It is privately held and chaired by Mohamed Alabbar, who founded Emaar; the two companies are separate, although Eagle Hills uses Emaar's Address and Palace hotel brands in several projects. It publishes no financial statements. Most of its work is outside the UAE. Its model is the large waterfront or city-centre master plan in an emerging market, usually agreed directly with the host government: Belgrade Waterfront in Serbia is the best-known example, and its website lists projects in 17 countries, from Bahrain, Jordan and Morocco to Ethiopia, Georgia and Albania. The deal flow in 2026 has been heavy. In September it signed an agreement for a waterfront and marina development in the Maldives, and on 5 October 2026 a framework agreement with the Syrian government for a residential project in Damascus and a tourism project in Latakia. In the UAE it avoids Dubai and works in the other emirates. In Abu Dhabi it is developing Ramhan Island, a 400-hectare island of waterfront villas with a marina, and a Bvlgari Resort and Mansions on a private island that is scheduled to open in 2030. In Sharjah its projects are Maryam Island, a mixed residential and hotel district created with the Sharjah investment authority Shurooq and announced in 2018, and the Kalba Waterfront mall. In Fujairah it has the Address and Palace beach resorts and Address Residences Fujairah. Its website does not state completion status or handover dates for its UAE residential projects, and we have not found a published payment plan, so both need to be confirmed for the specific building. The wider record includes setbacks abroad: a planned purchase of a large Budapest site in 2025 did not proceed after the city exercised a pre-emption right, and Belgrade Waterfront has drawn sustained local protest over how it was approved. ## Strengths - Led by Mohamed Alabbar, whose record at Emaar includes Downtown Dubai, and able to bring Address, Palace and Bvlgari hotel brands to its projects. - Operating resorts in the UAE: the Address and Palace beach resorts in Fujairah are open and bookable. - Its UAE projects are in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Fujairah, giving buyers hotel-branded resort homes outside the crowded Dubai market. - Used to working with governments as partners, as with Shurooq on Maryam Island in Sharjah. ## Considerations for buyers - Private company with no published accounts, running very large commitments in many emerging markets at once, with new agreements in Syria and the Maldives in autumn 2026. A UAE buyer cannot see how those are funded. - Its own website gives no completion status or handover dates for its UAE residential projects. Establish the construction stage and the registered completion date before paying anything. - Sharjah, Fujairah and island sites in Abu Dhabi have thinner resale and rental markets than Dubai or Abu Dhabi's main islands. Exit may be slow. - The Bvlgari resort in Abu Dhabi is scheduled to open in 2030 and Ramhan Island is a 400-hectare build-out. These are long-horizon purchases. - Some overseas projects have met political resistance or fallen through, as in Budapest in 2025. That is a reminder that announcements and deliveries are different things. ## Notable completed projects - Address Beach Resort Fujairah - Palace Beach Resort Fujairah ## Questions and answers ### Is Eagle Hills part of Emaar? No. Eagle Hills is a separate, privately held company based in Abu Dhabi. It is chaired by Mohamed Alabbar, who founded Emaar, and it uses Emaar's Address and Palace hotel brands in some projects. ### Where does Eagle Hills build in the UAE? In Abu Dhabi (Ramhan Island and a planned Bvlgari resort and mansions), Sharjah (Maryam Island and Kalba Waterfront) and Fujairah (Address and Palace beach resorts and Address Residences Fujairah). It does not currently list a Dubai project. ### Is Eagle Hills a reliable developer? It has experienced leadership and operating hotels, but it is private, discloses no finances, and its website does not give handover dates for its UAE homes. Check the escrow account, construction progress and completion date of the specific project. ## Sources Facts on this page were last checked against these sources on 12 November 2026. - [Eagle Hills official website](https://www.eaglehills.com/) - [Eagle Hills: Our projects](https://eaglehills.com/our-projects/) - [Eagle Hills: About us](https://eaglehills.com/about-us/) - [The National: Eagle Hills to develop residential and tourism projects in Syria (5 October 2026)](https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/property/2026/10/05/abu-dhabis-eagle-hills-to-develop-residential-and-tourism-projects-in-syria/) - [Wikipedia: Eagle Hills Properties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Hills_Properties) --- Source page: https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/eagle-hills.
