Saudi Arabia’s real estate investment trust (REIT) market provides investors with liquid, exchange-traded exposure to the Kingdom’s property sector at a time of unprecedented construction activity and urbanisation driven by Vision 2030. Listed on Tadawul, Saudi REITs offer dividend-yielding instruments backed by portfolios of commercial, retail, residential, hospitality, and industrial properties across the Kingdom’s major cities and economic zones.

Market Development

The Saudi REIT market was established in 2016 when the Capital Market Authority (CMA) issued regulations permitting the listing of real estate investment trusts on Tadawul. The first REIT was listed in November 2016, and the market has since expanded to include multiple trusts with combined assets under management in the tens of billions of riyals. The market’s development represents a significant step in the deepening of Saudi capital markets and the creation of new investment vehicles aligned with Vision 2030’s financial sector development objectives.
