Blackstone, Permira Pour $525M into Property Finder, Accelerating Digital Transformation in Regional Real Estate

September 11, 2025

Dubai based Property Finder has secured a landmark $525 million investment from global private equity giants Blackstone and Permira, a move that underscores rising international confidence in the Middle East’s digital real estate sector.

The fresh capital injection is expected to accelerate Property Finder’s technology development and regional expansion, with a particular focus on deploying AI-driven solutions to enhance user experience and market efficiency.

The deal comes as General Atlantic, a long-time backer since 2018, partially exited its position while retaining a minority stake. This strategic reshuffling provides Property Finder with not only capital but also access. 

While company specific valuations remain closely held, industry analysts point to sustained growth momentum in MENA Prop-tech. According to sector reports, regional digital real estate platforms are expected to grow at an annual rate of 12–14% over the next five years, driven by rising demand for data led property transactions and Dubai’s positioning as a hub for innovation.

This deal adds to a broader pattern in recent years, Dubai has consistently attracted blue-chip international capital across infrastructure, logistics, and now Prop-tech reinforcing its role as a bridge between global investors and regional growth opportunities.

The Blackstone-Permira partnership with Property Finder signals not just a single company milestone, but a maturing of Dubai’s digital real estate ecosystem. For investors, it is a reminder that Prop-tech in the Gulf is moving from niche to mainstream where capital, technology, and policy are converging to define the next growth cycle.
