolute rigor at every level, from concept to completion. The raft foundation, while unseen, is fundamental to the structure’s integrity. It is being delivered to the level of engineering precision this scale requires, setting the standard for everything that follows.”
Apartments range from 1-to-3 bedroom units, with ultra-luxury penthouses occupying the upper residential floors through their own dedicated lobbies. Amenity levels are spaced throughout the tower, offering residents pools, a spa, a gym and yoga center, a cinema, a games room, dining, and retail without ever leaving the building, the developer explained.
Higher still, an all-suite, 7-star hotel draws on seven cultural themes to set a new benchmark in luxury hospitality, featuring culturally inspired restaurants, an authentic Emirati dining concept, a luxury ballroom, and an exclusive beach club, it added.
The Burj Azizi project is led by Executive Director Kang Sang Ku, whose 30-year engineering career includes landmark developments such as the Burj Khalifa. Under his oversight, Azizi’s approach to a project of this magnitude begins long before construction reaches ground level.
For major developments, the developer conducts full-scale mock-ups and factory-based testing before a single unit goes up. Azizi’s vertically integrated approach also ensures complete control and consistent quality from concept through long-term operation, the statement concluded.
