Dar Global Capital Partners is exploring a Dubai property investment fund as part of a broader strategy to deploy capital across international real estate markets. The asset management arm of London-listed developer Dar Global also named the parent company’s chief executive, Ziad El Chaar, as its chairman.

Key Takeaways

  • The proposed Dubai-focused opportunity fund is under exploration, not confirmed as launched.
  • The firm’s cross-border investment mandate covers the Gulf Cooperation Council, Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
  • Dar Global says its development portfolio has reached $23 billion in gross development value.

Dubai property investment within a global mandate

Dar Global Capital Partners announced its strategic focus on October 26, 2026. The firm said it would pursue high-conviction investments in Dubai alongside dedicated cross-border mandates covering other international markets.

The potential Dubai real estate opportunity fund is one option the firm is exploring within that mandate. The announcement did not confirm a launch or provide a target fund size.

How the investment platform operates

Based in the Dubai International Financial Centre, the firm operates independently under the supervision of the Dubai Financial Services Authority. It provides asset management and advisory services for sovereign, institutional and high-net-worth investors.

Its stated approach emphasizes entry valuations, structural downside protection and active value creation through repositioning assets and operational improvements.

Chairman appointment and parent company

El Chaar’s appointment as chairman aligns the asset management platform with Dar Global’s international development business. He said the parent company serves investors from more than 125 countries.

Dar Global said it had recently moved to the London Stock Exchange’s Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category and expanded its portfolio to $23 billion in gross development value, a measure of development value rather than reported revenue.
