Following the release of its full-year 2025 results earlier this month, Dar Global, a luxury international real estate developer, reported a return on equity (ROE) of 17.3% for the year ended 31 December 2025. This places the Group among the top-performing listed developers across the UK and Europe.
The company attributed this performance to the strength of its operating model, which combines geographic diversification with an asset-light strategy, enabling efficient capital allocation while minimising balance sheet risk.
This approach has facilitated rapid growth, with the Group’s portfolio expanding to approximately USD23B in gross development value (GDV). The period also saw continued entry into strategic markets, the rollout of new development platforms, and the addition of asset management capabilities.
The company noted that this performance enhances its ability to navigate a more complex market landscape, supported by strong liquidity, operational discipline, and the flexibility required to sustain value delivery.
Ziad El Chaar, Chief Executive Officer of Dar Global, said: “We have delivered a sector-leading ROE of 17.3%, underscoring the strength of our strategy and execution. Over the past year, we have expanded our portfolio to USD23B in GDV while maintaining financial discipline and operational efficiency.”
He added: “These results not only reflect our past achievements but also highlight our readiness for evolving market conditions. Our model provides the adaptability, resilience, and capability to continue generating long-term value for stakeholders.”
