DAR GLOBAL RINGS THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE OPENING BELL AS SAUDI ARABIA REAL ESTATE OPENS TO THE WORLD

Dar Global, the London-listed luxury international real estate developer, marked a defining moment at the London Stock Exchange (LSE) by ringing the opening bell, signalling not only its transition to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category but also the beginning of a new era in global real estate access. As the first Saudi-born company to complete such a move on the LSE’s Main Market, Dar Global now stands at the gateway of a market transformation set to unfold in Saudi Arabia.

In a parallel move reinforcing its Saudi roots, Dar Global has established its global operations headquarters in Riyadh, positioning the Kingdom as the strategic centre of its international expansion. The new headquarters, approved by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia, will manage the company’s global portfolio spanning the U.S., U.K., Spain, Greece, Qatar, Oman and the UAE.

On January 1, 2026, the Kingdom will open freehold property ownership to all nationalities for the first time, unlocking access to one of the largest and fastest-growing real estate markets in the world. With its roots in Saudi Arabia and its financial listing in London, and now its headquarters officially anchored in Riyadh, Dar Global is uniquely positioned to connect global investors to this landmark opportunity.

Within 48 hours of the ceremony, Dar Global’s leadership was in Washington, D.C., participating in the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum and engaging with policymakers and international investors on the future of Saudi’s real estate landscape — reinforcing a shared message across two financial capitals: Saudi real estate is opening to the world, and the world is ready to invest.

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, commented: “The world has been watching Saudi Arabia; now it can participate. Our listing in London and our presence among global investors reflect our mission — to build a bridge connecting international capital to Saudi’s most promising real estate opportunities. When freehold opens in 2026, a new chapter in global investment begins, and Dar Global is bringing it to life.”

This defining moment aligns with Dar Global’s significant expansion in Saudi Arabia, including major land acquisitions and high-profile developments in Riyadh and Jeddah. The company’s growth trajectory has accelerated its portfolio to a Gross Development Value (GDV) of US$19 billion, supported by strategic alliances with global financial advisors such as Rothschild & Co.”.

Dar Global has also partnered with over ten world-renowned luxury brands to deliver distinctive developments around the world, including collaborations with the Trump Organization, Aston Martin, Automobili Lamborghini, ELIE SAAB, Pagani Automobili, Fendi, Missoni, W Hotels, and Marriott Residences. These partnerships underline the strong global confidence in Dar Global’s development model and provide first-mover buyers with lifestyle-led investment options across Saudi Arabia and beyond.

Coinciding with its LSE celebration, Dar Global unveiled ‘Live All In’, its new brand philosophy. The slogan reflects a bold approach to investing and living, offering unique experiences, international standards, and a promise of value without compromise for clients, partners, and investors.

As Saudi Arabia opens one of the most anticipated real estate markets in the Middle East to global ownership, Dar Global’s London-based listing and Saudi heritage place it at the forefront of this transition, enabling international investors to access the Kingdom’s next great real estate story.
