Emaar, in Arabic, means ‘to build,’ and we build world-class homes, prime commercial offices, spectacular malls and luxurious hotels – all prime drivers of the economy.

When established in 1997, our vision at Emaar Properties PJSC was to transform not only the physical landscape of Dubai but every aspect of the city.

We pioneered integrated communities in Dubai and gave people, for the first time, a world-class lifestyle. We also gave them a feeling of belonging, and of community. Over the years, we developed global icons that demonstrate the can-do ability of Dubai and its people.

In line with our commitment to offer long-term value to our stakeholders, we also diversified into synergistic businesses including shopping malls & retail, hospitality & leisure and healthcare, but our core will continue to be property development and real estate.

The showpiece in our development portfolio is Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building and a testament to what humanity can achieve through global collaboration. Burj Khalifa stands for Dubai’s capacity and ability to deliver complex projects in challenging environments.

Burj Khalifa is not a stand-alone tower; it anchors the 500-acre Downtown Dubai community, the ultimate lifestyle destination, catering to a wider geographic population of over 1 billion people in the Middle East and North Africa region, Asia and Europe. Their shopping and leisure needs are met at The Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping and entertainment destination, complemented by Souk Al Bahar, an Arabesque-themed mall. With several world-class hotels, The Dubai Fountain, hundreds of homes and superior commercial offices, Downtown Dubai is the new heart of the city.

Emaar Properties has built a distinct global imprint – taking the development model of creating integrated lifestyle communities from Dubai to the wider Middle East and North Africa, the subcontinent, South Asia, USA and Europe.

Emaar has indeed set upon a remarkable journey, pushing the frontiers, challenging the norms, and forming strategic partnerships. The binding force of the Emaar story, however, is our customers – people who have trusted in our ability to deliver. We have built their world – one where they work, live and play.

We will continue to honour our commitment to our customers – delivering a world-class living environment, where families come together to live; where businesses thrive; where tourists find the right reasons to shop and entertain; where visitors have hotels that are their second homes; and where the best-in-class healthcare is offered.

Emaar not only builds communities; Emaar builds the future.
