Dar Global Rings the Opening Bell at the London Stock Exchange

On November 25, 2025, Dar Global, the international real estate developer listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), rang the opening bell, marking a pivotal moment in its corporate journey. This ceremony celebrates the company's transition to the 'Equity Shares (Commercial Companies)' category, making it the first Saudi-founded company to take such a significant step on LSE's main market. This milestone establishes a new avenue for global investment in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding real estate sector.

With the support of the Saudi Investment Ministry, Dar Global has reinforced its Saudi roots by establishing its global headquarters in Riyadh. From this strategic base, the company will oversee its international portfolio, which spans the USA, UK, Spain, Greece, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE, positioning Riyadh as the cornerstone of its global expansion efforts.

Beginning January 1, 2026, Saudi Arabia will open property ownership to all nationalities, unlocking one of the world’s largest real estate markets. With its listing in London and new headquarters in Riyadh, Dar Global is set to connect global investors with this significant milestone in Saudi Arabia’s real estate market.

Following the LSE ceremony, Dar Global’s leadership headed to Washington, D.C., to participate in the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum. Here, they engaged with policymakers and investors to showcase emerging opportunities in the Kingdom. The unified message resonating from both capitals emphasized the growing openness of the Saudi real estate market and its readiness to welcome international capital.

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, remarked, “The world has been watching Saudi Arabia; now it can participate. Our London listing and engagement with global investors reflect our mission to bridge international capital with the most promising real estate opportunities in Saudi Arabia. As property rights are introduced in 2026, a new chapter for global investment begins — and Dar Global is making this possible.”

This achievement aligns with Dar Global’s expansion plans in Saudi Arabia, which include significant land acquisitions and flagship projects in Riyadh and Jeddah. The company’s portfolio has reached a Gross Development Value (GDV) of $19 billion, supported by global advisors such as Rothschild & Co.

In its pursuit of creating distinctive, lifestyle-oriented projects, Dar Global has partnered with more than ten world-renowned luxury brands. This includes collaborations with Aston Martin, Automobili Lamborghini, ELIE SAAB, Pagani Automobili, Fendi, Missoni, W Hotels, and Marriott Residences to deliver high-quality developments that cater to diverse market needs.

As Saudi Arabia embraces a new era of real estate opportunities, Dar Global stands at the forefront of this evolving landscape, ready to attract and leverage global investment for the Kingdom’s burgeoning property market. With its commitment to expansion and innovation, the company is set to redefine the present and future of real estate both locally and internationally.
