Emaar Confirms Normal Operations as Sales Surge 118% in Early 2026

Emaar performance remains robust as the company confirms that all malls, hotels, and development projects operate normally. Despite regional instability, the developer sustained growth and investor confidence in Dubai’s real estate sector.

The UAE’s largest developer stated that its communities, hospitality assets, and ongoing development projects continue normal operations. The company credited thorough business continuity planning and close coordination with authorities for its resilience.

Regional tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran have affected Gulf markets since Saturday. Iran launched missiles and drones targeting Gulf countries. Nevertheless, Dubai’s business environment demonstrated stability. Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar, emphasized disciplined execution, operational excellence, and delivering sustainable value to shareholders and customers.

Emaar owns and manages prominent assets and master communities, including Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Hills Estate, and Dubai Creek Harbour. These assets underpin the company’s revenue streams and long-term growth.

Sales more than doubled in the first two months of 2026. UAE property sales reached Dh17.2 billion compared to Dh7.9 billion during the same period last year, marking a 118 percent increase. Analysts note that this growth reflects both investor confidence and Dubai’s resilient economic outlook.

The company’s strong start builds on record 2025 results. Last year, Emaar achieved Dh80.4 billion in property sales, Dh49.6 billion in revenue, and Dh25.7 billion in net profit before tax. The revenue backlog reached Dh155 billion as of December 31, 2025. Recurring income from malls, hospitality, leisure, entertainment, and commercial leasing accounted for 32 percent of total EBITDA.

With diversified income streams, strong liquidity, and disciplined cost management, Emaar remains well-positioned to sustain growth. The company emphasized that its performance reflects Dubai’s economic vision and the confidence investors place in its long-term stability.

Furthermore, Alabbar highlighted that effective leadership and sound regulation contribute to Dubai’s resilience. He noted that the city continues to attract investment, even amid regional military developments.

Emaar performance illustrates how strategic planning, operational excellence, and investor confidence combine to ensure continued business growth. The developer plans to maintain momentum while supporting Dubai’s capital market strength.
