About the developer

Emaar Properties is one of the largest and most respected companies in the world. Founded by Mohamed Alabbar, who previously headed Dubai’s Department of Economic Development, the company specializes in large-scale residential and commercial real estate projects. With over 100 completed projects and more than 88,000 delivered residential units, Emaar has financed the construction of more than 60,000 properties in the UAE and other countries. The company is renowned for its prestigious projects, such as the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper, and the Dubai Mall, the largest shopping center in the world. Emaar also owns and manages other major properties including Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches, The Greens, The Meadows, and The Springs. In 2016, the company announced plans to build an even taller building than the Burj Khalifa, set to become a new symbol of Dubai.

Emaar’s flagship projects are primarily located in the UAE, especially in Dubai, where their headquarters are based. The company focuses on creating premium communities with developed infrastructure, including shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, and residential complexes. A key feature of their projects is attention to detail and the use of modern technologies. For instance, the Dubai Mall features over 1,200 shops and 200 restaurants, as well as attractions like an aquarium, an underwater zoo, an ice rink, and a cinema. Emaar also operates a hospitality business and manages shopping centers. Currently, the developer is working on an innovative project called Dubai Trolley, the world’s first hydrogen-powered tram system. Emaar Properties is rightly considered a leader in the Middle East market, setting high standards in the region’s real estate industry.
