News DeskDubai, UAE – Master developer Arada has reported a historic year of performance for 2025, registering a 199% year-on-year surge in sales to reach AED 17.3 billion. The dramatic growth was fuelled by aggressive international expansion and strong demand for luxury developments across Dubai and Sharjah.
The company sold 5,140 homes in 2025—more than double the 2,171 units recorded the previous year—signaling a major shift in scale for the UAE-based developer. This sales volume contributed to a 170% rise in total group revenue, which hit AED 6.7 billion, while earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) jumped 174% to AED 1.6 billion.
Global and Local Expansion
While cementing its status domestically with the launch of Dubai’s Akala—the world’s first precision wellness destination—and the rapid sales of Sharjah’s Masaar 2 and Masaar 3 forested communities, Arada also made significant strides overseas.
In a major move into the British market, the developer committed AED 2.5 billion to acquire a 75% stake in developer Regal (now rebranded as Arada London) and secured an 80% stake in London’s Thameside West mixed-use development. Additionally, following its entry into Australia in 2024, the company submitted its first project applications for Sydney in 2025.
Leadership Commentary
HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, Executive Vice Chairman of Arada, attributed the success to a shared vision with buyers.
“Since launching Arada, our goal has been to build spaces that people connect with for healthier, happier and more meaningful lives,” said Prince Khaled. “Our phenomenal performance in 2025 demonstrates that buyers share our vision and appreciate our track record of delivery.”
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, highlighted that the company exceeded its initial targets. “We achieved extraordinary sales results in 2025, exceeding our AED 15 billion target by more than 15%,” Alkhoshaibi noted.
Looking ahead to 2026, Alkhoshaibi outlined plans to hand over the company’s first homes in Dubai and fully complete the first Masaar master plan, alongside further international expansion.
Construction and Market Context
The developer awarded AED 12.7 billion in contracts last year, including agreements for the Madar Mall in Aljada, Armani Beach Residences at Palm Jumeirah, and the Anantara Sharjah Resort and Residences.
Arada’s growth mirrors a wider boom in the UAE property sector. Data from the Dubai Land Department indicates property sales in the Emirate grew by 29% to a record AED 680 billion in 2025. Similarly, the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department reported a 64% increase in transaction value to AED 65.6 billion.
Since its establishment in 2017, Arada has launched 11 projects and delivered over 10,000 homes. The company currently holds a project pipeline valued at AED 130 billion, covering approximately 55,000 units across the UAE, UK, and Australia.
