Azizi Florence is Azizi Developments’ master community in Um Fanain, on the inland eastern edge of Sharjah city fronting Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. At 30 million sq ft, roughly 689 acres, and 10,702 planned homes for a population of about 49,000, it is not a project with a masterplan attached. It is a town, and it is being built in a market where the ownership rules, the regulator and the buyer protections are all different from Dubai’s.
The shape of the plan
The 10,702 homes divide into 6,070 townhouses, 3,500 apartments and 1,132 villas, laid out across six residential clusters. A quarter of the parcel is held as greenery, anchored by a Central Park of 1.7 million sq ft running 1.9 km end to end, with 160,000 trees and a 4.7 km cycling track through it. Twelve gates and 49 km of internal roads serve the site.
The amenity programme is scaled to the population rather than to a sales brochure: twelve clubhouses, a 700,000 sq ft community mall, a 120-key five-star hotel, a school for 1,000 students, two grand mosques with a smaller mosque in each cluster, and a long tail of leisure, a cinema, a ballroom seating over a thousand, an amphitheatre, a skate park, a roller rink, a funfair with an observation wheel and a food-truck promenade. Azizi puts the total at 108 amenities.
What is actually on sale
Clusters 1 and 2 release first: 1,300 and 853 homes, 2,153 in total, about a fifth of the community. Both are townhouses and villas only. The 3,500 apartments sit elsewhere in the masterplan and are not part of this phase, and the phasing of the remaining four clusters has not been announced.
Seven configurations are published. Three-bedroom townhouses run 2,214 sq ft saleable on a 1,614 sq ft plot as a middle unit and 2,387 sq ft on 1,937 sq ft as a corner. Four-bedroom townhouses run 2,600 sq ft on 1,937 sq ft and 2,711 sq ft on 2,260 sq ft. The villas are 3,822 sq ft saleable on 3,363 sq ft of plot at four bedrooms, 4,635 sq ft on 3,767 sq ft at five, and 4,955 sq ft on 4,843 sq ft at six. Every bedroom is en-suite and every home has a private lift, which is unusual specification at townhouse level anywhere in the UAE.
Six clusters, two design languages
The six clusters are named rather than numbered in the marketing: Azizi Lucardo, Azizi Bellarno and Azizi Soffiano are drawn in a contemporary idiom, while Azizi Versilia, Azizi Pienza and Azizi Siena take a Mediterranean one. Each carries its own clubhouse and cluster park, and all six connect through a central spine to Azizi Bardini Park at the middle of the site. For a buyer this matters more than it sounds: it means the architectural character of your street is set by which cluster you buy in, and it means each cluster has amenity of its own rather than depending entirely on the centre.
Azizi Bardini Park is the piece the masterplan is organised around. At 1.7 million sq ft it carries 32 activity zones and 16 dining destinations, a 3,000-seat outdoor amphitheatre, botanical and zen gardens, a glow garden and a sculpture park, with 837 parking spaces and EV charging. Across the whole community Azizi counts 108 amenities and more than 160,000 trees and plants.
What is on sale, and what it costs
Clusters 1 and 2 are the released phase: 1,300 and 853 homes, 2,153 in total, about a fifth of the community and townhouses and villas only. The 3,500 apartments sit elsewhere in the masterplan and the phasing of the remaining four clusters has not been announced.
Entry is AED 1,890,000 for a three-bedroom townhouse. Both townhouse formats price flat at about AED 850 per sq ft and the villas at AED 902 to AED 1,004, on a 30/70 payment plan triggered by elapsed days rather than construction milestones, completing 31 July 2029. The full price sheet, the payment schedule and the unit formats are analysed on our page for Azizi Florence Clusters 1 and 2.
The tenure question
This is the item to settle before anything else. Sharjah grants ownership eligibility to individual registered projects approved by the Executive Council, not to districts, and the tenure type for Azizi Florence, freehold under Law No. 2 of 2022 or usufruct of up to 100 years under Resolution No. 26 of 2014, is not stated in the launch material and is not established by any public source we can cite. Get it in writing, together with the project’s Real Estate Development Register reference, before you pay anything.
The protections themselves are real and worth knowing. Since Executive Council Resolution No. 37 of 2024, project escrow with a department-approved trustee is mandatory in Sharjah, and funds release to the developer in proportion to construction progress certified by licensed engineering consultants rather than on a calendar. A developer bank guarantee worth 20 per cent of construction value unwinds in four tranches at 25, 50 and 75 per cent completion, with the last quarter held back until mortgages are discharged, utilities connected and title deeds issued. The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department administers all of it.

Can a foreigner buy freehold at Azizi Florence?
Not established. Sharjah grants ownership eligibility to individual registered projects approved by the Executive Council rather than to districts, and the tenure type for Florence, freehold under Law No. 2 of 2022 or usufruct of up to 100 years, is not stated in the launch material or by any public source. Request written confirmation of the title type, its availability to your nationality, and the project registration reference.
Is my payment protected?
Sharjah requires project escrow with a department-approved trustee under Executive Council Resolution No. 37 of 2024, releasing funds against construction progress certified by licensed engineering consultants. A developer bank guarantee worth 20 per cent of construction value unwinds in four tranches, the last only once mortgages are discharged, utilities connected and title deeds issued. Confirm the escrow account against the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department.
