    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.

  • Modon’s Tara Park Sells Out with AED2 Billion in Sales

    Modon has completed the sell-out of Tara Park on Reem Island, marking a significant milestone as the 834-apartment development generated approximately AED2 billion in sales. The achievement reflects sustained investor confidence in Abu Dhabi’s property sector as the emirate solidifies its position as a global safe-haven investment destination.

    “Tara Park further validates Modon’s disciplined, market-driven approach, connecting a prime location and thoughtful placemaking to generate sustainable urban growth and long-term value. We continue to see strong demand across the market, which speaks to the confidence that local and international buyers continue to place in Abu Dhabi, particularly for projects where clear attention to quality of life supports future investment potential,” said Bill O’Regan, Group CEO of Modon Holding.

    International Buyers Drive 60% of Demand

    The development attracted significant international interest, with approximately 60% of buyers originating from overseas markets. Russia, the United Kingdom, and India represented the leading sources of demand, demonstrating the project’s broad global appeal.

    Notably, 85% of buyers were first-time investors with Modon, underscoring both the strength of the development’s positioning and its success in expanding the developer’s international investor base.

    “The sell-out Tara Park sends a clear signal. Buyers are not hesitating. Buyers are making considered, long-term decisions. Tara Park was designed with clear buyer priorities and needs in mind, and the market response has validated that approach entirely,” said Ibrahim Al Maghribi, CEO of Modon Real Estate.

    Premium Location with Integrated Amenities

    Tara Park comprises six residential towers offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The towers are connected by an active podium that provides residents with access to a wide range of amenities and direct connectivity to Reem Mall.

    The development’s strategic location offers proximity to Fay Park, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, and Repton School, alongside easy access to Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), The Galleria Mall, and the wider city center.

    The sell-out coincides with record-breaking performance across Abu Dhabi’s residential market, which delivered its second-strongest quarter on record in Q1 2026. Transaction volumes in Abu Dhabi City exceeded 7,200 deals, just below the all-time peak of 7,600 recorded in Q4 2025, according to Savills’ latest Market in Minutes report.

    As ultra-high-net-worth individuals continue to increase across the UAE, developments like Tara Park demonstrate sustained appetite for quality residential projects in prime locations. The capital’s momentum reflects broader confidence in the UAE’s economic resilience and long-term growth trajectory.
