Investors have until 5 July to file prequalification applications under the Sports Clubs Investment and Privatization Project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A spread across the divisions: <\/strong>Al Riyadh, Abha, and Ahsa-based Al Fateh play in the Saudi Pro League, while Hail-based Al Tai sits in the First Division and Kharj\u2019s Al Shoulla sits in the Second. All five cleared the regulatory steps and reached the \u201creadiness stage\u201d for offering, the ministry said, adding that it is matching each club\u2019s readiness against the seriousness of would-be buyers rather than rushing clubs out the door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The momentum is there:<\/strong> Expressions of interest (EOI) stay open on a rolling basis, and a deal takes 8-10 months to close once a buyer surfaces. More than 80 EOIs are now registered across 22 clubs, evidence of fast-building appetite from both local and international money, according to the ministry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That tallies with what officials are telling investors abroad:<\/strong> The government has completed transactions on 11 clubs with two more in the works, Ibrahim AlMoaiqel, assistant deputy minister for investment and privatization, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.agbi.com\/business-of-sport\/2026\/06\/saudi-arabia-lining-up-football-club-sales-within-months\/\" style=\"\">told the Middle East Sports Investment Forum<\/a> in London last week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Two transactions are close to the line: <\/strong>Negotiations over Al Najma and Al Akhdoud are underway, with contract signing and an ownership-transfer announcement to follow. The privatization of Al Akhdoud stalled last year after interested investors failed to meet the requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More is coming: <\/strong>\u201cWe intend to bring more clubs to the market over the next few months,\u201d AlMoaiqel said. His pitch to buyers is to get in early, likening the moment to the run-up to Major League Soccer\u2019s value surge before the 2026 World Cup in North America.

Meanwhile, office rents in Riyadh were up 3.5% y-o-y. The demand profile is increasingly concentrated among technology companies, which accounted for 53% of new office requirements during the quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>Secondary markets pick up the slack:<\/strong> The premium supply squeeze is forcing tenants to look outside Riyadh. Jeddah\u2019s Grade A occupancy holds a tight 94%, while Dammam's market has split into two halves. Top-tier assets in Dammam are operating at 91% occupancy, but older Grade B buildings are struggling to retain tenants due to a lack of modern infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>A slight easing is on the cards: <\/strong>Despite around 560k sqm of new office supply due this year and more than 1.5 mn sqm planned by 2028, CBRE MENA research head Matthew Green does not expect Riyadh\u2019s office market to loosen significantly, he tells EnterpriseAM. While rental growth and occupancy are likely to moderate, they should remain \u201cin a healthy range\u201d due to continued demand from domestic occupiers and companies relocating under the RHQ program. \u201cWe have already seen the trend of aggressive growth start to moderate in recent quarters,\u201d he says, adding that the trend is likely to continue as economic growth softens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>The bigger risk for developers may be execution.<\/strong> Rising construction material costs, higher transportation and ins. expenses, shipping disruptions, and longer delivery times for imported materials are all compressing development margins and increasing the risk of delays, Green says. Even so, projects completing over the next 12 months are still expected to enter a structurally undersupplied market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Housing downsizes, rent surges<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>Trading the mansion for a studio:<\/strong> The residential sector is adjusting as 1Q transaction values dropped 4.5% y-o-y. High land costs and a cautious market have buyers walking away from large villas and opting for smaller high-liquidity apartments in the SAR 300k-500k range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>The trend is more than just financing conditions. <\/strong>\u201cThe increasing demand for apartments, particularly those in the more affordable space, likely reflects partly the point in the market cycle following a period of price growth,\u201d he says. He also points to growing investor activity, with both domestic and foreign buyers increasingly targeting smaller, higher-yielding units as buy-to-lease investments. Developers, meanwhile, are expanding their focus on affordable apartment projects to appeal to younger buyers and first-time homeowners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>The rental market is faring better.<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/momah.gov.sa\/en\/node\/6738\" style=\"\">Ejar<\/a> lease contracts rose 37% in February, supported by growing numbers of professionals relocating under the RHQ program. While average rents in Riyadh declined 2.1% in March, Green attributes much of this to the September 2025 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/09\/28\/riyadh-will-be-rent-hike-free-for-5-years-with-exceptions\/\" style=\"\">rent-freeze regulations<\/a> which have primarily affected owners of existing leased assets. Landlords with legacy rent profiles \u201cno longer have the ability to raise rents in line with the market\u201d when contracts expire, he says. New projects, however, have enough flexibility to set rents at or above prevailing market levels before leasing begins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">In the industrial space<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>Shipping headaches make warehouses expensive:<\/strong> Maritime bottlenecks have forced cargo re-routing and squeezed logistics margins, but warehouse real estate isn\u2019t slowing down. A lack of premium space, paired with government mandates to stockpile essential goods, has sent rents climbing. Warehouse spaces in Riyadh East saw a 21.8% y-o-y rent jump, while Jeddah East retained its position as the premium industrial corridor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>The shortage of modern industrial space has triggered a wave of partnerships aimed at accelerating development<\/strong>, Green says. He points to AG Logistics Partners \u2014 the joint venture between Artar and Germany\u2019s Garbe Industrial \u2014 as well as the partnership between Saudi Aramco, DHL Supply Chain, and Arcapita to develop a 1.4 mn sqm logistics facility at Spark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Retail clicks and staycation safety nets<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:0pt;margin:0;padding-left:0;padding-bottom:2pt;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left;padding-right:0\"><strong>Traditional malls are changing into entertainment hubs as online shopping gains ground,<\/strong> with digital transactions hitting 85% of total retail payments. Brick-and-mortar retail is surviving on local food, beverage, and fashion spending. While mall rents have remained steady, a wave of supply is still inbound when The Avenues and Westfield pipelines drop over 200k sqm of new retail and office space into Riyadh and Jeddah this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Looking ahead<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The next challenge is operations, not construction. <\/strong>As the real estate market matures, tenant expectations around property management and maintenance are rising, particularly among government entities and multinational occupiers, Green says. With a wave of new supply due by 2030, \u201cthe winners and losers in the Saudi market are likely to be defined by those that can firstly deliver a high-quality product, but then also maintain that same level of quality standard and customer service through the operational phase of the asset,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/cbre\/\">CBRE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/real-estate\/\">Real Estate<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"109827 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"109827\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/09\/109827\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-109827\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-109827 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasheelfinance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/12\/1942.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"109828\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"109828\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">M&amp;A WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/09\/ninja-mulls-bid-for-delivery-heros-middle-east-portfolio\/\">\r\n                            The Ninja and the Hero                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/09\/ninja-mulls-bid-for-delivery-heros-middle-east-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

