Emaar Properties

The UAE’s largest real estate developer, Emaar Properties, has enjoyed its unmatched reputation for more than 29 years. Playing a crucial role in shaping the emirate’s modern urban landscape, it remains boastful through its diversified portfolio. From mixed-use developments to hospitality, retail, and residential ventures, the company wraps an array of self-contained communities within its existence.

Emaar Properties entered the UAE property market in 1997 and rapidly gained traction from investors due to its backing by two prominent stakeholders. The ruler of Dubai (Mohd. bin Rashid Al Maktoum), as well as the Investment Corporation of Dubai (UAE’s sovereign wealth fund), has massive stakes invested in the company.

The company is renowned for jaw-dropping delivery of 125,600 residences delivered across areas in Dubai and other global markets from 2002 to 2026. Approximately 42,200 units are currently undergoing the development phase, according to the firm's reports for 2025. Beyond the UAE, Emaar Properties expanded its operations in more than 12 global markets. Its revenue backlog revolves around AED 163.4 billion, according to the latest reports from March 2026, while the distribution of dividends worth AED 8.9B equals 100% of its share capital.

The robust sales record in 2025 by Emaar Properties continued as the company reported AED 17.2B UAE property sales value in just the first two months of 2026. This represents an exceptional surge of 118% YoY compared to AED 7.9B recorded in the same period of 2025. Dubai Holding acquired 22.27% stakes from the Investment Corporation of Dubai in May 2026, reinforcing its position as the largest shareholder of Emaar. Anchored on the company’s latest closing share price, a share transfer value revolves around AED 23.9B.

Additionally, the company is ready to launch the tender for the Dubai Creek Tower construction in 2026, marking another milestone achievement globally after Burj Khalifa. Moreover, its possession of 618 million sq. ft. of land bank across the UAE and other international markets provides evidence of Emaar’s unrivalled growth.

Both ready and off-plan properties by Emaar attract savvy investors and real estate owners for the company's unparalleled reputation in the market. In 2025 alone, the firm released an impressive number of 48 new residential ventures. This large-scale launch not only unfolded tremendous opportunities but also reflected sustained demand for its communities. It also placed Emaar as the leader of the UAE real estate market with a potential for large-scale urban development.

Also, the company’s boastful and resilient income-generating portfolio further creates excellent appeal among property investors. The footprint of leasable assets is equivalent to 1.4 million sq. mtr, along with 41 hotels under its management.

Moreover, each of its communities exhibits a self-sustained ecosystem, such as Dubai Creek Harbour, which introduces a waterfront urban enclave and is anchored by future leisure, residential, and commercial assets. Dubai Hills emphasizes an integrated community living, inclusive of retail, parks, and education, whereas Emaar South draws attention for its adjacency to the DWC airport.
