In line with its strategy, Depa continues to reduce dependence on both the Dubai market as well as the hospitality sector, the latter by increasingly focusing on refurbishment and infrastructure projects, which are counter-cyclical in a downturn.

The remaining 20 percent of Depa’s backlog consists of 123 projects with an average value of AED 6 million, varying between AED 1 million and AED 25 million.
Depa’s backlog consists entirely of projects that are already at the advanced construction stage. Being at the end of the development chain, Depa typically moves on site to finish the building for occupation and hence, at a stage where the project is extremely unlikely to be cancelled, such as Burj Dubai. Payments from clients have not deteriorated and remain in line with historical practices.
