Emaar Properties PJSC reported strong financial results for 2025 and a robust start to 2026, reinforcing confidence in Dubai’s economic outlook. The company achieved its highest-ever property sales last year, reaching AED 80.4 billion. Revenue for 2025 was AED 49.6 billion, with net profit before tax at AED 25.7 billion. As of December 31, 2025, Emaar’s revenue backlog stood at AED 155 billion, which provides visibility into future earnings.
Recurring income from malls, hospitality, leisure, entertainment, and commercial leasing represented 32 percent of the company’s total EBITDA in 2025. Emaar’s Board of Directors recommended maintaining dividends at 100 percent of share capital for the year.
In the first two months of 2026, Emaar’s UAE property sales reached AED 17.2 billion—an increase of 118 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.
The company highlighted Dubai’s regulatory environment and diversified economy as key factors supporting investor confidence and long-term growth prospects. Emaar continues to maintain a substantial land bank of approximately 618 million square feet.
Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar, said: “Emaar’s performance reflects the strength of Dubai’s economic vision and the confidence investors place in its stability and long-term prospects. The city continues to demonstrate resilience, supported by effective leadership, sound regulation, and a dynamic business environment. Our focus remains on disciplined execution, operational excellence, and delivering sustainable value for our shareholders and customers.”
Emaar stated that all its communities, malls, hospitality assets, and development projects are operating normally due to comprehensive business continuity planning.
Since its founding in 2002, Emaar has delivered over 125,600 residential units globally and manages around 1.4 million square meters of leasing revenue-generating assets as well as a portfolio of hotels totaling about 10,000 keys (including both owned and managed properties). Approximately one-quarter of its revenue comes from shopping malls; hospitality; leisure; entertainment; commercial leasing; and international businesses.
Emaar is known for developments such as Burj Khalifa—the world’s tallest building—and Dubai Mall.
