What happened
Dubai Holding became the largest shareholder in Emaar Properties following a stake transfer from ICD. Separately, Emaar Properties announced a voluntary cash offer to purchase its outstanding stake in its construction arm, Emaar Development, in a potential deal valued at $3.43 billion. The offer is set at 15 dirhams per share, representing a premium to the stock's closing price.

Why it matters
The ownership shift occurs amid regional turmoil linked to the US-Iran war, which has already prompted Emaar's founder to forecast an average 5% fall in real estate prices in Dubai this year. The acquisition and subsequent market activity affect the valuation of major regional real estate firms.
