Core Evaluation

Comprehensive assessment of developer's core competencies

Track Record

Reportage Properties, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, is a UAE-based real estate developer with offices in Dubai, Cairo, Istanbul, Riyadh, Minsk, and Moscow. Since inception, it has designed and planned over 11,000 residential units and developed 33 projects across the UAE, Egypt, Turkiye, Morocco, and Belarus. Their first completed project, Leonardo Residences in Masdar City, was delivered in 2018, achieving a near-complete reservation rate on day one. Sales have grown dramatically, reaching AED 2.3 billion in 2022 and AED 3.7–3.8 billion in 2023—a year-over-year growth exceeding 60%.

Financial Credibility

As a private company, Reportage does not publish public financials but has demonstrated strong sales momentum. Its annual sales grew from AED 165 million in 2020 to over AED 3.7 billion in 2023. In H1 2022 alone, they achieved AED 1.2 billion in sales. The company received awards recognizing it as the UAE’s most trusted developer in 2023, driven by timely project executions.

Project Quality

Reportage’s portfolio spans high-rise and townhouse projects such as Al Maryah Vista, Al Raha Lofts, Rukan Lofts/Tower, Oasis Residences, Reportage Village (Dubai), Montenapoleone (Cairo), Sylvana (Istanbul), Alexis Tower, Villa Bianca, and Verdana townhouses. Projects typically include rooftop pools, gyms, playgrounds, landscaped gardens, covered parking, and smart-home integration. While they position themselves as offering eco-conscious design, sustainability certifications or standards are not consistently highlighted.

Legal & Regulatory Standing

Reportage registers its projects with RERA and DLD, and its sales are escrow-protected once official launch processes are completed. Despite its strong growth, there have been no public legal enforcement actions or fines reported. The company promotes compliance and governance via its listing in awards and exhibitions.

Customer Experience

Public sentiment is mixed. Some buyers appreciate Reportage’s pricing strategy and rapid sales events, with users noting smooth reservation processes. Others raise concerns about poor finishing, late delivery, and sales practices that include non-escrow payments, hidden leasehold clauses, and non-refundable reservation fees—sometimes leading to buyer dissatisfaction.

Market Reputation

Reportage is viewed as a high-volume but emerging developer, with significant recognition such as “most trusted developer in UAE 2023” by International Business Magazine. It is praised for affordable, contemporary housing but criticized by some for quality standards and transparency. Award wins indicate a level of respect among industry bodies.

Innovation & Sustainability

The developer asserts a commitment to eco-sensitive properties, integrating renewable energy and environmental considerations into its designs. However, no third-party green certifications are publicly documented. Its sustainable approaches remain more promotional than independently verified.
