Emaar Properties is set to unveil its most ambitious masterplan in the heart of Dubai - a AED200 billion development that aims to redefine urban living. The masterplan will deliver a GFA exceeding 4.5 million sq m, encompassing a mix of residential towers, villas and mansions, Grade-A offices, retail hubs, hospitality and cultural amenities.
Emaar Properties said it is in the process of exiting the JV structure relating to The Eighth Gate, its key mixed-use development in Damascus, thus marking a decisive new chapter in its long-standing relationship with Syria. With this move, the Dubai master developer will be operating in the country without any partner.
Emaar Properties delivered a strong start to the year 2026, supported by sustained demand across its core segments. In Q1 2026, Emaar’s revenue increased by 23 percent, while EBITDA grew faster at 34 percent, reflecting operating leverage, portfolio quality, and sustained cost discipline.
Dubai Holding and the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) have announced that Dubai Holding has acquired a 22.27 per cent equity stake in Emaar Properties from ICD, increasing its total shareholding to 29.73 per cent and making it the company’s largest shareholder.
Emaar Properties has reported a solid financial and operational performance for the full year 2025 clocking its highest-ever property sales of AED80.4 billion ($21.9 billion) in 2025, an increase of 16% over 2024 sales of AED 69.5 billion ($19 billion), driven by demand across established master communities and successful new launches.
