Ghanem Company launches fractional ownership platform in Saudi Arabia under REGA sandbox
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – January 30, 2026 — Ghanem Company announced the launch of fractional ownership for real estate in Saudi Arabia under the Real Estate General Authority (REGA) regulatory sandbox to broaden access to regulated investments. The platform enables eligible Saudi investors to purchase officially registered fractional shares in income-generating properties through a fully digital process, advancing PropTech amid the Kingdom’s real estate reforms.
Overview
Ghanem integrates fully with the Real Estate Registry, recording ownership transparently per regulatory standards. The product rolls out in phases inside the sandbox for supervised testing before wider release. No specific transaction volumes or property values were disclosed. The company previously secured $7.1 million in seed funding from Al-Romaih Group in November 2025 to build its platform.
Stakeholder Perspective
“Launching fractional ownership under the REGA Sandbox is a major milestone for Ghanem and the Saudi real estate sector. Our full integration with the Real Estate Registry allows us to deliver a transparent, secure, and fully regulated investment experience.”
— Saleh Waheed Al-Ghamdi, CEO at Ghanem Company
Why it matters: The integration builds trust in digital real estate assets by lowering entry barriers from full-property costs to fractional ownership units.
Industry Context
Saudi Arabia’s REGA sandbox is spurring PropTech innovation across the Kingdom, including tokenization initiatives and competitors like Madak operating in the same regulatory environment. The framework aligns with Vision 2030’s financial inclusion objectives, transforming real estate investment from an elite asset class to a retail-accessible opportunity through fintech infrastructure.
Regionally, this positions Saudi Arabia ahead in MENA’s fractional ownership race, potentially boosting market liquidity and investor diversification. The move addresses the Kingdom’s $60 billion-plus real estate market by creating new participation channels for retail investors previously excluded by capital requirements.
Conclusion
Post-sandbox expansion could surge retail participation and reshape investment dynamics across Saudi Arabia’s real estate sector as regulatory approval progresses beyond the testing phase.
