Saudi Arabia Sees 185% Surge in Owners’ Association Renewals in H1 2025

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – August 11, 2025 – The Saudi Real Estate General Authority (REGA) has reported a 185 percent increase in the number of renewed Owners’ Association certificates through its electronic portal Mullak during the first half of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

The number of renewed certificates exceeded 635, reflecting REGA’s ongoing efforts to establish a sustainable regulatory environment that safeguards the rights of owners and residents in jointly owned real estate units.

Strong Growth in New Associations

Mullak’s data for H1 2025 shows the formation of 3,600 new Owners’ Associations, covering more than 9,000 listed real estate units. This brings the total number of approved Owners’ Associations to 17,000.

More than 16,000 new members joined during the first half of 2025, raising the total number of registered members on the platform to over 160,000.

Expanding Services and Transactions

REGA noted that total transactions executed via Mullak have exceeded 74,000. These transactions include:

• Property registration and ownership transfer
• Voting on the appointment of association presidents and property managers
• Approving subscription records
• Opening bank accounts
• Issuing and renewing association certificates
• Issuing unified number 700 for registering and approving entities
• Other services to enhance sector regulation and development

Lease Contract Documentation for Common Areas

Property managers in approved Owners’ Associations can now document lease contracts for common areas once investment decisions are approved by association members through Mullak. The contracts are then documented via the Ejar platform.

Role of Owners’ Associations in Saudi Real Estate

In Saudi Arabia, Owners’ Associations are formed by property owners in jointly owned developments to manage shared areas and facilities such as entrances, elevators, and corridors. They play a critical role in preserving property rights, organizing facility management, and promoting a culture of coexistence among residents.

Mullak, launched by REGA, serves as a digital platform to streamline the formation, governance, and management of Owners’ Associations. It provides tools for owners and residents to engage in organized property management, ensuring proper maintenance and fostering community living standards.

With strong growth in renewals, new associations, and digital transactions, Saudi Arabia is advancing toward a more structured and transparent joint property management framework.
