Track record

Emaar at a Glance

Founded 1997

Emaar Properties PJSC was established in 1997 and has since grown into one of the largest listed real estate developers in the Middle East, trading on the Dubai Financial Market under the ticker EMAAR.

Master developer of Downtown Dubai

Beyond individual towers, Emaar planned and continues to manage Downtown Dubai as a district — roads, public realm, retail and the Opera District precinct that IL Primo sits within, not just the buildings themselves.

A track record beyond residential towers

Emaar's Downtown Dubai portfolio includes Burj Khalifa (the world's tallest building), The Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera and The Dubai Fountain — the landmark cluster that gives the district its international profile.

International footprint

Emaar has also delivered master-planned communities outside the UAE, including developments in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, India, Pakistan and elsewhere, under a broader group structure beyond Emaar Development (its UAE residential development arm).

Portal Insight

Buying into an Emaar-master-planned district carries a different risk profile than buying from a smaller or first-time developer: shared infrastructure, public realm and the wider precinct’s upkeep are managed at the master-developer level, not left to individual building owners’ associations alone.
