Emaar Development PJSC announced on March 26 that its shareholders approved a full-year dividend payout of AED 4 billion (US$ 1.1 billion), representing 100% of the company’s share capital, during its Annual General Meeting.
The approval comes as Emaar Development reported its highest-ever property sales in 2025, reaching AED 71.1 billion (US$ 19.4 billion), a rise of nine percent compared to the previous year. The company’s revenue backlog increased to AED 125.2 billion (US$ 34.1 billion), which provides strong visibility for future revenue recognition.
Total revenue for the year was AED 27.5 billion (US$7.5 billion), up by forty-four percent from the previous year, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization grew by fifty-two percent to AED14.3 billion (US$3.9 billion). Net profit before tax reached AED15.5 billion (US$4.2 billion), also marking a fifty-two percent increase year-on-year with a margin of fifty-six percent.
In addition to financial results, Emaar Development expanded its portfolio with over forty-eight residential launches across master planned communities such as Grand Polo Club and Resort, The Valley, and Bristol at Emaar Beachfront in Dubai throughout the year. The company also announced Emaar Estate, which will feature Dubai Mansions targeting an international clientele seeking ultra-luxury residences.
Founder Mohamed Alabbar said: “Our performance in 2025 reflects the strength of Dubai’s development ecosystem and the clarity of vision that continues to guide the UAE’s growth. A stable regulatory framework, long-term planning, and openness to global investment create the conditions that enable companies like Emaar Development to plan confidently and deliver at scale. Ultimately, our focus remains on building communities that endure and contribute meaningfully to the city’s growth and quality of life.”
Looking ahead, Emaar Development plans to continue launching new residential destinations while strengthening its portfolio of master planned communities.
