Emaar confirms that its communities, malls, and projects continue to operate normally despite regional tensions.
Dubai: Emaar has stated that all its communities, malls, hospitality assets, and development projects are operating normally despite increasing geopolitical tensions in the region.
“The city continues to show resilience, underpinned by strong leadership, robust regulation, and a vibrant business environment. Our focus remains on disciplined execution, operational excellence, and creating sustainable value for our shareholders and customers,” said the company’s founder, Mohamed Alabbar.
The reassurance comes amid heightened uncertainty across the Middle East following the outbreak of military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran since Saturday.
Record performance strengthens resilience
The company’s statement follows a record financial year that has strengthened its balance sheet and positioned it for continued growth.
Emaar recorded its strongest performance to date in 2025, with property sales totaling Dh80.4 billion. Revenue rose to Dh49.6 billion, while net profit before tax reached Dh25.7 billion.
The developer also closed the year with a revenue backlog of Dh155 billion, providing strong visibility over future earnings and cash flows. This backlog highlights the scale of projects currently under construction and scheduled for delivery in the coming years.
Strong start to 2026
Momentum from 2025 has carried into 2026, with property demand continuing to accelerate in the opening months of the year.
Emaar reported UAE property sales of Dh17.2 billion in the first two months of 2026, up from Dh7.9 billion during the same period last year, marking a year-on-year increase of approximately 118%.
Mohamed Alabbar said the company’s strong performance reflects the broader stability of the emirate’s economic model.
“Emaar’s performance demonstrates the strength of Dubai’s economic vision and the confidence investors have in its stability and long-term prospects,” he added.
Emaar’s portfolio includes some of Dubai’s most prominent residential communities, retail destinations, and hospitality assets. The company manages large-scale developments that accommodate tens of thousands of residents and attract millions of visitors each year.
Despite ongoing geopolitical developments in the region, the developer confirmed that all operations are continuing without interruption.
