Azizi Developments Assigns Rak Ceramics for Riviera in MBR City

Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, has assigned RAK Ceramics, one of the largest premium ceramic brands in the world, as the supplier for its floor and wall tiles, kitchen and bathroom fittings and more, for 26 of its prestigious developments in Riviera, MBR City.

For Riviera’s kitchens and vanity counter tops, Azizi has procured RAK’s MAXIMUS mega slab collection with marble effect, made from single pieces of porcelain creating a stunning visual and seamless design. Corridors will be tiled with the Allepo stone collection, and balconies with porcelain tiles from the concrete collection. Bathroom floors and walls will be fitted with modern glazed porcelain tiles, inspired by natural earthly rocks, from RAK’s shine stone collection. Further to this, wooden design living and bedroom porcelain flooring will add a contemporary rustic timber style to Riviera’s highly esteemed homes.

Mr. Afzaal Hussain, Chief Operating Officer at Azizi Developments, said: “Our valued customers – investment-savvy families of over 100 nationalities - deserve the very best. We pride ourselves on our developments embodying unparalleled modern luxury – a design and construction philosophy that sets us apart and ensures investor satisfaction. RAK Ceramic’s world-renowned, premium collection of ceramic products was selected as the ideal fit, perfectly matching Riviera’s remarkably high quality standards. We are delighted to have finalised our agreement with this reputable manufacturer, who much like ourselves is a homegrown UAE brand, and look forward to integrating their exceptional, wide product range.”

Mr Ohannes Tomassian, Vice President - Tiles and Sanitaryware Division of RAK Ceramics PJSC said "RAK Ceramics is highly committed to ceramic lifestyle innovation, and we are delighted and proud to be partnering with Azizi Developments to showcase some of our most exciting and contemporary tiles and mega-slab products in our home market of the United Arab Emirates.”

Mr Tomassian added "Azizi Developments is an important partner for RAK Ceramics, and this unique strategic partnership gives both companies a strong edge in the ever-changing ceramics solutions and property development landscape.”

Azizi is keen to support the UAE economy by procuring materials locally, provided that these meet its strict quality control guidelines. RAK Ceramics, which has international partnerships with esteemed brands such as the German Kludi, is a world-class manufacturer. Azizi’s comprehensive evaluation of various suppliers has revealed that RAK Ceramics is the ultimate fit, considering its remarkable quality standards.   

This premium supplier selection comes as a surprise and at no additional cost to Azizi’s customers, with over 95% of the first phase and more than 80% of the second phase already having sold out. Azizi prides itself on continuously enriching the designs and build quality of its projects even after sales have been made, in an effort to ensure customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Azizi’s Riviera, a stylish waterfront-lifestyle destination located in the heart of MBR City, is planned to comprise 71 mid-rise buildings with approximately 16,000 residences that are 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.

The homes offer spectacular views of the city’s skyline and ensure generous space, spread across three districts: an extensive retail boulevard, a canal walk with artisan eateries and boutiques, and Les Jardins — a lush-green social space.

The first phase of Riviera comprises 3,589 residences spread across 18 buildings, consisting of 2,461 studios, 935 one-bedroom, 111 two-bedroom, and 82 three-bedroom units, most of which are projected to be completed in 2020. Phase 1 has a total built-up area of 375,541 sq. m and a total gross floor area of 180,854 sq m.
