Azizi Developments, the leading private developer in the UAE, has added a total of 6,000 workers to its existing workforce to accelerate construction on its four-stage residential megaproject, Rivierain MBR City. The move comes as Azizi Developments marks 2019 as its "year of construction," dedicating it to the rapid construction of its ongoing projects.

Executive Director - Engineering Division at Azizi Developments, Mohamed Ragheb, said: Adding these substantial workforces to the Riviera helps ensure that they are delivered in a timely manner, as well as world-class standards of quality and aesthetics that we pride ourselves with. This community has a charm unlike the rest, which is reflected in it being one of our most well-received projects with an excellent investor response.

Riviera is the company's flagship community project in the heart of Dubai's MBR city, which includes more than 16,000 apartments in 71 medium-rise buildings that overlooking an extensive retail space, a canal walk with artisan restaurants and boutiques, and Les Jardins - a 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 major business, leisure and retail hubs, Riviera is one of Azizi Developments most sought-after projects. Designed to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, it is not just about architectural art, but also about a particular joie de vivre - a celebration of life, the joy of the spirit, the Riviera marks a new identity.

The completion of Phase I of the project is currently 54%, Phase 2 and Phase 3 are 36 and 22% respectively. So far, 198 slabs have been laid, 740,855 tons of concrete poured and 31 cranes have been erected.
