A major milestone in the company’s goal to democratize access to real estate investing across high-growth regions in the Middle East has been reached, as real estate finance platform Stake announced that it has crossed AED 1 billion in property transactions since its start in 2021.
With more than a million users from more than 210 countries and 210 different nationalities, Stake is revolutionizing real estate investing. In Dubai alone, the platform has enabled over 250,000 individual investments across more than 420 properties, demonstrating the huge demand for fractional ownership models in the vibrant local real estate market.
Stake, which has offices in the DIFC and in the center of Riyadh and is licensed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), provides easy, transparent, and Shariah-compliant investment possibilities in excellent real estate, with entry points as little as AED 500. The business has established itself as a starting point for foreign investors wishing to get involved in the UAE real estate market.
By entering the Saudi Arabian market in 2024, Stake broadened its regional reach and became the first platform overseen by the Capital Market Authority (CMA) to allow non-Saudi investors to engage in real estate. Stake attracted more than SAR 135 million in foreign direct investment from investors in more than 70 countries when it created three private real estate funds in Riyadh in only five months.
These programs promote economic diversification and provide access to the Kingdom’s real estate market, which directly advances Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
“Surpassing AED 1 billion in transactions is a pivotal milestone for Stake, but we are just scratching the surface,” said Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake. “We have democratised access to prime and high-growth real estate markets like Dubai and Riyadh – opportunities that were once reserved for institutions – and there’s more to come. We have exciting product launches coming over the next 6 months that will drive more investor participation into both markets.”
Manar Mahmassani, Co-Founder and Co-CEO said, “This achievement is a testament to the global appetite for real estate as a wealth-building asset, and to our commitment to unlocking it with full transparency, regulatory alignment, and investor-first innovation.”
Supported by prominent investors such as MEVP, Wa’ed Ventures of Aramco, Republic, Mubadala Investment Company, and Al Jomaih Holding, Stake has amassed a portfolio of over 420 assets and is still at the forefront of innovation in the digital real estate investment sector.
