A track record built over three decades
Emaar Properties remains the primary architect of Dubai’s built environment, with a portfolio that spans Downtown Dubai and the Dubai Mall to newer waterfront and suburban masterplans across the city. Its scale gives buyers something few developers can — the same institutional standard of delivery, whether the entry point is a studio apartment or a signature villa.
The Q1 2026 figures put Emaar’s quarterly property sales at roughly AED 22.4 billion, a year-on-year gain of 16%, against a backlog exceeding AED 163 billion — a strong signal of sustained capital moving into the brand across every buyer segment.
