The emergence of Dubai as an international city cannot be discussed outside the context of vision and ideation of the entire real estate industry, and the leader in that narrative is Emaar Properties. From reinventing silhouettes to establishing successful neighbourhoods, Emaar has always achieved standards of superiority that stretch well beyond the building bonus.
Its projects deliver interactions rather than building–combining luxury, convenience, and community. In this blog, the current and historical role of Emaar in shaping the identity of Dubai as well as developing real estate across the globe will be discussed.
The Origins of Emaar Properties
Emaar Properties was established in 1997 as the answer to the long-term vision of Dubai to become a global city and to be a place of attraction to people around the world. Since its inception, Emaar has made it a point not only to be a developer but also a pioneer whose philosophy centred around creating master-planned communities with innovative integration of lifestyle, retail, leisure, and entertainment.
In perfect line with the fast development of the economy of Dubai and the goals of emirate leaders, Emaar soon established itself as an active participant in the formation of the image of the emirate on the world map of real estate.
