Arada Buys 75% of Regal London, Sets Goal for 30,000-Home Pipeline in Three Years

The Sharjah developer is deploying an initial AED2.5bn to scale a rebranded Arada London in a market it views as undervalued.

Overview

  • Deal terms include £230 million for the stake plus a £270 million fund for land and development, with Arada also citing an initial AED2.5 billion ($680 million) commitment across the acquisition and growth.
  • Regal contributes an existing pipeline of about 10,000 homes across 11 London projects and has delivered more than 4,000 units over three decades.
  • Regal’s founders Simon De Friend and Paul Eden, together with the executive team, will remain as the business takes the Arada London name.
  • Arada says scale and centralized procurement will help offset construction cost inflation while accelerating delivery of schemes including Wembley’s Fulton & Fifth and the approved Orchard Wharf.
  • Beyond London, Arada plans a Ras Al Khaimah project next year and reports ongoing discussions with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund on large mixed-use developments.
