Saudi Arabia launches digital business real estate registry portal to enhance efficiency, support property asset management
Key features include transaction management, interactive maps, and personalized support for business entities
Saudi Arabia’s Real Estate Registry (RER) has announced the launch of the “Real Estate Registry Portal – Business,” an integrated digital destination designed to provide comprehensive real estate services to the business sector. This initiative is part of the RER’s Ashal strategy, which aims to strengthen digital infrastructure, achieve sustainable growth, and empower partnerships across all components of the real estate sector.
This step is an extension of the Registry’s ongoing efforts to develop digital solutions for various customer segments. It follows a strategic roadmap intended to expand service scope and enhance the digital experience for companies, real estate developers, and financing entities, ultimately contributing to the digitization of real estate wealth and boosting data reliability within the Kingdom.
Dr. Mohammad Al-Suliman, CEO of the Real Estate Registry, emphasized that the portal’s launch represents a major milestone in the Registry’s strategic priorities. He noted that the focus is on developing an integrated digital ecosystem for managing real estate wealth. The portal serves as a unified, comprehensive destination, providing a seamless and secure experience while allowing business beneficiaries to access automated digital services that increase procedural efficiency and accelerate business cycles.
“This portal aligns with the ambitions of the ‘Ash’hal’ strategy, focusing on digital solutions specifically tailored to the needs of the private sector. It empowers entities to manage real estate assets, rights, and transactions within a technically secure environment, supported by innovative services and high-level analytical reports,” Dr. Al-Suliman added.
Key services provided by the business portal
- Rights & transactions management: Comprehensive handling of real estate records.
- Operations log: Tracking and monitoring all digital activities.
- Interactive maps: Visualizing real estate data and locations.
- Official document access: Digital retrieval of necessary certifications and records.
- System integration: Linking the portal with the internal systems of beneficiary entities.

Digitizing real estate governance
The launch of the Business Portal coincides with a historic regulatory shift in the Kingdom’s property market. On January 22, 2026, the Real Estate General Authority (REGA) officially brought into force the new Non-Saudi Property Ownership Law. This legislation allows foreign individuals and entities to own real estate across various regions of the Kingdom for the first time, provided they use the newly launched “Saudi Properties” digital gateway, which is directly integrated with the Real Estate Registry’s in-kind registration system.
To support this influx of international and corporate investment, the RER has been designated as the “Real Estate Future Partner” for the Real Estate Future Forum 2026, held in Riyadh from January 26 to 28. During the forum, CEO Dr. Mohammad Al-Suliman highlighted that the registry’s digital platform now serves as the “single source of truth” for property ownership data, a critical component for the 300+ global speakers and 140 countries represented at the event who are exploring the Kingdom’s $1 trillion pipeline of giga-projects.
The “Ashal” strategy, which underpins the new portal, is also driving massive technical milestones in data integrity. As of January 2026, the Ministry of Justice and RER have successfully digitized over 180 million legacy real estate documents. This transition from a deed-based system to a modern, title-based “Al-’Ayni” registration assigns a permanent legal identity to every property unit. This digital wealth management is essential for the 71 percent of Saudi CEOs who, according to PwC’s January 2026 survey, anticipate significant revenue growth driven by the maturity of these non-oil sectors.
Catalyzing propTech industry growth
Furthermore, the Business Portal is expected to catalyze a new era of “PropTech” integration. On Wednesday, 2026, Investcorp Saudi Arabia announced a distribution agreement with the real estate investment platform Stake. This partnership allows individual and institutional investors to access institutional-grade real estate via a digital app, utilizing the RER’s reliable data and the Capital Market Authority’s (CMA) progressive regulatory regime to ensure fractional ownership is both secure and transparent.
