London-listed real estate company, Dar Global, has partnered with luxury jeweler Mouawad to launch a SAR880 million ($234.6 million) residential project near the World Expo 2030 in the northern part of the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The development marks Dar Global’s entry into the Saudi market and Mouawad’s expansion into luxury real estate, the company said in a statement.
The project is set for completion in Q4 2026. It will comprise 200 residential villas designed to become one of Riyadh’s most prestigious addresses and to blend the expertise of Dar Global in the field of real estate with Mouawad’s legacy.
Property owners with investments of SAR 4 million ($1.06 million) or more will be granted the Real Estate Owner Residency, a statement from Dar Global said.
This initiative aims to attract international investors and enhance Riyadh’s status as a global luxury destination.
Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global said, “This is a proud moment for Dar Global as we bring our international expertise and high standards of living to the Saudi market. Our partnership with Mouawad, a brand synonymous with diamonds, luxury and artistic craftsmanship, is an embodiment of our shared vision to offer a unique, globally-inspired living experience in Riyadh.”
He added, “We aspire for this project to stand as a benchmark of luxury and elegance, much like the renowned Bulgari Residences. It underscores our commitment to enhancing the Kingdom’s real estate offering with developments that stand at the intersection of modernity, elegance, and timeless design.”
Pascal Mouawad, Fourth Generation Co-Guardian of Mouawad said that, “For more than a century, Mouawad has long been a hallmark of luxury and enduring elegance.”
He noted, “Our collaboration with Dar Global enables us to expand our legacy into the realm of branded residences, infusing our unique identity into prestigious developments around the world. We believe this milestone will set a new standard for luxury living in the real estate market.”
For Dar Global, the project is part of a broader strategy to introduce international luxury standards to Saudi Arabia’s real estate sector.
With a proven track record across the Middle East and Europe, Dar Global is committed to introducing internationally recognized standards of luxury to Saudi Arabia.

Gold breached the $2,700-per-ounce level on Friday for the first time ever, as US election jitters and simmering Middle East tensions boosted safe-haven demand, while a looser monetary policy environment also added fuel to the rally.
Spot gold firmed 0.6% to $2,709.28 per ounce by 0430 GMT and gained 2% this week. US gold futures rose 0.6% to $2,724.50.
Gold could gather further traction given the fluidity of election developments and geopolitical uncertainties, said OCBC FX strategist Christopher Wong.
Hezbollah said it will escalate war with Israel after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Elsewhere, with less than three weeks remaining to cast votes this US presidential election, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump are stretching for the support of every last voter.
"Gold has scoffed at a surging dollar and rallies at every chance it gets. It's just a bull market that shows no signs of exhaustion," said Tai Wong, a New York-based independent metals trader.
US economic data released overnight pointed to a strengthening economy, which boosted the US dollar. But traders still see a 90% chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut in November. The European Central Bank cut interest rates for the third time this year as the euro zone economy sags.
Lower rates increase the non-yielding bullion's appeal.
Bullion will continue to perform well over the long term, benefiting from the precarious fiscal situations of many Western nations, and the global desire for a store of value independent of other assets and institutions, said Ryan McIntyre, senior portfolio manager at Sprott Asset Management.

gold would rise to $2,941 over the next 12 months and silver to $45.
Spot silver rose 0.9% to $31.97 and headed for a weekly gain. Platinum added 0.6% to $997.80 and palladium increased 0.6% to $1,048.55.
