Developer Rises From the Desert Dust To Alter the Landscape
Emaar Properties PJSC seemed to rise out of nowhere, much like the Burj Dubai—the superskyscraper it is building in the desert city on the Persian Gulf peninsula it calls home. The developer is only 10 years young, yet it reports an international project portfolio of more than $65 billon, which it says does not include the company’s largest-ever international project in Libya, near Tripoli.
The company has six business segments and more than 60 active companies operating in 36 markets in the Middle East, North Africa, Pan-Asia, Europe and North America. Of its 600 employees, 100 are outside Dubai.
