Saudi Deyaar will be established as a complete real estate solutions provider that covers the entire spectrum of property development - residential, commercial, hospitality and retail. The company will capitalize on the soaring demand for real estate in the Kingdom, while also contributing to the growth of the sector.
Commenting on the joint venture, H.E. Dr. Mohammed Khalfan Bin Kharbash, Chairman of DeyaarDeyaar and UAE Minister of State for Finance and Industry, said, "Saudi Deyaar heralds an exciting phase in DeyaarDeyaar's strategic diversification plan. It assumes even greater significance as it associates DeyaarDeyaar with Arabian Arkan and Ibrahim Abdullah Abunayyan & Brothers, the Kingdom's leading business groups. Besides actively participating in the Kingdom's robust property sector, Saudi Deyaar will provide investors a distinctly wider choice of real estate offerings."
The JV, which is in sync with DeyaarDeyaar's ambitious growth strategy, opens up new and lucrative avenues for DeyaarDeyaar in the Kingdom. It brings together DeyaarDeyaar's immense expertise in developing properties along with the combined expertise and solid reach of its Saudi business partners.
Announcing the new Joint Venture, Abdulelah A. Abunayyan, General Manager, Ibrahim Abunayyan & Bros, stated, "The real estate industry in Saudi Arabia is poised for significant growth and expansion on account of new initiatives and relaxation in real estate laws announced by the government of Saudi Arabia to boost investment in real estate. Real estate development in the Kingdom will be further fueled by demand fundamentals and strong performance of the national economy."
He added, "With the joint expertise of DeyaarDeyaar in property development, Arabian Arkan and our group, this joint venture will soon emerge as one of the leading players of the real estate market."
Demand for housing in the Kingdom is reported at an average of 163,750 units per annum with total new investments in housing set to rise up to SR. 1.20 trillion by 2020. The housing sector is expected to comprise 75% of all real estate activities in Saudi Arabia.
Elaborating on the alliance, Zack Shahin, Chief Executive Officer, DeyaarDeyaar, commented: "As the first initiative in a GCC market outside of UAE, Saudi Deyaar aims to reinforce DeyaarDeyaar's geographical reach in the region. The joint venture will leverage DeyaarDeyaar's prowess in the property business and the strong reputation of Arabian Arkan and Ibrahim Abdullah Abunayyan & Brothers in the Kingdom. The move will place DeyaarDeyaar's growth on the fast track and maximize value for our shareholders and clients."
