What DarGlobal does

DarGlobal PLC is a London-listed (LSE:DAR) luxury international real estate developer, investor, and asset manager operating as the international arm of Saudi-listed parent Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development PJSC. The company develops branded residential, hospitality, golf, and mixed-use assets across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Spain, Greece, the UK, the USA, and the Maldives — a $23 billion gross development value portfolio spanning 16 active projects and approximately 6,100 units under construction as of FY2025. Its core products are co-branded residences and hotels developed under exclusive partnerships with global luxury brands including The Trump Organization, Aston Martin, Automobili Lamborghini, Pagani, Fendi Casa, Elie Saab, Missoni, Mouawad, Marriott, W Hotels, and Nickelodeon, with flagship masterplans such as AIDA in Oman, Rayana and Amaya in Saudi Arabia, and the newly announced MAD district in Muscat.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-UHNWI model with nine global sales offices, an international agent network, and dedicated investor relations targeting buyers from 125+ nationalities seeking second homes, investment properties, and Golden Visa-eligible assets. Revenue is generated through one-time luxury property sales, recurring hospitality operations (hotels, golf clubs, private membership clubs), asset management fees via its DFSA-regulated subsidiary DarGlobal Capital Partners (DGCP), and emerging transaction-fee revenue from a blockchain-based real estate tokenization platform developed with Securitize and World Liberty Financial. DarGlobal reports FY2025 revenue of $539 million (up 124% YoY), EBITDA of $126 million, ROE of 17.3%, and $702 million in cash, with cumulative syndicated debt facilities from Emirates NBD exceeding $440 million to underwrite continued global expansion.
