Saudi Arabia-based real estate fractional ownership startup Ghanem has secured an additional $1.5 million in funding from real estate companies and strategic angel investors. This latest investment extends its pre-seed round, bringing the total raised to $8.6 million.

The company plans to use the new capital to build on its operational progress and expand its digital real estate investment model within the Saudi market. Noteworthy investors include Al Rumaih Group and Waad Investment Company.

Making Real Estate Accessible

Ghanem's model allows investors to acquire fractional stakes in income-generating properties, with investment amounts starting as low as SAR 1,000. This approach aims to make real estate investment more accessible to individuals who may not be able to commit to purchasing an entire property, offering them a share in tangible assets and potential rental income.

Operational Milestones and Digital Integration

Ghanem has digitally issued fractional ownership deeds to 580 individuals who participated in its first income-generating property opportunity. The company reports executing several real estate opportunities, attracting thousands of registered users, and consistently distributing rental income to investors.

A significant development for Ghanem is its digital integration agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Real Estate Registry (RER). This operational connection enables fractional ownership to be documented and ownership deeds to be issued directly in investors’ names through a smooth digital experience. This integration is crucial for building confidence in the fractional ownership model by ensuring documented investor rights and verified ownership stakes.

Several months prior, Ghanem joined the General Real Estate Authority’s regulatory sandbox, allowing its fractional ownership product to be tested and developed within a structured regulatory environment. The company's CEO and co-founder, Saleh Al-Ghamdi, stated that these achievements form a foundation for improving services and investor experience, with the funding supporting product development, diversification of investment opportunities, and strategic partnerships. All Ghanem products have received approval from its Sharia supervisory committee.
