Dubai: Deyaar net profit before tax jumps 31.6% in first half of 2025
Deyaar Development , an integrated real estate leader in Dubai, on Thursday announced that first half net profit before tax rose 31.6 per cent to Dh266.6 million. Total revenue climbing 39.2 per cent year-on-year to Dh925.4 million in H1 2025, compared to Dh664.4 million in the same period last year. This performance is driven by the increasing confidence of investors and the strong demand observed in Dubai's real estate market, in addition to the company's high efficiency in project execution. Earnings per share jumped 33.1 per cent to 5.74 fils, from 4.31 fils in H1 2024 and revenue from other businesses also increased by 6.3 per cent, reaching Dh170 million in H1 2025, as compared to Dh159.1 million in H1 2024. In addition, net profit before tax for Q2 2025 amounted to Dh146.8 million, a significant growth from Dh125.1 million in Q2 2024. Deyaar's strong financial performance comes on the heels of strategic project launches across the UAE, including the February debut of AYA Beachfront Residences in Umm Al Quwain – the real estate leader's first residential venture in the northern emirate – and the ambitious Downtown Residences in Dubai, poised to be one of the UAE's tallest residential communities. Saeed Mohammed Al Qatami, CEO of Deyaar Development, said: 'We have achieved strong results during the first half of the year and successfully launched remarkable projects. Additionally, we have capitalised on emerging opportunities across the UAE. We have successfully expanded Deyaar's strategic investments in high-potential locations, yielding significant returns and delivering exceptional value to our stakeholders.' 'By leveraging our focused vision and effective execution strategy, we aim to continue our journey of growth by adopting a strategy focused on creating added value for all stakeholders, founded on gaining the trust of investors for the long term. We remain optimistic about our outlook for the second half of the year, confident that our proactive strategies and robust project pipeline will further reinforce our financial stability and unlock additional value for our stakeholders.' As Deyaar expands its strategic investments in high-potential locations, the company anticipates the handover of five major projects in the second half of the year. With approximately 2000 units, these developments are expected to significantly enhance liquidity and contribute positively to the overall financial stability. Deyaar's robust pipeline is set to support revenue generation and operational efficiency, reinforcing its competitive edge in a market characterized by strong end-user demand and heightened interest from global investors. The underlying strength of the UAE economy, supported by pro-growth policies and a business-friendly environment, bolsters confidence in Deyaar's growth trajectory.

Emirates Flight Catering breaks ground on $44mln laundry facility
UAE - Emirates Flight Catering has broken ground on a new AED 160 million ($44 million) laundry facility at Dubai Investment Park, marking an expansion of its laundry services arm, Linencraft. The move comes in response to soaring demand across the UAE's hospitality, aviation, and healthcare sectors. The new site will increase Linencraft's operational capacity by more than 50 per cent, enabling it to onboard 40 new hospitality clients and create 400 direct jobs. Purpose-built for scalability and resilience, it integrates next-generation laundry equipment with advanced automation that enhances efficiency, reduces manual handling and supports consistent high-volume output. The facility's design includes built-in redundancies across key processes to ensure uninterrupted operations, even during peak demand. At the same time, it incorporates energy-efficient systems to minimise environmental impact. The expansion comes at a pivotal moment for the UAE's commercial laundry sector. With over 10,000 new hotel rooms expected by 2027, major international events on the horizon, and Dubai Airport's expansion underway, demand for large-scale laundry services is set to rise sharply. In parallel, staff uniform and institutional laundry needs are also growing steadily across both public and private sectors, further driving the need for increased capacity and innovation. Shahreyar Nawabi, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Flight Catering, said: 'Linencraft has long set the benchmark for quality and reliability in the UAE's laundry sector. This bold investment reflects both the scale of opportunity we see in the market and our determination to lead the industry forward. With this advanced facility, we're not just increasing capacity - we're setting new standards through smart technology and a sharp focus on sustainability.' Linencraft's new facility is being delivered by ASIA Prime, a leading UAE-based general contracting and construction management firm. Waddah Basmaji, Managing Director of Asia Prime General Contracting said: 'At Asia Prime, we take immense pride in partnering with Emirates Flight Catering on Linencraft's new facility. This groundbreaking marks more than the beginning of construction, it symbolises our commitment to quality and delivering beyond expectations. Our focus is to ensure Emirates Flight Catering's complete satisfaction by upholding the highest standards throughout every phase of the project. We are honoured to play a part in their continued growth and operational excellence.' Linencraft's new facility will add 150 tonnes of daily capacity to its existing network, which currently processes 280 tonnes per day across four locations. It will include two modular hospitality bulk laundry units with a combined capacity of 142 tonnes per day, and a dedicated garment plant capable of handling over 28,000 pieces daily.
