Arada Sees Remarkable Growth in 2025: An Overview
Significant Sales Surge
In 2025, Arada experienced an astounding 199% year-on-year sales growth in the UAE, with property sales soaring to AED 17.3 billion. This impressive figure primarily stemmed from strong demand across its established and newly launched projects, especially in Dubai and Sharjah. The company successfully sold 5,140 homes last year, significantly surpassing the 2,171 units sold in 2024.
Enormous Revenue Growth
Arada’s total group revenue skyrocketed by 170%, reaching AED 6.7 billion in 2025. The developer aggressively expanded its portfolio not just in real estate but also ventured into several sectors including hospitality, food and beverage, entertainment, and wellness. As a result, the company reported earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of AED 1.6 billion, marking a notable increase of 174% from the previous year.
New Project Launches and Strategic Milestones
The company achieved several notable milestones throughout 2025. Among its achievements were the launches of cutting-edge projects like Dubai’s Akala, touted as the world’s first precision wellness destination, and Sharjah’s Masaar 2 and Masaar 3, which quickly became some of the fastest-selling projects in the UAE.
International Expansion Efforts
Arada is not just focusing on domestic growth; it is making significant strides internationally as well. The firm pledged AED 2.5 billion to acquire a 75% stake in British developer Regal, which has now been rebranded as Arada London. In addition, they secured an 80% stake in Thameside West, a mixed-use development in London. In pursuit of growth, Arada also took the first steps into the Australian market by submitting project applications in Sydney, following its initial entry there in 2024.
Leadership Insights
Executive Vice Chairman HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud expressed, “Our goal has been to create spaces where people can lead healthier, happier lives. Our remarkable performance in 2025 underlines that buyers resonate with our vision and our reliable delivery. We are excited to develop more projects that can truly uplift people’s lives.”
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, added, “Our sales results have been extraordinary, exceeding our AED 15 billion target by more than 15%. As we move into 2026, we are poised to build on this success through new project launches in our current markets, delivering our first homes in Dubai, and completing our first Masaar master plan.”
Contract Awards and Regional Market Performance
Arada awarded AED 12.7 billion worth of contracts over the past year, with agreements for significant projects including Madar Mall in Aljada, Armani Beach Residences at Palm Jumeirah, and multiple developments linked to Masaar 2.
This stellar performance comes amid a thriving UAE property market. Recent reports from the Dubai Land Department reveal that property sales increased by 29% year-on-year, surpassing AED 680 billion—the highest on record for the emirate. Meanwhile, the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department noted a 64% increase in transaction values, reaching AED 65.6 billion in 2025.

Since its inception in 2017, Arada has launched 11 projects in the UAE and has successfully delivered over 10,000 homes. The company boasts a robust pipeline of both existing and future projects across the UAE, UK, and Australia, amounting to AED 130 billion, with plans for the development of approximately 55,000 units in its communities worldwide.
