Record Breaking: Aldar’s First-quarter Profit Jumps 22%

Aldar Properties, the leading real estate developer, manager, and investor in the UAE has reported a 22 percent surge in profit during the first quarter of 2023.

This record growth was supported by the increase in revenue as a result of the rise in property sales. The strong demand from both the local and expat buyers along with the record development in the first quarter supports this growth.

The Q1 development sales worth AED 4.5 billion have boosted the net profit up to AED228 million

The driving forces behind the cross-platform growth are the strong quarterly revenue sales, continued execution of the development revenue backlog, and the increasing recurring income from investment properties. All this reflects the development of the real estate market in Abu Dhabi. 

The revenue of Aldar Properties has increased by 14 percent to a value of AED 3.1 billion during the first three months of 2023 from AED 2.7 billion in the same quarter the previous year.  The company said that the highest-ever revenue backlog of AED 18.8 billion provides them revenue visibility over the following two to three years.

The company plans an expansion of its landbank by attaining the Al Fahid Island which will offer a waterfront to its development pipeline. It has also made an entry into the real estate market of Dubai through a collaborative venture with Dubai Holding.

This new connection will help in the development of three new communities which will be built on 3.5 million square meters of land. 

Aldar Properties has also joined hands with Mubadala for a new venture to develop commercial properties on Al Maryah Island. This initiative takes advantage of the huge demand for prime office spaces in the expanding financial center of Abu Dhabi. 

Talal Al Dhiyebi said that the company has introduced several new residential concepts in Abu Dhabi during the first quarter of the year.

And these concepts gained much popularity among local and foreign investors. The victory of these launches supported the biggest quarterly sales worth AED 4.5 billion.
