Arady Misr is launching Arady Shares, a digital platform that allows investors to purchase fractional ownership of land in Egypt starting from one square metre. The initiative aims to lower the capital barriers for land investment, an asset class that has traditionally required significant capital, by enabling smaller, incremental entries into the real estate market.
The investment model is being developed in collaboration with a leading Egyptian asset management company. According to Arady Misr, the platform will operate through a Real Estate Investment Fund, which remains subject to approvals from the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) and must comply with all applicable national regulatory requirements.
Hamed El Tahhan, Founder and CEO of Arady Misr, stated that Arady Shares is designed to expand access to land investment. El Tahhan noted that for the first time in Egypt, individuals can invest directly in land starting from one square metre, which he said opens access to one of the country’s most valuable asset classes for millions of citizens.
How does the Arady Shares investment model work?
The platform utilizes a fund structure to provide a managed investment framework. Arady Misr says this system incorporates institutional governance, risk management, and defined mechanisms for both investment and exit. The company leverages artificial intelligence, geospatial analytics, and real estate data to identify and select investment opportunities before they are presented to the public.
Once a property is approved for listing, it is offered to investors via fractional ownership. These assets are then presented to real estate developers for potential project development. Investors receive returns based on the appreciation of the land and the profits generated from its development, proportional to their ownership stakes.
For developers, the platform provides access to development-ready land without the requirement of substantial upfront capital for the initial acquisition, according to the company.
What is the process for landowners to list property?
Arady Misr has opened registrations for owners of underutilised land across Egypt to submit their properties through the company website for evaluation. The company stated that every submission undergoes a rigorous due diligence process before being approved for the platform.
This evaluation includes four primary pillars of review:
- Technical and legal audits.
- Planning reviews.
- Investment due diligence and site inspections.
- Highest-and-best-use analysis.
What impact will fractional land investment have on the Egyptian market?
Arady Misr expects the platform to broaden participation in the national real estate market by diversifying the investor base. By unlocking the value of underutilised land, the company aims to increase the overall supply of land that is ready for immediate development.
Landowners can currently submit their properties for evaluation via the Arady Misr website ahead of the official platform launch.
The next phase for the platform depends on the final regulatory approvals from the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) regarding the Real Estate Investment Fund structure.
