Emaar Properties is one of Dubai’s premier real estate developers, recognized globally for creating landmark projects such as the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, and major urban communities like Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai. Over the years, Emaar has played a significant role in shaping Dubai’s skyline and developing master-planned communities that attract both residents and investors from around the world.

Financial Performance and Strategy
In the first half of 2025, Emaar recorded a 33% increase in net profit, reaching AED 7.08 billion. This growth was driven by a 46% surge in property sales, totaling AED 46 billion. The company’s revenue backlog also grew by 62% to AED 146.3 billion. Emaar announced a record AED 8.8 billion dividend payout for 2024, doubling the amount from the previous year. To further improve control over quality, costs, and timelines, Emaar launched its own construction arm, Rukn Mirage, while still outsourcing some projects for flexibility. The company is also reevaluating its international footprint, including exploring the sale of its stake in Indian operations.
