"Emaar’s performance in 2019 was resilient, maintaining growth within a challenging market. Emaar’s sales achievements in 2019 are a testament to the products and people behind these innovations. Each year we set the bar higher, raising expectations across the business to ensure Emaar maintains the level of excellence the brand is synonymous with," said the top official.
"Optimizing resources, improving efficiency and maximizing our productivity has directly contributed to enhancing our performance and positively impacted our results," he added.
According to him, Emaar's main focus was to bring the best talent to achieve its goals consistently.
"Our resources are focused on enhancing our customer happiness while providing superior results to our shareholders. We are also implementing new digital initiatives which will significantly enhance the value of our properties and assets to our customers whilst enabling us to innovate through new products and services," he stated.
To date, Emaar has handed over more than 63,000 residential units in Dubai and other international markets, said Alabbar.
More than 30,000 residences are under development in the UAE and over 14,000 units in global markets. Emaar now has a total sales backlog of Dh45.795 billion ($12.468 billion) of which Dh33.736 billion ($9.185 billion) is in UAE, to be recognized as revenue in the coming years, he noted.