DoorDash has also been circling the Middle East arm of the German-born delivery platform and major shareholder Prosus is considering a bigger stake, further complicating the deal landscape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But Ninja\u2019s founders bring history to the table.<\/strong> One of its founders, Ebrahim Al Jassim, helped establish HungerStation, while another, Canberk Donmez, previously held executive roles at Delivery Hero.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What sets Ninja apart: <\/strong>Ninja operates a network of dark stores dedicated to online retail, focusing on groceries and household essentials rather than restaurant food delivery, unlike Talabat, HungerStation, Uber, and DoorDash.

Monthly software transaction value fell from USD 24 bn in January to just USD 5 bn in May after Anthropic\u2019s launch of new AI productivity tools rattled the sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That uncertainty is weighing not just on acquisitions, but also on the financing that supports them.<\/strong> Software's share of LBO-related issuance has also fallen, to 17.5% from 34.5% last year \u2014 another sign that lenders and sponsors are becoming more cautious about backing the sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The core problem is valuation: <\/strong>\u201cUntil an investor knows what a business may be worth post-AI adoption, it\u2019s impossible for them to make a case to their investment committee,\u201d Arma Partners\u2019 Paul-No\u00ebl Gu\u00e9ly told the salmon-colored paper. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That is leaving software as one of the market\u2019s \u201chave-nots<\/strong>,\u201d in the words of PGIM Credit's Engin Okaya, as investors grow more selective about where they deploy capital. Healthcare, by contrast, has overtaken software as the largest source of institutional loan issuance for the first time since 2015, accounting for 14% of volume this year. Investors are showing much more confidence in sectors seen as less exposed to AI disruption, Latham & Watkins' David Walker told the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asia-Pacific markets rebounded in early trading <\/strong>after Iran and Israel said they would press pause on launching any further attacks against each other.
