Emaar Properties recorded a 7% year-on-year gain in net profits by totalling AED1.02 billion in the first three months, helped by gains at both its Dubai and overseas exposures, the company said in a statement on Sunday.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, there was actually a 2% drop during the first quarter.
Revenues were up 26% during the period, at Dh3.013 billion compared with last year’s AED2.39 billion. Apart from incremental launches at its wholly owned developments in Dubai, Emaar is looking to build up a sizeable presence at The Lagoons, with Dubai Creek Harbour (a joint venture with Dubai Holding), and Dubai Hills Estate, in alliance with Meraas Holding.
