ARADA, the well known UAE based property developer, has announced plans to expand internationally into Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Europe.
Known for luxury projects including the Armani Beach Residences on the famous Palm Jumeirah which start at 25 million AED, the company reported an incredible 100% year on year sales increase to 7 billion AED in 2023.
ARADA’s expansion into Saudi positions it to tap into growing real estate opportunities in the Kingdom.
ARADA International Expansion
ARADA, a real estate developer in the UAE, is planning to expand its operations globally as it experiences strong growth in its domestic market.
While the company has already established itself in Sharjah and Dubai, it now aims to enter new markets such as Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Europe.
As Dubai prepares to surpass New York and Miami as the leading city for branded residences, the company is expanding into new territories. This decision also aligns with ARADA’s considerable growth in its domestic market.
ARADA Expansion to Saudi Arabia
According to Rosa Piro, the Senior Business Development Director, this move is part of ARADA’s strategy for further growth.
Piro stated that their focus is now on Saudi Arabia, which they have been closely examining for some time. They have identified promising opportunities in the country and hope to make an announcement about it soon.
ARADA’s Remarkable Performance
ARADA’s remarkable performance was evident in the company’s report of a 100 % increase in sales to AED7 billion in 2023. This surge in sales is in line with the overall trend observed in the UAE real estate market, where Sharjah witnessed a 13 percent hike in property values last year.
Moreover, the market also sees a diverse pool of buyers, including investors from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UK, Germany, and Australia.
According to Piro, “ We always had plans to expand abroad once we solidified our base here in UAE, which is our home country, and we’re looking at Australia, which we also mentioned in the past, and also Europe.”
Although Piro did not reveal the exact details of the European expansion, he did mention that the firm’s CEO had expressed interest in expanding to Italy and the UK.
ARADA’s Success in Dubai
This effort to expand globally coincides with ARADA solidifying its presence in the UAE market. It currently holds the 14th spot in Dubai for branded residence units (approximately 500) and is tied for 10th place in the number of developments alongside companies like Nakheel and Jumeirah.
Dubai is the global leader in branded residences, and its growth strategy aligns with current market trends. The demand for branded homes is on the rise, and according to Piro, Dubai is expected to surpass New York and Miami as the global leader by 2029.
Armani Beach Residences by ARADA
The developer has already seen success in Dubai, launching high-profile projects such as the Armani Beach Residences on Palm Jumeirah.
According to Piro, the product is the best-selling in Palm Jumeirah and stands out from the typical offerings in the area, which features 53 exclusive apartments with prices starting at AED25 million. The homes display luxurious living, with each element designed to provide the ultimate comfort and elegance.
The generous living spaces boast top-of-the-line finishes and fixtures, accompanied by floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing stunning ocean views.
Each unit also includes its own personal balcony, ideal for admiring sunsets or hosting guests. Residents can take advantage of world-class amenities catering to their every need. Take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool, unwind in the Jacuzzi, or bask in the sun on the exclusive beach.
For those who enjoy staying active, a fully-equipped gym and a tennis court are available. Additionally, the on-site spa offers a range of treatments to help individuals relax and rejuvenate.
Aligning with Vision 2030
The company’s expansion into Saudi Arabia aligns with the country’s ambitious Vision 2030 plan to diversify the economy and attract more foreign investment.
This move by ARADA could position them to take advantage of the increasing opportunities in the Saudi real estate market, which is currently on the rise in residential and commercial properties.
Additionally, entering the markets of Australia and Europe would be a significant milestone for ARADA in establishing a truly global presence.
ARADA’s Global Ambition
ARADA’s international expansion reflects its robust growth and ambition to capitalize on global real estate opportunities. With a 100% sales increase in 2023 and successful projects like Armani Beach Residences, ARADA is well-positioned to enter Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Europe.
