Founded in 1997 by visionary entrepreneur Mohamed Alabbar, Emaar Properties was established with a mission to reshape the urban landscape of Dubai. While the Dubai government was an initial stakeholder, the company went public in 2000, ushering in an era of rapid global expansion.
Today, Emaar is more than a property developer; it is a diversified conglomerate with 60 subsidiaries operating in over 36 markets across the Middle East, North Africa, Pan-Asia, Europe, and North America.
Emaar's development philosophy centres on creating integrated communities rather than standalone projects. Each development is carefully planned to offer a balanced lifestyle, combining residential spaces with retail, leisure, green areas, education, healthcare, and connectivity. The company's long-term vision focuses on sustainability, community-centric planning, and architectural distinction.
Standing as a testament to Emaar's "limitless" philosophy, the Burj Khalifa remains the world's tallest structure at 828 meters. It is home to the world's first Armani Hotel Dubai and serves as the primary anchor for Dubai's tourism sector, which welcomed over 17.5 million international visitors in 2025.
Directly adjacent to the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall is the undisputed titan of global retail. In 2024, the mall shattered records with 111 million visitors. A massive AED 1.5 Billion expansion is currently underway to add 240 new luxury retail and dining outlets.
Set on the 30-acre Burj Lake, the Dubai Fountain is the world's largest choreographed fountain system. A 2025 refresh introduced AI-powered choreography, enhanced directional audio, and next-generation LED lighting.
Downtown Dubai is the crown jewel of Emaar's portfolio, a 2-square-kilometer mixed-use community. Known as the "Centre of Now," this flagship district integrates commercial hubs with cultural venues like the Dubai Opera, a 2,000-seat multi-format performing arts center.
Often hailed as "The Green Heart of Dubai," Dubai Hills Estate spans over 11 million square meters. The sprawling development includes a world-class 18-hole championship golf course, the iconic Dubai Hills Mall, and 1.45 million square meters of parks and open spaces.
Dubai Creek Harbour represents the future of waterfront living, situated in close proximity to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. The community offers tranquil waterfront living with panoramic views of the Dubai skyline, upcoming Dubai Metro expansion, luxury hotels, and retail outlets.
Emaar South is a dynamic residential hub located within Dubai South, near Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. It features an 18-hole championship golf course, 25 neighborhood parks, and is emerging as one of the city's most promising investment hotspots.
The Valley is a picturesque, family-oriented community accessible via the Dubai-Al Ain Road. It blends contemporary neighborhoods with expansive green spaces and a vibrant Town Centre. As of late 2025, Phase 2 introduced highly anticipated projects including Vindera, Avelia, and Ovelle.
The Oasis by Emaar is a USD 20 billion ultra-luxury sanctuary spanning 100 million square feet of lush greenery and tranquil waterways. Featuring 7,000 residential units primarily as large villas with private jetties overlooking swimmable lagoons, it represents the pinnacle of Emaar luxury.
Emaar's flagship waterfront destination blends Dubai's maritime heritage with bold contemporary design. Located near Port Rashid, it features a world-class marina with 430+ berths capable of accommodating yachts up to 100 meters.
An exclusive gated island lifestyle at the heart of Dubai Harbour, featuring 27 residential towers set along 1.5 km of pristine white sand shoreline with breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai Marina skyline.
Emaar offers flexible 80/20 or 90/10 payment structures. Typically investors pay 10% as a down payment, followed by manageable installments during the construction phase, with the final 10%–20% due only upon completion. Select projects offer post-handover payment plans as well.
