Azizi Developments unveils Azizi Milan, the new fashion capital of the Middle East
Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has unveiled Azizi Milan, a landmark master-planned community.
The launch event, which will welcome over 10,000 guests, is hosted on April 23, in Dubai's renowned Coca-Cola Arena, featuring headlining performances by Tamer Hosny, Nora Fatehi and Sunidhi Chauhan.
Azizi Milan, at a total value exceeding Dh75 billion, is slated to cover 40,000,000 sq. ft. in GFA, making it one of the largest mixed-use communities in the entire UAE. The master plan will be home to a population of 144,000, with 800 hotel keys to be created.
Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, said: 'Much like the famed city of Milan, known for its beauty and elegance, Azizi Milan will embody the spirit of Italian living, right here in our home - Dubai. We have put a lot of thought into every detail, thinking about public spaces and community areas as well as creating homes that are as sophisticated and sustainable as they are welcoming. As with our other major projects, we are committed to building world-class homes and infrastructure that elevate the lifestyles of all those who will visit, live and work in what will soon be the classy, tasteful, and sustainable fashion capital of the Middle East.'
Azizi Milan has been conceptualized with inspiration from Milan's rich cultural heritage. Its bold arches and design elements add to aesthetics as well as function. Azizi Milan will form a focal point for those who enjoy the city's vibrant after-hours, as well as for those wanting to be part of internationally acclaimed fashion shows and other high-caliber events that will be hosted there.
Sustainability is a key consideration that guides the entire development of this contemporary zero-carbon community. To offset emissions, Azizi will support landmark mangrove carbon projects, as well as global forest and solar developments certified by VERRA and the Gold Standard.
Azizi Milan is a dynamic, self-sustaining haven with residential projects, a sprawling mall, luxury hotels, retail districts, office spaces, and lifestyle amenities, including schools, nurseries, mosques, wellness facilities, and parks. Its tallest towers, which will shape the northern skyline, will rise up to 70 stories high, while low- to mid-rises from 25 to 35 stories make up the central part of the development.
Strategically situated on iconic Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) – one of the UAE's most important arteries that connects Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah – Azizi Milan offers unmatched accessibility. Adding to its location's appeal, the community is just a short walk from the nearest future Blue Line metro station.
Azizi Milan follows the successful blueprint, construction and sales of Azizi's Riviera in MBR City, and Azizi Venice in Dubai South, with Azizi Developments serving as the master developer, overseeing road networks and general infrastructure.

Dubai's Deyaar to launch 110-storey residential tower in Business Bay
Deyaar Development is set to launch a 110-storey residential tower in Business Bay, according to a project brochure released by the developer. 'Rising 110 floors, DWTN Residences is a landmark destination where life's finest experiences converge,' the Dubai-listed developer said in an emailed brochure. 'The tower will offer 180-degree views and over 75,000 square feet (sq ft) of unparalleled facilities and amenities,' the brochure said. The developer is currently gauging the interest from real estate agents and buyers for one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. No details were given on the launch date or costs. In January 2025, Refine Development Management said its investment and development arm will launch a 100-storey twin-tower lifestyle development on Sheikh Zayed Road this year. Last year, three developers launched mega-tall towers in Dubai. In January 2024, Danube Properties unveiled Bayz101, a 101-floor tower in Business Bay. Select Group launched its 122-storey Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina in April, followed by Azizi Developments launching the 131-storey Burj Azizi in September. In November 2022, Binghatti and Jacob & Co. launched the over 100-storey Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences. Dubai is already home to the 828-meter Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Additionally, the emirate hosts five of top 10 tallest residential buildings in the world - the101-storey Marina 101 tower; 101-storey Princess Tower; 88-storey 23 Marina; 91-storey Elite Residence and 80-storey The Torch, all located in Dubai Marina.

