Emaar Property Sales Jump 46% to $12.5 Billion in First Half of 2025

Dubai-based real estate company Emaar saw a big rise in its property sales, which reached $12.5 billion (AED 46 billion) in the first half of 2025. This is a 46% increase compared to the same time last year, thanks to strong demand from both local and international buyers.

Emaar’s Financial Results

Emaar’s total revenue grew by 38% to $5.4 billion (AED 19.8 billion), helped by strong performance in property development, shopping, hotels, and international business.

The company’s net profit before tax rose 34% to $2.8 billion (AED 10.4 billion). Its EBITDA (a measure of profit) also reached $2.8 billion, up 30%, with a high profit margin of over 52%.

Emaar’s future income from property sales, known as the revenue backlog, went up 62% to $39.8 billion (AED 146.3 billion) by June 30.

Malls and Hotels

Emaar’s shopping malls and rental business made $871 million (AED 3.2 billion), growing 14% from last year. This was due to high tenant sales and good occupancy rates. Profits in this segment rose 18% to $762 million (AED 2.8 billion).

Its hospitality and entertainment business earned $572 million (AED 2.1 billion), supported by strong tourism and local interest. Hotels in the UAE had an 80% average occupancy rate, up from 78% in the first half of 2024.

Emaar Development Highlights

Emaar Development, part of the group, earned $2.7 billion (AED 10 billion), up 35%, and made a 50% higher profit of $1.5 billion (AED 5.5 billion).

Revenues from Emaar’s UAE property development jumped 50% to $3.7 billion (AED 13.5 billion). The revenue backlog in this area rose 50% to $35 billion (AED 128.6 billion), showing strong interest in luxury homes across Dubai.

The company launched 25 new projects in the UAE and sold properties worth $11.1 billion (AED 40.6 billion), which is a 37% increase from last year.

International Growth

Emaar’s international business also performed well. It made $1.4 billion (AED 5.3 billion) in sales—a 200% increase, mainly from strong demand in India and Egypt.

Revenue from international operations rose 26% to $272 million (AED 1 billion), making up around 5% of Emaar’s total revenue in the first half of 2025.
