Property Finder, the leading real estate portal in the Middle East, has secured a $170 million investment led by Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company. The funding round also includes participation from another UAE sovereign wealth fund and BECO Capital, highlighting strong regional confidence in the company’s growth and innovation. This new capital injection reinforces Property Finder’s position as a technology-driven leader in MENA’s dynamic property market.


A Strong Track Record of Growth

This latest funding follows a $525 million investment in 2025 led by Permira-advised funds, with notable participation from Blackstone Growth. Combined with nearly $700 million in equity capital and $250 million in debt financing from Ares Management and HSBC, Property Finder has completed one of the region’s largest capital raises. General Atlantic, which first invested in 2018, continues to hold a significant stake, reflecting long-term investor confidence.

Details of the Investment

Under the latest round, Mubadala and the other sovereign wealth fund are each contributing $75 million, while BECO Capital is investing $20 million from its newly launched $250 million Growth Fund I. This marks BECO’s first deployment from the fund and deepens a partnership with Property Finder that began over a decade ago. The investment underscores the alignment of regional and international investors behind Property Finder’s strategic direction and technological innovation.

Innovation at the Forefront

Property Finder has leveraged this momentum to enhance its product suite and expand market leadership across the UAE and broader MENA region. AI-powered solutions such as Credit Optimizer, Home Valuation, and SuperAgent are gaining rapid adoption, while partnerships with Stake and Keyper extend the company’s reach across the real estate lifecycle. The UAE’s supportive regulatory environment and strong property demand provide a solid foundation for Property Finder’s continued growth.

Leadership Perspectives

Michael Lahyani, Founder and CEO of Property Finder, highlighted the significance of the new investment, calling it a testament to the platform’s strength, data depth, and business resilience. He also emphasized the company’s role in fostering a more transparent and technology-enabled real estate market. CFO Jamie O’Mahony added that the addition of two leading UAE sovereign funds enhances Property Finder’s institutional shareholder base and aligns with the UAE’s broader digital economy objectives.

Strategic Support from Investors

Mubadala’s CEO of UAE Investments Platform, Dr. Bakheet Al Katheeri, said the investment reflects the company’s commitment to supporting national champions and scalable technology platforms with long-term regional impact. BECO Capital’s Amer Alaily praised Property Finder for creating tangible value across the real estate ecosystem, noting the company’s alignment with the fund’s mission to back high-growth ventures. The combination of experienced investors ensures continued strategic guidance and financial strength for the company.

Market Outlook and Vision

With the backing of these investors, Property Finder remains focused on simplifying home search experiences, boosting agent productivity, and building a transparent, future-ready real estate ecosystem. Its platform connects millions of property seekers with thousands of real estate professionals daily, empowering informed decisions for buyers, renters, and investors. As Property Finder continues to innovate, it is positioned to lead the region’s real estate market while advancing MENA’s technology ecosystem.


Property Finder’s $170 million investment round highlights the confidence of sovereign wealth funds and venture partners in its growth trajectory and technological capabilities. By combining AI-driven solutions, strategic partnerships, and strong institutional support, the company is shaping a more efficient and transparent real estate sector. This milestone positions Property Finder to remain a dominant force in the MENA property market while supporting the UAE’s ambition to become a global digital economy hub.
