Emaar Properties was founded by Mohamed Alabbar. The former chairman was widely involved in tourism and construction before founding the company. He was a director of Al Khaleej Investments in Singapore and even an economic adviser to the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. His indispensable experience has enabled the company to go international and succeed in its biggest projects, such as the Burj Khalifa. Mohamed Alabbar is currently the Managing Director of the company as of 2021. The board now consists of Jamal Bin Theniyah as Chairman and Ahmed Jawa as Vice Chairman. The CEO of the company is Amit Jain.

Emaar Properties is one of the leading property developers in the UAE. Established in 1997 to contribute to the construction sector in the country, the company mainly focuses on the development of luxury properties worldwide. Over the years, Emaar has built a number of residential, commercial and hospitality projects. Despite its international presence, the main location of activity is still the United Arab Emirates, more specifically Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Emaar Properties is listed on the Dubai Financial Market as a Public Joint Stock Company. The company has its headquarters in Dubai.
One of the company’s main objectives to be achieved during construction is environmental sustainability. Emaar’s projects and activities support the UAE’s ‘green vision’ to improve the world’s ecological system. Furthermore, in 2015, the company launched the Emaar Foundation, which aims to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This program supports Dubai Cares, which aims to improve access to quality primary education for children in developing countries. The Foundation also supports the Dream for Future Africa Foundation to ensure opportunity and equality for those most in need in Africa and the UN World Food Programme to fight global hunger.
Over the years, Emaar has been able to reach lofty heights. The company has been awarded the Guinness World Record several times for breaking records. For example, Emaar’s most popular building is the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world at almost 2,722 ft. Construction of the building started in 2004 but it was opened only in 2010. It has 160 floors dedicated to residential purposes. It was named after the ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Burj Khalifa also broke records in categories such as – most floors in a building (163), the highest restaurant in a building (At.mosphere, 1,447ft 10 in), the highest residential apartments (1,263 ft) and largest light and sound show on a single building (1 January 2018).
