The initial public offering (IPO) of Saudi Arabia's Asas Makeen Real Estate Development and Investment Company has been oversubscribed by more than 19 times, as investors capitalise on the kingdom's real estate boom.
The offering, which ran from May 19 to 25, 2025, received bids for nearly 19.5 million shares, raising a total of more than SAR 1.56 billion ($415 million), according to Yaqeen Capital, the financial advisor and lead manager for the IPO.
The company had offered a 10% stake or one million shares on the Saudi Stock Exchange Parallel Market Nomu, with the offering price set at SAR 80 per share.
The listing of the company's shares on Nomu will be determined after the required procedures with the Saudi Stock Exchange are finalised.
The Saudi real estate market has demonstrated strong momentum, with transaction volumes reaching $29 billion during the first three months of the year, according to CBRE Middle East.
The growth has been supported by government initiatives and heightened investor confidence.

Saudi SALIC eyes investment opportunities in Russia
Saudi Arabia's agricultural and livestock investment firm SALIC is studying investment opportunities in Russia but sees more value in helping to market Russian wheat globally, the company's CEO Sulaiman Al-Rumaih said on Friday. "We are in serious discussions about certain prospects. For us it is the question of time," Al-Rumaih told a grain conference in the city of Sochi in southern Russia. Al-Rumaih stressed that Russian supplies account for about 50% of Saudi Arabia's total wheat imports, which showed that Russian firms were very competitive and could, with help from SALIC, boost exports to more Middle Eastern and African markets. "I think we will be more beneficial (for Russia) as conduits of Russian grain to the global market," he said. (Reporting by Olga Popova, writing by Gleb Bryanski; editing by David Evans)
