If you have watched Sharjah's property market, you already know the trend has shifted. Prices are climbing, buyers are back, and the emirate has quietly become one of the most talked-about markets in the country. Into all of these, Azizi Developments comes with its first big Sharjah project, Azizi Florence.

What is Azizi Florence Sharjah?

Azizi Florence master community in Um Fanain, Sharjah, by Azizi Developments
Azizi Florence — Azizi Developments' first major master community in Sharjah.

Azizi Florence is Azizi Developments' most ambitious master plan so far, and its first major launch into Sharjah. The community covers 30 million square feet in Um Fanain, split into six architecturally distinct residential clusters, with a central park as the organising idea of the whole masterplan.

A park first development. Azizi Florence has a 1.6 million square foot green space, ringed by six pocket parks, threaded with 11.5 kilometres of cycle and running track through it. Over a quarter of the master plan stays as open landscape. Most developers squeeze greenery into leftover corners. Florence flipped the order, and you can feel it in the layout.

Around the green spine, you get the homes, twelve residents' clubhouses, schools, healthcare, mosques and a retail high street. School run, gym, clinic, prayer, groceries and dinner are all within the master plan.

For Sharjah, the scale is new. Nothing close to 10,702 homes at this specification has come to the emirate before. For Azizi, it became the largest master community in the company's history.

Where is Azizi Florence located?

Azizi Florence is in Um Fanain, Sharjah, next to Sharjah Sustainable City, with direct frontage onto Emirates Road (E311). The airport is 10 to 15 minutes away, and Downtown Dubai is roughly 20 to 25 minutes.

DestinationDrive time
Sharjah International Airport10 to 15 min
SAIF Zone10 to 15 min
University City, Sharjah15 min
City Centre Al Zahia20 min
Downtown Dubai20 to 25 min
Dubai International Airport20 to 30 min

Azizi Florence has direct access to the E311. It connects you with Sharjah's airport and free zone within a quarter of an hour, and Dubai's core within half an hour. For investment point of view, you buy at Sharjah prices and get Dubai within easy reach. For a family working across the two emirates, or an investor investing in the commuter belt, the location is unmatched.

Um Fanain Public Park, Sharjah Sustainable City, the Wasit and Al Riffa health centres, University Hospital Sharjah, Emirates National School, Pamir Private School and the American University of Sharjah are all nearby, with the established Masaar and Aljada communities a short drive along the same road.

Properties For Sale in Azizi Florence

Azizi Florence offers 10,702 homes, among them 6,070 townhouses, 1,132 villas and 3,500 apartments. Five home types have been released so far, across the first clusters, and every single home comes with a private outdoor space.

Three and Four Bedroom Townhouses

The entry home is the three-bedroom townhouse. It opens at AED 1.89M for 2,224 square feet, with a private garden, covered parking and direct access to the cluster's pocket park. Pricing is near AED 850 per square foot. In the same budget across Dubai, you get a mid-floor apartment, not a house with its own garden. For a young family, this is the best option.

The four-bedroom townhouse steps up to AED 2.26M for 2,660 square feet. You gain a wider frontage, an added ensuite bedroom and a first-floor family room. Corner plots carry extra garden depth on two sides, so pick your unit carefully if outdoor space matters to you.

Four, Five and Six Bedroom Villas

In villas for sale, Azizi Florence offers three options:

  • Four-bedroom villa: from AED 3.35M, 3,714 sq. ft., with a private garden, pool provision and covered parking for two cars.
  • Five-bedroom villa: from AED 4.20M, 4,636 sq. ft., adding a full extra floor, a double-height entrance hall and a roof terrace above the principal bedroom.
  • Six-bedroom park-facing villa: from AED 4.95M, 4,930 sq. ft., the flagship home in the whole plan. Every bedroom comes en suite. Kitchens are gas-connected. Each home gets a private lift measuring 1.5 by 1.5 metres, and every plot carries 2.5 metres of side clearance.

Apartments

For apartments in Azizi Florence, buyers get 3500 homes. These are best suited for first-time buyers, and investors want rental yield. Layouts and pricing for the apartment cluster (Azizi Versilia) are released alongside the villa and townhouse phases.

Azizi Florence Master Plan

The Azizi Florence master plan — six clusters around a 1.6 million sq. ft. central park.

The master plan spans 30 million square feet in Um Fanain, arranged as six residential clusters around one central park. The park was drawn first, and the clusters, clubhouses and retail were placed around it, so over a quarter of the site stays as open landscape.

