What First Avenue Real Estate Development does

First Avenue Real Estate Development (الجادة الأولى للتطوير العقاري) is a Riyadh-headquartered, closed Saudi joint-stock company founded in 2017 that invests in and develops residential and mixed-use real estate across Saudi Arabia. Its portfolio comprises 15 named, separately marketed projects concentrated in six Riyadh districts (Al-Huda, Al-Qirwan, Al-Diriyah, Al-Muhammadiyah, Al-Nakheel, Al-Malqa) and Jeddah's Al-Shati' district, delivered as off-plan townhouses, apartments, villas, and commercial towers/offices. The portfolio is distributed across four lifecycle stages: 4 sales-launched, 7 fully sold, 1 rental-launched, and 3 fully rented — providing a mix of development-cycle revenue and recurring rental income from completed assets.

The company's core technology is modern and sustainable construction methods combined with innovative development business models structured through investment funds and partnerships with local Saudi banks. It sells units directly to end-buyers via its corporate website (project map and "request interest" form) and its Riyadh headquarters, and it is expanding its land-supply channel through the September 2025 Tanmia (تنمية) program, which offers Riyadh white-land owners joint ventures, investment funds, direct development agreements, and purchase/lease/barter options. Since its September 2024 IPO on the Saudi Exchange's Nomu Parallel Market (8.01% float at SAR 6.00/share, 740.1% covered), the company has also accessed qualified-investor capital markets, with a subsequent 46.34% bonus-share capital increase in June 2026 raising stated capital from SAR 205M to SAR 300M.

Revenue is generated through (i) off-plan and completed real estate unit sales (residential and commercial), (ii) recurring rental income from completed commercial assets such as Jadah Al-A'mal tower and the Labayel commercial centers, and (iii) capital markets activity (IPO proceeds and bonus issues). Customer segments include individual/family residential buyers, commercial tenants in completed assets, qualified investors on the Nomu market, and — via Tanmia — Riyadh landowners of undeveloped plots. The company's primary institutional shareholder is Makkah Construction & Development Co., which acquired a 30.13% stake for SAR 340.9M in August 2024.

Complementing the development portfolio, the Tanmia Program is a partnership-service offering for white-land owners in Riyadh, providing joint-development, fund, and contractual structures to bring new land into the company's pipeline of integrated residential, commercial, and educational projects.
