Mr Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, commented: “We are excited to once again be a part of the Dubai World Cup, now in its 27th edition, and with this being the sixth consecutive year in which we have the pleasure of sponsoring it. We will continue to contribute to the growth and development of our home – Dubai and the UAE – not just through the development of world-class lifestyle properties in the emirates, but also by supporting high-calibre happenings such as these, that solidify this city’s standing on the world map. This sponsorship is perfectly aligned with our philosophy and pursuit of bringing communities together, supporting the UAE’s heritage, vision, and development, and showing the world how hospitable and welcoming this city and nation are, making it the ideal host for international events as important as this one.” This year’s Dubai World Cup Carnival race meet, on January 8th runs annually from January to March and is a season of high-class international race days, championed by the most successful, high-profile owners, trainers, jockeys and horses in the world. It goes on alongside the domestic racing at Meydan and paves the way for the Dubai World Cup. Riviera is part of Azizi Developments’ award-winning portfolio. It is a stylish waterfront-lifestyle destination located in the heart of MBR City that is planned to comprise 75 mid and high-rise buildings with approximately 16,000 residences upon its completion, conveniently located in the midst of all the business, leisure and retail hubs of the city. Designed to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, which is not merely about architectural art but also about a certain ‘joie de vivre’ — a celebration of life, an exultation of spirit, Riviera represents a new landmark destination that is both residential and commercial, with an abundance of retail space. Riviera features three districts: an extensive retail boulevard, a lagoon walk on the shores of its 2.7 km-long swimmable crystal lagoon with artisan eateries and boutiques, and Les Jardins — a vast, lush-green social space. With its strategic location near the upcoming Meydan One Mall and the Meydan Racecourse — home of the Dubai World Cup — as well as Dubai’s most noteworthy points of interest, Riviera represents one of Azizi Developments’ most coveted projects.
