Emaar Properties

Emaar Properties is Dubai's largest and best-known developer. It was founded in 1997 by Mohamed Alabbar, listed on the Dubai Financial Market after its 2000 public offering, and counts the Investment Corporation of Dubai among its main shareholders. Emaar created many of the communities that define modern Dubai. Downtown Dubai is home to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and The Dubai Mall, while Dubai Marina and the Emirates Living neighbourhoods of The Springs, The Meadows and The Lakes were among the city's first freehold districts. Its villa master plans include Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate, and newer waterfront projects such as Dubai Creek Harbour and Emaar Beachfront continue to drive off-plan sales. The company operates across the luxury and upper mid-market segments and runs its own hotel, mall and community management businesses. It also has subsidiaries in Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan and other markets. For buyers, Emaar offers scale, a long delivery record and strong resale liquidity, usually at a price premium.
