Emaar Properties

Emaar Properties was founded in 1997 by Mohamed Alabbar and is listed on the Dubai Financial Market. Its first large Dubai projects included Emirates Living (The Meadows, The Springs, The Lakes, The Greens) and Dubai Marina, where it acted as master developer. It then developed Downtown Dubai, including Burj Khalifa, completed in 2010.

Today the group has three main lines of business: building and selling homes (mostly through Emaar Development PJSC, also listed on the DFM), recurring-income assets such as The Dubai Mall and its hotels, and international development. The company reports about 590 million sq ft of land bank in the UAE and abroad.
