Financial Performance Highlights
Emaar Properties PJSC of Dubai announced strong financial results for this half of 2024, driven by a great surge in both net profit and revenue.

Emaar’s revenue for H1 2024 reached AED 14.4 billion, representing outstanding year-on-year growth of 17 percent. This considerable increase in revenues portrays the strong market position of the company and how the company has leveraged the booming real estate sector in Dubai effectively. On top of this, going further to underpin the company’s performance was its substantial property sales backlog of AED 90.1 billion as of June 2024 year-end. This backlog is likely to drastically boost future streams of revenue as Emaar continues to benefit from an increasing pipeline of demand for real estate in the region.
Emaar Development’s Performance
Emaar Development PJSC, the company’s key subsidiary and one of the leading build-to-sell property companies, has also turned in strong results for the first half of 2024. The development arm recorded a net profit of AED 2.50 billion, representing growth of 15 percent compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in profitability reflects how well Emaar Development is executing strategies related to the sale and development of property.
The company’s sales backlog has reached AED 74.2 billion, future revenue that is realized within the coming 4-5 years. This considerable backlog underlines the continued strong demand and the company’s successful positioning in the property market. With an increase in this backlog, further financial improvement is expected in Emaar Development in the coming years, firmly establishing it as one of the major players in Dubai’s real estate sector.
Market Outlook and Future Prospects
The strong financial results that Emaar Properties and Emaar Development reported for H1 2024 themselves talk about the strengths in resilience and growth potential that Dubai’s real estate market holds. A more than significant climb in revenues and net profit outlines how the business strategies of Emaar work efficiently to sail smoothly through the dynamic market environment. Besides this, the robust sales backlog seen in Emaar Properties and Emaar Development itself gives sufficient support for a rise in future revenues and stability in finances.
Against this backdrop, Emaar Properties is strongly positioned to build further on current market trends and demands for high-quality real estate. Strategic investments and development projects will be key drivers of growth and profitability in the future for the company. With a very solid backlog and a positive outlook in the market, Emaar will continue its lead role in Dubai’s real estate sector and create long-term value for shareholders.
In a nutshell, the solid performance of Emaar Properties and Emaar Development in the first half of 2024 showed that both companies could successfully sail through the opportunities available in the real estate market. Growth in net profit, revenue, and sales backlog appropriately alludes to strategies that both companies have come up with and implemented against increased demand for real estate in Dubai. Both companies are very well placed for further successes and growth in the future as they continue to build on this momentum.
