Emaar is the developer of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai and the dominant force in UAE residential and retail real estate. Dubai's property market has been a remarkable demand story driven by high-net-worth migration from Russia, Europe, and South Asia following geopolitical shifts. Emaar's backlog is at record levels and gross margins are structurally higher than most EM developers. The Emaar Malls and Emaar Development subsidiaries provide recurring income layers. Valuation trades at a discount to NAV despite a multi-year delivery pipeline.
