Every phase of the city’s growth creates new opportunities to raise expectations and redefine experiences. Emaar’s role is to continue building destinations that reflect Dubai’s ambition while maintaining the quality, innovation, and operational excellence that have shaped our business from the beginning.

    Large Development Land Bank Supports Pipeline

    The group held approximately 590 million square feet of mixed-use development land, including about 316 million square feet in the UAE, providing a substantial platform for future project launches.

    Its international development operations recorded Dh4.2 billion in property sales during the first half, with revenue reaching Dh1.1 billion, up 8 percent year-on-year.

    International operations accounted for about 4.6 percent of Emaar’s total revenue during the period, with Egypt and India among its key markets.

    Malls Maintain 98 Percent Occupancy

    Emaar’s shopping malls, retail and commercial leasing business generated Dh3.5 billion in revenue during the first half, an increase of 9 percent year-on-year.

    EBITDA from the segment rose 10 percent to Dh3.1 billion, while average occupancy across the portfolio remained at about 98 percent at the end of June.

    The company said leasing income remained supported by a predominantly base-rent structure despite a moderation in tenant sales.

    Emaar’s hospitality, leisure and entertainment business generated Dh1.6 billion in revenue during the period, while its UAE hotels recorded average occupancy of 60 percent.

    The group said softer international tourism flows affected the hospitality portfolio, with local and domestic demand providing some support.

    Recurring Revenue Portfolio Stable

    Recurring revenue from Emaar’s malls, hospitality, leisure, entertainment and commercial leasing assets stood at Dh5.1 billion, broadly unchanged from the first half of 2025.

    EBITDA from the recurring revenue portfolio was Dh4 billion and accounted for about 31 percent of total group EBITDA, providing a stable earnings base alongside the developer’s project sales.

    The results underscore Emaar’s position as Dubai’s largest developer by sales value, with performance aligning with broader market trends that saw the emirate complete 24,800 residential units during the first half of 2026 and record Dh221.4 billion in transaction values across 79,300 deals.

    Emaar Properties Records Dh22.4 Billion in Q1 2026 Sales

    Dubai’s leading real estate developer demonstrated robust performance in Q1 2026, with total revenue reaching Dh12.4 billion—a 23% jump compared to the same period in 2025. The growth was supported by strong contributions from both UAE and international operations.

    Emaar’s subsidiary, Emaar Development, recorded property sales of Dh20.1 billion during the quarter, representing a 22% increase year-on-year. The company’s net profit climbed to just under Dh3.5 billion, a 36% surge from Q1 2025.

    As of March 31, 2026, Emaar’s revenue backlog stood at approximately Dh163.4 billion, reflecting a 29% annual increase and providing strong revenue visibility for the coming years. Emaar Development’s backlog reached Dh134.6 billion, up 35% from the prior year.

    “Our performance in the first quarter of 2026 reflects the strength and resilience of the UAE economy, which continues to provide a stable foundation despite broader regional volatility,” said Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar.

    Alabbar emphasized that recent geopolitical developments have reinforced the UAE’s position as a market defined by safety, institutional continuity, and long-term vision. “The UAE’s stability is the result of decades of wise leadership, sustained investment in world-class infrastructure, and a clear, business-friendly policy environment,” he added.

    Despite regional tensions affecting the quarter’s final weeks, Emaar Development maintained construction schedules across all ongoing projects. The company launched 10 new residential projects across its master-planned communities in response to evolving market demand.

    The developer recently distributed a dividend equivalent to 100% of its share capital to shareholders, amounting to Dh8.9 billion—marking the second consecutive year of such a payout.

    Emaar’s Q1 performance aligns with broader market trends showing Dubai’s property sector resilience, as the emirate’s real estate market continues to attract sustained investor interest. The company’s strong backlog and project pipeline position it well to capitalize on Dubai’s robust Q1 market activity, which saw total transactions exceed Dh180 billion across the emirate.
