Dar Global History and Establishment

Dar Global was established in 2017, originally as Dar Al Arkan Global Real Estate Development LLC, to develop the international assets of Saudi-listed Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development Company. This parent-company background gives Dar Global access to a longer development track record while operating as a separate international luxury platform.

In 2021, Dar Global launched its first project in Dubai and began expanding into a portfolio of branded residences, hospitality assets, and master-planned destinations. In February 2023, Dar Global PLC was listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, giving the company a direct presence in a major international capital market.

Vision and Specializations

Dar Global’s strategy is built around developing luxury destinations for global citizens and internationally mobile investors. Its model goes beyond conventional residential development by combining homes, hospitality, golf, private members’ clubs, asset management, and emerging real estate technologies.

• Branded luxury residences: through partnerships with names such as The Trump Organization, Aston Martin, Automobili Lamborghini, ELIE SAAB, Missoni, Pagani Automobili, and W Hotels.
• Hospitality and leisure: through hotel, resort, and lifestyle projects in Dubai, Muscat, the Maldives, and other markets.
• Asset management and investment: through DarGlobal Capital Partners, the company’s DIFC-based investment management platform.

This positioning distinguishes Dar Global from local mass-market developers. It primarily serves high-net-worth buyers and international investors seeking scarce, design-led real estate in globally recognized destinations.
