As His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, reminds us: “Success is not a destination; it is a journey, and each time you reach a summit, you must look for the next one.” That is why we run faster and harder every single day, to deliver outstanding results and to create value, every quarter, every year, consistently. Transformational growth in challenging times In 2016, we had a robust growth year with net profit of AED 5.233 billion and revenue of AED 15.540 billion. Emaar now has assets valued at more than AED 178.50 billion, and the Group has recorded consistent growth and returns despite operating in a challenging global economic environment. 2016 was defined by several milestone moments. We marked the ground-breaking of the Dubai Creek Tower – a global icon that will add to our nations’ pride; and we opened Dubai Opera, a new cultural icon for the region. We rolled out our first Rove Hotels, a midscale hotel for the new generation of travellers, and we have plans to open 10 new hotels by 2020.
