Community footprint8 communities9 located projectsA spread book: 22% of it sits in Jumeirah Lake Towers. Concentration is a fact about exposure, in either direction, not a verdict.
Listing completeness91%9 off-planShare of five listing facts published across its own projects: price 100%, handover date 100%, unit inventory 89%, payment plan 78%, coordinates 89%. Market 86%. This scores disclosure, not the buildings.

Not measured here: delivery span and cadence; price against neighbours. Each of those needs a base this developer does not reach in the corpus, and a thin number is worse than none.

The scorecard does not measure whether Emirates hands over on time. Every project in this corpus carries one handover date, the date its listing stated when we read it. There is no separately recorded original announced date and no earlier reading of the same project to compare against, so no on-time rate can be computed, and we publish none rather than a proxy. The completions column is also bounded by what the corpus can see: 1,034 of the 1,087 delivered buildings on record handed over in 2020 or later (96%), and the corpus only sees projects that were listed on the portals we read, so an absent completion is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence. Full definitions, queries and limitations: methodology.
