Who is Emaar Properties, and who backs it?

Emaar Properties was founded in 1997 and is headquartered at Emaar Square, Dubai. It describes itself as a global property developer with a presence in 36 markets across the Middle East, North Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Emaar Properties is listed on the Dubai Financial Market (ticker EMAAR).

What has Emaar delivered in Dubai?

Emaar organizes its portfolio into named community hubs, each with its own page — Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar Beachfront, Rashid Yachts & Marina, The Valley, Arabian Ranches III, Emaar South and Address Al Marjan Island. Individual project-level completion dates within these hubs were not accessible in the pages we could reach this round.

What should you check before buying from Emaar Properties?

The same due-diligence steps apply to any Dubai developer, Emaar Properties included. Confirm the project's registration and escrow status before you sign anything or send a deposit.

  • Verify the project's Oqood off-plan registration and its escrow account directly with the Dubai Land Department, not from a sales brochure.
  • Read the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the payment plan, the handover date and any penalty clauses before you pay a reservation fee.
  • Ask Emaar Properties for the project's DLD registration number and check it yourself.

This is the same due-diligence process we recommend for every developer on this site, not a Emaar Properties-specific step.

What are the limitations of this profile?

This page states only what Emaar Properties' own published pages, and the government sources named above, say as of 8 September 2026. Emaar's investor-relations pages are a JavaScript application our research could not render this round, so per-project or per-segment average-selling-price detail beyond what is stated above was not available. No price-per-square-foot or return figure appears anywhere on this page: this research round found no dated, sourced pair that meets ProEstate's own basis-and-citation standard for Emaar Properties or its projects, so none is shown, estimated or implied.
