Mirwais Azizi, the founder and chairman of Azizi Developments, has said that he will build the second tallest tower in the world with a height of 725 meters in Dubai.In an interview with CNN, he said that the construction of the &Azizi Tower& started in January of this year, with the approval of the Dubai authorities.&From the outset, we had plans for two designs — one for the initially approved height of 526 meters, and the other for the taller, now-approved 725 meters,& Aziz told CNN.According to him, the preliminary works for the construction of this tower are well underway.This tower is located on Sheikh Zayed Road, in Dubai&s World Trade Center.Burj Azizi will still stand almost 340 feet shorter than the 2,717-foot-tall Burj Khalifa, less than two miles away.

But it will handily beat local competition for the city&s second-tallest title, exceeding the current holder, Marina 101 (1,394 feet).The 131-story skyscraper will feature apartments, an all-suite &seven-star& luxury hotel and a seven-floor &vertical& shopping mall.Azizi stated investment in the project has surpassed 6 billion dirhams ($1.6 billion).&My vision for Burj Azizi is to create a lasting legacy, a tribute to Dubai as a destination of choice for both residents and visitors and a monumental achievement in engineering,& said Azizi.Burj Azizi is slated for completion in 2028, with apartments expected to go on sale in February 2025.The post Mirwais Azizi building world&s second-tallest tower in Dubai first appeared on Ariana News.
