Emaar, the company founded and led by Mohamed Alabbar, is experiencing a remarkable surge in real estate sales. In just the first half of 2025, the company generated approximately AED 46 billion (USD 12.5 billion) in sales in the United Arab Emirates, marking a 46% increase compared to the same period last year—surpassing all previous records, according to local media reports.
The company’s revenue rose to AED 19.8 billion, representing a 38% year-on-year increase, driven by strong performance in development, retail, hospitality, and international operations.
“Revenue increased by 38% to USD 5.4 billion; EBITDA rose 30% to USD 2.8 billion; net profit before tax increased by 34% to USD 2.8 billion; and the backlog of contracts grew by 62% to USD 39.8 billion. Emaar Properties continues to deliver outstanding results, maintaining the strong momentum of Dubai’s real estate market with new record achievements in the second quarter,” reports Arabian Business.
Mohamed Alabbar, who has recently expressed strong interest in investing in Montenegro, stated that these impressive results are the product of teamwork driven by a desire to create value for the community.
“Numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Behind every sale, every project, every community, there is intention. There is a team asking: how can we do better? How can we make someone’s everyday life more meaningful? The first half of 2025 reflects exactly this kind of thinking. The focus is not only on meeting goals, but on creating lasting impact and strengthening the connections that drive sustained growth,” Alabbar emphasized.
The article further notes that the UAE-based company recorded steady growth across all key business segments in the second quarter, with continued strong sales performance, rising backlog value, and improved profitability.
During the quarter, S&P Global upgraded Emaar’s credit rating to BBB+, while Moody’s raised its rating to Baa1, both with stable outlooks. This affirms the strength of the company’s strategy, operational excellence, and sustainable performance, while also highlighting its strong focus on cost efficiency and value maximization across all areas of business.
