Middle East digital real estate investment platform Stake and property listings portal Property Finder have announced raising fresh funds to expand in the Gulf region.
Stake raises $31m Series B led by Emirates NBD
Stake, a Middle East-based digital real estate investment platform, said it raised $31 million in an oversubscribed Series B round led by Emirates NBD, as the company steps up expansion in Saudi Arabia and pushes cross-border property products.
The round also drew investment from Mubadala’s MENA Venture Capital Fund, Middle East Venture Partners, Property Finder, STV NICE, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, and Ellington Properties, Stake said, taking total funding to $58 million.
Stake, which offers regulated fractional exposure to real estate, said Saudi Arabia is its most immediate growth market after becoming the first platform regulated by the kingdom’s Capital Market Authority to open local property investments to global investors in late 2024.
It said it has since closed three Saudi real estate funds, attracting 6,930 international investors and channelling more than 416 million riyals ($111 million) into the sector.
Beyond the Gulf, Stake said it entered the US real estate market in October 2025 and launched StakeOne, a product aimed at digitising full property ownership and after-sales asset management in Dubai.
Property Finder raises $170m from Mubadala, others
Middle East property listings portal Property Finder said it raised $170 million from Abu Dhabi sovereign investor Mubadala, another UAE sovereign wealth fund, and BECO Capital.
Mubadala and the second sovereign fund will each invest $75 million, while BECO will put in $20 million from its newly launched $250 million Growth Fund I, Property Finder said. The company did not name the second sovereign fund.
The financing follows a $525 million equity investment in 2025 led by funds advised by Permira with participation from Blackstone Growth, Property Finder said.
It added that it has now raised nearly $700 million in equity and a further $250 million in debt from Ares Management and HSBC. Property Finder said General Atlantic, which first invested in 2018, remains a significant shareholder.
Founder and CEO Michael Lahyani said the new backing would support efforts to build a more transparent, technology-enabled real estate market in the United Arab Emirates and wider MENA.
