Emaar Properties PJSC announced it has achieved significant increase in first half profitability, underpinned by robust property sales and growth in the performance of recurring revenue businesses.
This performance is testament to the continued confidence in Emaar’s brand and overall post-pandemic recovery of Dubai’s economy, led by the real estate market.

Successful launch of properties by Emaar, both in the UAE and international markets, and concerted focus on sales of under-construction projects resulted in Emaar achieving record first half group property sales of AED17.672 billion (US$4.811 billion), an increase of 5 percent compared to the H1 2021 sales of AED16.842 billion (US$4.585 billion).
