Dubai’s Property Finder receives $170m from Mubadala

• New equity funding round
• Follows two other sizeable injections
• Will support product development

Dubai-based portal Property Finder has raised $170 million in new equity funding led by Abu Dhabi sovereign investor Mubadala Investment Company, extending a run of sizable capital injections into the business.

The investment follows a $525 million round led by funds advised by Permira in 2025 and comes alongside $250 million in debt financing secured from Ares Management, underscoring sustained investor appetite for the region’s dominant online property platform.

Property Finder said the latest funding round, which also saw participation from another UAE sovereign wealth fund and early backer BECO Capital, would support product development, artificial intelligence tools and regional expansion. 

The company has positioned itself as a technology-led platform spanning property search, valuation and financing tools across the Middle East and North Africa.

• Property Finder to expand after $525m in new funding
• State of the market: Dubai property in depth

Founded in 2007, Property Finder has benefited from strong conditions in its core UAE market, where property demand has surged since the pandemic. Dubai, Property Finder’s largest market, had another strong year for real estate in 2025. 

Residential and commercial sales reached AED686.8 billion ($187 billion) last year, up almost 31 percent year on year, according to Dubai Land Department data. Transaction volumes rose nearly 19 percent.

Jamie O’Mahony, chief financial officer of Property Finder, said in an emailed statement: “The addition of two leading UAE sovereign wealth funds further strengthens Property Finder’s institutional shareholder base and aligns the company even more closely with the UAE’s national agenda to build a world-leading digital economy.”
