Burj Azizi is a skyscraper to be built as a centrepiece of Sheikh Zayed Road, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It will have 133 floors for various purposes.[4] Burj Azizi could be the world's second tallest building once completed, if it reaches the proposed height of 725 meters.[5]

History

[edit]

In 2012, Meydan Group announced the Entisar Tower as a 570 m (1,870 ft) tower and 122-story. Groundbreaking occurred in 2016. Construction was halted in 2017 due to Dubai's civic building proposals department issuing a stop-work order due to a payment dispute with the developers, with the ensuing property bust making the projects abandoned.

Entisar Tower

In 2018, Azizi Developments acquired the long-stalled Entisar Tower. In January 2024, the tower was rebranded and renamed as Burj Azizi, and construction restarted on 18 January 2024.[citation needed]
