The Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) has been seeing an increasing number of listings in recent weeks by real estate investment trusts (REITs), many of which own and manage prime properties in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
Most recently, Jadwa REIT Saudi Fund’s initial public offering (IPO) kicked off on Jan. 3, while Al Rajhi REIT launched its IPO on Jan. 1.
In a report issued last year, real estate consultancy Knight Frank’s Regional Research Manager Raya Majdalani said the successful listings of the first six REITs on the exchange have shown the level of pent-up appetite for income-producing commercial real estate, marking a step further towards a more transparent market.
Argaam has compiled the list of properties owned and planned acquisitions by seven listed REITs.
