Dubai’s premier real estate developer Emaar Development has announced unprecedented financial achievements for the fiscal year 2025, marking its most successful performance since inception. The property giant, operating as a majority-controlled subsidiary of Emaar Properties, demonstrated remarkable growth across all key metrics amid soaring demand for residential properties throughout Dubai.
The company’s annual property sales reached an extraordinary Dh71.1 billion, representing a 9% increase from the previous year and establishing a new benchmark in the company’s history. This exceptional performance has been attributed to strategic project expansions and sustained market confidence in Dubai’s real estate landscape, driven by demographic expansion, increased international investment, and supportive regulatory frameworks.
Financial indicators revealed spectacular progress with revenues skyrocketing 44% to Dh27.5 billion, while pre-tax net profit experienced a substantial 52% leap to Dh15.5 billion. These figures reflect enhanced operational efficiency and favorable market conditions. The revenue backlog—representing future earnings from sold but undelivered properties—expanded significantly to Dh125.2 billion, ensuring strong financial visibility for forthcoming years.
In a move rewarding investor confidence, the board has proposed a record dividend distribution of Dh4 billion, a 47% increase from the previous year, subject to shareholder ratification.
Strategic expansion efforts in 2025 included the acquisition of 36 million square feet of land with an estimated development value of Dh120 billion. The company launched over 48 residential developments within its master-planned communities, featuring new phases in The Valley, Bristol at Emaar Beachfront, and the Grand Polo Club and Resort.
A landmark announcement included Emaar Hills, an ambitious new district featuring Dubai Mansions—ultra-luxury residences targeting high-net-worth international buyers, signaling the company’s intensified focus on the premium property segment.
Founder Mohamed Alabbar emphasized that these achievements demonstrate the robustness of Dubai’s development ecosystem and the UAE government’s forward-looking policies. “The stable regulatory environment, strategic long-term planning, and openness to global investment enable developers like Emaar to execute large-scale projects with confidence,” Alabbar stated, noting the company’s continued commitment to creating communities that elevate living standards.
Since 2002, Emaar Development has delivered more than 80,500 residential units and currently maintains approximately 51,000 units under development across Dubai’s most prestigious communities, including Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Emaar Beachfront.
