Union Properties PJSC (UPP) reported a profit of 5.4 million dirhams ($1.47 million) for Q2 2023, saying it had a steadfast commitment to market transparency, following a troubled period for the Dubai-based developer.

Revenue for the quarter was AED 119 million, up from AED 98.7 million year-on-year.
For H1 2023, the company reported a profit of AED 17.7 million, up from a loss of AED 12.2 million in H1 2022, with revenue of AED 241 million, up from AED 204 million.
The company said in a statement: “The second quarter of 2023 witnessed a surge in demand for properties across Dubai, and Union Properties capitalised on these favourable market conditions to achieve positive financial results.”
