Dubai: Luxury international real estate developer Dar Global announced its audited full-year financial results for the year ending 31 December 2023 on Friday. The firm generated record revenues of $360.6 million (Dh1.32 billion) and posting a significant increase in gross profit to $146.4 million (Dh537 million) at a healthy margin of 41 per cent.
Dar Global’s revenue grew three times, at 351 per cent year-on-year, compared to 2022. Profit before tax stood at $81.2 million compared to a loss of $5.2 million in 2022.
Ziad El Chaar, Chief Executive Officer, Dar Global, commented: “It has been an outstanding year for Dar Global following our successful listing on the London Stock Exchange in February 2023. We have delivered strong revenue growth and a significant increase in profits and we continue to deliver against our ambitious strategy.”
“We have created a unique offering focused on the development of luxury second homes in some of the most desirable locations in the world for affluent, internationally mobile, global citizens. This strategy sets us apart from other developers and enjoys high and sustained demand from a customer base far less exposed to the economic cycle.
