Through Azizi Retail, Azizi Developments’ division for outlets, the retail spaces are embedded into its master-planned communities and residential towers, adding leisure, shopping and eatery amenities and creating a bustling social space with a strong potential for business profitability.

Farhad Azizi, chief executive of Azizi Developments, said: “Retail spaces enhance our communities and are a lucrative investment that our research attributes to growing investor interest in strategically placed brick-and-mortar outlets.

“It is a mutually beneficial integration whereby our residents benefit from lifestyle-enhancing leisure and convenience options, while commercial entities have a bustling environment to conduct prosperous businesses in.”

Azizi Developments’ recently launched retail space spans across a total of over 410,000 sq. ft.
