Alramz deploys IPO strategy with SAR 2.5 bn Riyadh project

Tadawul newcomer Alramz Real Estate is wasting no time in deploying its IPO strategy, inking an agreement to set up a shariah-compliant real estate investment fund managed by SNB Capital to lead a SAR 2.5 bn residential project in Riyadh, it said in a Tadawul disclosure yesterday. The developer is delivering on its pledge to use around 36% of IPO proceeds to seed real estate funds.

The terms: The agreement structure sees Alramz contributing SAR 105 mn into the fund to develop the Rabwa Alramz project in the Al Safa district. The firm is developing a 219.1k sqm plot owned by Awj Real Estate. In exchange for developing 1.3k units, Alramz secures a 10% development fee and a 2.5% marketing fee on total sales, locking in revenue regardless of the final earnings split.
