Founded in 1997 to build what Dubai didn't yet have.
Mohamed Alabbar
since inception
Emaar was founded with a simple, immodest brief: build the city centre a rising metropolis didn't yet have. Within a decade, it had delivered Downtown Dubai — a master-plan anchored by the world's tallest tower, the largest mall on earth, and an eight-kilometre lake promenade that re-zoned how Dubai lived, dined, and showed off.
The company listed on the Dubai Financial Market in 2000, raising one of the region’s first major public-equity capitalisations. By 2010 it had topped out the Burj Khalifa. By 2020 it was developing across 12 countries. Today it remains the city’s largest master-planner — and one of the few developers whose hand-over standards are themselves a selling point to UHNW resale buyers.
For our clients, Emaar sits at the trusted end of the spectrum: delivery on time, finishes that hold their value, management associations that actually manage. A premium worth paying — and one that shows up in every resale comp.
“We don't build properties. We build places people want to belong to.” — Mohamed Alabbar, founding chairman
