Dar Global

Dar Global is the international development business of Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development Company, which Gulf News has described as Saudi Arabia's biggest developer by market value. It was set up in 2017 to develop the group's projects outside the kingdom, and in February 2023 it was admitted to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange through a direct listing rather than a conventional IPO. A pre-listing placement of 12% raised about US$72 million at US$3.33 a share, valuing the company at around US$600 million, and Dar Al Arkan kept 88%. The company describes itself as London-listed and majority owned by Dar Al Arkan.

Its model is branded luxury housing aimed at international second-home and investment buyers. Partners named across its projects include The Trump Organization, W Hotels, Missoni, Pagani, Automobili Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Elie Saab and Fendi Casa. Its own project list covers the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Kingdom and Spain. In March 2026 it reported a return on equity of 17.3% for 2025 and a portfolio gross development value of about US$23 billion, and in April 2026 Emirates NBD arranged a US$250 million syndicated loan for the company.

Dubai is where Dar Global has its delivery record. Urban Oasis by Missoni in Business Bay was completed in 2024 and DaVinci Tower by Pagani in 2025, with handovers under way. Its half-year 2026 results list W Residences in Downtown Dubai and DG1 in Business Bay as under construction, both scheduled for the second quarter of 2027 and both shown as sold out on Property Finder; the D Villas collection at Jumeirah Golf Estates, scheduled for the second quarter of 2028; and Trump International Hotel & Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, an 80-floor tower of about 350 metres whose podium contract was awarded in August 2026, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2031. In Ras Al Khaimah it is building The Astera on Al Marjan Island with interiors by Aston Martin.

For a buyer, the attraction is a listed developer with published accounts and a completed record in Dubai. The caution is that most of its Dubai towers sold out quickly, so the realistic route into several of them is the resale market, and its official website could not be reached by automated checks, which limits how much of its current pricing we can confirm directly.