  • Total area: 30 million sq. ft.
  • Structure: six clusters, each facing the 1.6 million sq. ft. central park
  • Green network: six pocket parks plus 11.5 km of cycle and run track linking every cluster
  • Homes: 10,702 (6,070 townhouses, 1,132 villas, 3,500 apartments)
  • Community core: twelve clubhouses, two mosques, a school, a hospital and a retail high street inside the gates
  • Access: single-gated entrance off Emirates Road (E311), next to Sharjah Sustainable City

The Six Clusters, One Master Plan

Azizi Florence is not a single project; it has six clusters. Each cluster takes its name from a place in Tuscany, its own position against the central park, and its own architectural treatment.

ClusterPositionCharacter
Azizi LucardoNorth-eastThe arrival cluster, first off the E311 entrance
Azizi VersiliaNorth-westOpen air, the western approach, apartment terraces and pool decks
Azizi PienzaEastPlanned as one flowing composition
Azizi BellarnoCentreThe cluster on the park
Azizi SienaSouth-westThe quiet western wing
Azizi SoffianoSouth-eastWhere the greenery comes to rest

If you want the shortest walk to the park, Bellarno is your cluster. If you want the calmest corner, look south-west to Siena. And if you like being first through the gate each evening, Lucardo greets you at the entrance.

Azizi Florence Amenities and lifestyle

Amenities and clubhouses at Azizi Florence, Sharjah
Clubhouses, pools and green space among Azizi Florence's 85+ amenities.

Azizi Florence is designed so that a resident never needs to leave the community for anything routine. The headline is over 85 amenities and twelve residents' clubhouses, each with separate zones for men and women, spread across the six clusters.

Here is a list of what living inside Florence gives you:

  • Twelve residents' clubhouses, one theme per cluster, with pools, gyms and social space
  • Swimming pools for families, lap swimmers and children within every clubhouse zone
  • Fitness and wellness: indoor gyms, outdoor training decks, yoga lawns and treatment rooms
  • Two mosques, purpose-built and within walking distance of each cluster
  • A school and nursery, planned at roughly 1,000-student capacity
  • A hospital and clinics are inside the master plan, alongside pharmacies
  • A retail mall and high street for groceries, food and everyday services
  • EV charging is designed into resident and visitor parking
  • Kids' play and family zones, with shaded playgrounds and splash decks in every pocket park
  • Gated and secured clusters with controlled entry, 24-hour security and CCTV

Add the twelve clubhouses to the park and the track, and you get a community where a car becomes optional for the small errands. For families looking at a reputed school, a layout like this quietly buys back time. And time, in a busy emirate, often counts for as much as square footage.

The Azizi Florence Payment Plan

Azizi Florence brings a 30/70 construction-linked plan. You pay 30% across five instalments during the construction phase, then the remaining 70% on completion on 31 July 2029.

Why invest in Azizi Florence Sharjah?

Azizi Florence Sharjah investment opportunity with central park and villas
Azizi Florence pairs early-release pricing with a fast-growing Sharjah market.

Sharjah's residential market recorded AED 65.6 billion in transactions during 2025, a jump of 64% on the year before, according to Cavendish Maxwell. The first quarter of 2026 kept the curve climbing, adding a further 41% year on year. Demand is clearly real.

Here is why the Azizi Florence is a good investment now.

  • Scale: 10,702 homes across 30 million sq. ft. There has been nothing of this size in Sharjah before.
  • A keen entry point: A three-bed townhouse under AED 1.89 million, at roughly AED 850 per square foot, inside a fully amenitised community.
  • A market with momentum: 64% transaction growth in 2025, steepening into 2026.
  • Dubai on the doorstep: Twenty minutes to Downtown Dubai down the E311.
  • Amenity depth: Twelve clubhouses, 85 plus amenities, a hospital, a school and a mall inside the gates.
  • Early-release pricing: Clusters 1 and 2 offer the longest runway and the lowest entry in the plan.

The developer quotes an indicative gross ROI in the region of 5%, which is a reasonable, honest figure for a UAE villa community. One more point worth knowing: an investment of AED 2 million may qualify a buyer for a UAE residency visa, subject to the prevailing ICP criteria. For overseas buyers, the residency angle often matters as much as the yield.

Who should Buy Property in Azizi Florence?

Two types of buyers should think about Azizi Florence.

The first is the end-user family priced out of a Dubai house. A garden, covered parking and a school within walking distance, all under AED 1.9 million, is a package Dubai simply cannot match today. For these buyers, the Azizi Florence is paradise.

The second is that the investor wants to grab Sharjah's momentum. A 64% market jump does not go unnoticed, and off-plan entry at cluster-launch pricing leaves room for capital to grow before handover. Rental demand in Sharjah has firmed up too, helped by tenants leaving pricier Dubai postcodes.

A fair word of caution belongs here as well. Off-plan means a wait, and a wait carries risk. You are buying a promise on a drawing today, with completion years out, and delivery dates in the UAE do sometimes slip. Buy with a time horizon, not a deadline.
