Emaar will offer free repairs after unprecedented flooding in Dubai
Mohamed Alabbar, the chairman of Emaar Properties, announced that the company will cover the costs of repairing all properties within its Dubai communities that were damaged by the recent severe rainfall. This gesture comes as part of Emaar’s response to the unprecedented weather events that affected the area, demonstrating the company’s commitment to supporting its residents and ensuring they can resume their normal activities without undue delay.
Alabbar emphasized that Emaar has always prioritized the well-being of its community, particularly in challenging times, by offering necessary support and services, including comprehensive property repairs. He noted that the repair initiative is intended to alleviate the hardships faced by thousands of residents impacted by the heavy rains.
From the onset of the severe weather on Tuesday, Emaar’s facility management and community management teams have been actively engaged on the ground. They have been working relentlessly, both day and night, to address various issues such as water-clogging and to ensure that the communities remain functional and safe.
Dubai-based Emaar Properties, known as the largest master developer in the emirate, is responsible for several high-profile developments including Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and the iconic Burj Khalifa. With a portfolio that includes approximately 108,000 residential units delivered globally since 2002 and operations in 34 hotels and resorts, Emaar plays a significant role in shaping the urban landscape of Dubai. Furthermore, nearly half of the company’s revenue stems from its extensive involvement in shopping malls, retail, hospitality, leisure, and international markets.
This initiative by Emaar not only underscores the company’s dedication to its clients but also highlights the potential broader implications for Dubai’s reputation as a resilient and supportive environment for both residents and investors in the global tourism and real estate industries.
