Aldar Reports 25% Q3 Net Profit Jump, Announces Dubai Project Launch and Sharjah Expansion

Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer, Aldar Properties, reported a 25% increase in net profit for Q3, reaching AED 1.9 billion, driven by new project launches and revenue growth.

Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi's leading listed developer, announced a 25 per cent year-on-year increase in net profit for the third quarter, reaching AED 1.9 billion (USD 517.3 million) for the period ending September. The company's revenue and rental income also saw a significant rise, growing by 16.4 per cent to AED 9.3 billion.

The profit surge comes amidst an active expansion strategy for Aldar across the UAE. This includes a recent agreement to acquire over 1,100 homes in Sharjah from Arada for AED 1.1 billion, marking Aldar's first investment in the emirate. This acquisition covers nine buildings within three residential blocks at Arada’s Aljada development, with delivery projected for the fourth quarter of 2029.

This Sharjah deal follows a AED 15 billion development partnership announced last month between Aldar and Arada, focusing on new projects near the Abu Dhabi-Dubai border.

Looking ahead, Aldar Development's CEO, Jonathan Emery, confirmed plans to launch a major new development featuring villas and townhouses in Dubai by the end of this year, further solidifying the company's nationwide growth strategy.
