Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – October 29, 2025 – Aldar Properties has announced another record-breaking performance, highlighting the robustness of the UAE's property market and the sustained investor confidence in Abu Dhabi's real estate sector. The developer achieved a net profit after tax of AED 6.0 billion for the first nine months of 2025. This figure represents a significant 30% increase year-on-year and marks the highest profit in the company's history, even with growing tax obligations.
Revenue for the same period saw a substantial rise of 43%, reaching AED 23.6 billion. This growth was driven by strong returns from nearly all segments of Aldar's diverse portfolio. In the third quarter alone, net profit climbed by 49% compared to the previous year, totaling AED 1.9 billion, a result bolstered by robust property sales and consistent rental income growth.
Commenting on these impressive results, Josh Gilbert, Market Analyst at eToro, stated: “Aldar’s latest earnings are another sign that the UAE’s largest developer is firing on all cylinders. The company’s ability to combine high-growth development sales with a robust recurring income base makes its business model stand out in today’s market. This double-digit growth is a key reason why Aldar’s shares have rallied this year.”
Development Business Leads the Way
Aldar's development business emerged as a particularly strong performer. The company recorded AED 9.1 billion in UAE property sales during the third quarter, its highest quarterly sales figure to date. This success was fueled by high demand for new project launches and the availability of existing inventory. A significant trend observed was the strong interest from overseas and expatriate buyers, who accounted for 77% of Aldar's UAE sales during the first nine months of the year. This underscores Abu Dhabi's increasing appeal as a secure investment destination.
The sustained demand has propelled Aldar's development revenue backlog to a record AED 66.5 billion, providing excellent visibility for future income streams over the coming years. Concurrently, the company's investment portfolio continues its expansion trajectory. Recent acquisitions, including key commercial assets in Masdar City, are already making positive contributions to the overall revenue growth.
Furthermore, Aldar's flagship destinations, such as Yas Mall, have experienced notable growth, reporting double-digit increases in both tenant sales and footfall. These figures reflect the ongoing recovery and strength of Abu Dhabi's retail and tourism sectors.
“What we’re seeing from Aldar is an exceptional balance between growth and stability,” added Gilbert. “The company is executing well on its long-term strategy, boosting property sales while expanding its base of recurring revenues. For investors, this latest report confirms that Aldar’s growth story still has plenty of room to run.”
