With a net profit of AED 7.8 billion for the first half of 2024, Emaar Properties, which is one of the leading real estate developers in the United Arab Emirates, recorded an astounding growth of 33% in net profit. The sustained high demand in Dubai’s flourishing real estate market is partly responsible for this growth, which has been observed.
During the same time period, also experiencing considerable development were revenues, which increased by 17% to reach AED 14.4 billion. A significant factor that has contributed to the success of the company is the strategic investments that it has made in important assets and developments. These investments have helped to improve the company’s financial performance and its long-term growth prospects.
The fact that Emaar’s property sales reached an all-time high was one of the most significant factors that were responsible for this increase. Over the course of the first half of 2024, the total value of the group’s property transactions increased by 56%, reaching AED 31.5 billion. Both in the United Arab Emirates and among buyers from other countries, the desire for community-oriented initiatives is expanding, which contributes to these results. New projects are also being launched. With property sales of AED 29.7 billion in the first half of the year alone, Emaar Development, a key subsidiary of the firm, emerged as a substantial contributor to this expansion.
According to Gulf News (2024) and MENAFN (2024), the company’s property sales backlog continued to grow dramatically, reaching a total of AED 90.1 billion. This is a 43% growth from June 2023, which ensures a consistent flow of revenue in the years to come. The emphasis that the company placed on improving its operational efficiencies contributed significantly to the enhancement of its financial performance. As a result of the company’s achievements in reducing expenses and increasing profit margins, Emaar’s earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation(EBITDA) increased by 24%, reaching 8 billion AED.

Moreover, strategic investments were made in high-demand regions such as Dubai Creek Harbour and other luxury masterplan projects such as The Heights Country Club & Wellness and Grand Polo Club & Resort, all of which are valued at a combined AED 96 billion. These investments further contributed to the operating efficiency of the company.
The retail and commercial leasing businesses of Emaar also make a significant contribution to the company’s overall earnings. Through commercial leasing, the firm was able to generate AED 2.8 billion in revenue. The company’s malls and commercial assets, particularly Dubai Mall, experienced occupancy rates that were close to 99%. Emaar’s dominance in the retail industry was further solidified by an investment of Dh1.5 billion to develop Dubai Mall, which contributed to the expansion of this sector.
With an eye toward the future, Emaar intends to continue releasing new and innovative projects in order to capitalize on the favorable market trends that are now present in Dubai’s real estate sector. To ensure that it can satisfy the ever-increasing demand for environmentally responsible ways of life, the corporation is also putting an emphasis on sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly designs and technologies into its developments.
The outstanding financial success that Emaar achieved in the first half of 2024 is a direct result of the strategic investments and operational improvements that the company has implemented, which positions it in a strong position for future expansion. Its success in property sales, notably in Dubai, as well as its focus on environmentally responsible and community-oriented developments, ensure that Emaar will continue to be a significant participant in the market for real estate in the region, which is seeing rapid growth.
