Rapid Expansion Amid Global Challenges

During a period marked by global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Stake launched in the dynamic UAE real estate market. Starting with a single Prescribed Company (PC), also known as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), Stake has impressively expanded to manage 115 PCs in just three years. This growth not only highlights Stake’s rapid expansion but also sets a record in the MENA region for fractional real estate investment.

Understanding Stake’s Innovative Investment Model

PCs at Stake, registered under the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), are tailored to own specific properties, linking investors to fractional real estate shares. From its inception on February 14, 2021, Stake has grown into a vibrant community of over 10,000 active investors. Each investor holds a fraction of property through Stake’s platform, ensuring democratized access to real estate investment.

Stake’s Milestones in 2023

Throughout 2023, Stake’s growth trajectory has been remarkable. Initially setting up 1-2 PCs monthly, the company has accelerated to an average of 10 PCs every month. This expansion reflects Stake’s robust platform and operational excellence in facilitating real estate investments.

Investor Confidence and Documentation

Upon full funding of properties, investors at Stake are furnished with two critical documents:

  • Share Certificate: Registered under the SPV’s name with DIFC, affirming the investor’s fractional ownership.
  • Title Deed: Issued by the Dubai Land Department, it serves as undeniable proof of ownership.

A Landmark Achievement

In September 2023, Stake achieved a monumental milestone by registering 1,118 investors under a single SPV, making it the largest group for any single SPV since Stake’s inception. The associated property was valued at approximately AED 4.5 million, showcasing the substantial trust and confidence investors place in Stake’s platform.

Benefits for Stake Investors

Stake’s continual growth provides numerous benefits for both seasoned and new investors:

  • Diverse Investment Options: An expanding portfolio offers more choices for investment.
  • Potential for Second Income: Investors enjoy returns from substantial rental yields.
  • Assured ROI: Stake has distributed almost AED 7 million in rental income, providing steady monthly returns to its investors.

Leading the Way in Fractional Real Estate Investment

As Stake continues to pioneer the fractional real estate investment model in the MENA region, it remains dedicated to enabling access to real estate for a broader audience. With a portfolio valued at over AED 200 million, Stake is not just facilitating investment; it’s revolutionizing how people invest in real estate.
