Stake, the digital real estate investment platform operating across the Middle East and Africa, has raised $31 million following the closure of a Series B funding round led by Emirates NBD.
The round saw participation from a group of regional and international investors, including Investment Company (through its MENA startup fund), Middle East Venture Partners, Property Finder, STV, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners Limited, and Ellington Properties.
The funding is set to help the platform simplify and modernize access to cross-border real estate investment and ownership through a technology-driven financial platform that connects capital with high-quality real estate opportunities across global markets.
With the closing of this round, Stake’s total funding to date has risen to approximately $58 million.
Commenting on the investment, Neeraj Makin, Head of Strategy, Analytics, and Venture Capital at Emirates NBD, said:
“The bank’s investment through its innovation fund in Stake supports our strategic plans for regional expansion amid the rapid growth of the real estate investment sector and rising demand.”
Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, said:
“Today, we are not merely building a platform; we are laying the foundation for a new era of real estate ownership—one where opportunities are borderless and wealth creation through real estate is accessible to all. What we have achieved today is only the beginning of the vast potential the platform will unlock.”
Saudi Arabia represents Stake’s most important and fastest-growing market, supported by progressive regulatory initiatives and increasing inflows of international capital.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Stake became the first investment platform regulated by the Capital Market Authority to enable investors worldwide to access the Saudi real estate market.
Since then, the company has closed three real estate funds in Saudi Arabia, attracted 6,930 international investors, and deployed more than SAR 416 million into the local real estate sector—directly contributing to the Kingdom’s ambitions to attract greater domestic and foreign investment.
Manar Mahmassani, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, stated:
“Saudi Arabia is a strategic growth engine for us, and this funding round will enable us to strengthen our investment presence in the Kingdom by expanding our local capabilities and scaling our Capital Market Authority-approved solutions in line with growing demand from regional and international investors.”
She added:
“We are committed to being a long-term partner in the Saudi market, contributing capital to high-quality real estate opportunities in alignment with the Kingdom’s vision to open investment opportunities to global investors.”