Alcaraz bludgeons Paul to reach French Open semis
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz steamrolled past American 12th-seed Tommy Paul 6-0 6-1 6-4 at the French Open on Tuesday with a jaw-dropping display of attacking tennis in one of the most one-sided men's quarter-finals in Paris in recent memory. Four-time champion Iga Swiatek, who is looking to become the first woman in the professional era to win four consecutive titles in Paris, also punched her semi-final ticket with a straight sets win over Elina Svitolina of Ukraine to set up a mouth-watering semi-final with world number one Aryna Sabalenka. But it was four-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz's merciless dismantling of Paul that grabbed the fans' attention, with the 22-year-old Spaniard terrorising the former French Open junior champion who looked like a fish out of water. Alcaraz charged through the first two sets in just 53 minutes and in near flawless fashion, hitting winners at will and chasing down every ball before the shell-shocked American had any time to react. Paul pulled himself together to hold serve and go 4-3 up in the third but as the sun gradually went down over Paris so did the curtain on his inspired run, with Alcaraz winning three games in a row to put him out of his misery in just 94 minutes. "I could close my eyes and everything went in," Alcaraz said. "My feeling was unbelievable. I tried to hit the shots 100% and not think about it." "Today it was one of those matches where everything went in," he said. He will next take on in-form Italian Lorenzo Musetti who battled past American Frances Tiafoe in four sets after surviving a second-set wobble, to reach the French Open semi-finals for the first time. Musetti Warning Musetti, the world number seven, who escaped with a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct when he kicked a ball at a line judge, eventually overran 15th seed Tiafoe. "Honestly it was really unlucky coincidence," said Musetti of the incident. "I was a little bit scared, because I really didn't want to harm nobody, of course. So I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said, 'sorry', I apologise to everyone." "It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that and that's why probably just, you know, let me continue my game." That occurred in the second set when Musetti, the only man to reach at least the semi-finals of every main claycourt event this season, was given balls to serve. He kicked one to inadvertently hit the line judge, who barely flinched even though she was hit on her upper body. Grand Slam rules state that players are issued a warning at first instance for any ball abuse. Tiafoe, however, called it 'comical' that there was no serious punishment. "I mean, obviously he did that and nothing happened," said Tiafoe, who had looked surprised and pointed out the incident to the chair umpire. "I think that's comical, but it is what it is. Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is." Earlier, and in front of a sparse crowd around lunchtime, Swiatek braved the windy conditions to beat Svitolina 6-1 7-5. Although Swiatek failed to win a title going into the tournament this season, she looks to have rediscovered her remarkable claycourt form in Paris, stretching her winning run at the French Open to 26 consecutive matches following her title three-peat between 2022-24 to add to her 2020 crown. Three-time Grand Slam champion Sabalenka, hunting her first French Open crown, also needed just two sets to overcome Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen and snap her opponent's 10-match winning streak at Roland Garros with a 7-6(3) 6-3 victory. "I think we're all here for one reason," Sabalenka said. "Everyone wants that beautiful trophy. I'm glad I have another opportunity, another semi-final to do better than last time."

ALTÉRRA backs Absolute Energy to develop gigawatt-scale renewable energy capacity in Italy
ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD) ALTÉRRA, the UAE's $30 billion climate investment vehicle, has announced a €50 million commitment via the ALTÉRRA Acceleration Fund to Absolute Energy, a forward-thinking Italian renewable energy platform. The co-investment, made alongside global infrastructure investment manager I Squared Capital, aims to fast-track the development of an initial 1.4GW active pipeline of projects across Italy. Absolute Energy is focused on the swift deployment of multiple commercially viable small to medium-scale solar projects throughout the country. Through this initial phase — comprising 1.4GW of solar and battery storage capacity — and with a broader development pipeline exceeding 6GW, Absolute Energy is positioned to become a next-generation Independent Power Producer (IPP), advancing Italy's decarbonisation and energy independence objectives. ALTÉRRA estimates that the 1.4GW pipeline could eliminate up to 380,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions annually. Italy has set a national target of adding 46GW of new solar capacity by 2030 in support of its net-zero ambitions. With high solar irradiation levels and favourable policy support, the country presents a compelling opportunity for expanding solar infrastructure. Majid Al Suwaidi, CEO of ALTÉRRA, said: 'We are excited to support Absolute Energy as it enters its next phase of growth. With a strong pipeline and deep sector expertise, the company will help drive Italy's clean energy future. ALTÉRRA invests to accelerate the climate transition through innovative approaches and partnerships. In working with a global leader like I Squared Capital with their strong track record in platform building and investing in renewables, this investment further demonstrates how ALTÉRRA works with partners to invest at scale to accelerate impact across key markets.' Sadek Wahba, Chairman and Managing Partner of I Squared Capital, added: 'We are proud to welcome ALTÉRRA as a strategic partner in Absolute Energy. Their investment underscores the strength of the platform and the scale of the opportunity in accelerating Italy's energy transition. ALTÉRRA brings deep climate focus and ambition, and we share their commitment to deploying capital with urgency and impact. This partnership is a powerful endorsement of Absolute Energy's innovative model and I Squared's long-standing approach to building transformational infrastructure businesses in critical sectors around the world.'
