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. Burj Azizi could be the world's second tallest building once completed, if it reaches the proposed height of 725 meters.

History

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.

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.
