Al Habtoor

Al Habtoor Group is a family-owned UAE conglomerate that started as a small engineering firm in 1970 and grew into one of the Gulf’s best-known names in hospitality and real estate. The property arm—Al Habtoor Real Estate (est. 1993)—develops, owns, and operates residential and commercial assets in prime Dubai locations, with selective holdings abroad. The group’s scale and vertical setup (development + ownership + hospitality) help control build quality, shorten decision cycles and support long-term asset value.

Strategically, Al Habtoor pairs destination hospitality with branded living—think Al Habtoor City’s residences and leisure deck—then layers in recurring income from offices and leasing. Internationally, the portfolio extends to Budapest and historically to Lebanon, adding geographic hedge without diluting the Dubai focus.

A current flagship is Al Habtoor Tower, billed as one of the world’s largest residential buildings (81+ floors; 1,700+ units), with sales reported above 90%—a signal of demand depth for view-led, centrally located stock. Execution targets were set at ~36 months, underlining delivery discipline
