FIABCI-Saudi Arabia Launches the Real Estate Excellence Award

Jun 24, 2025 Latest News

The inaugural Real Estate Excellence Award (REA) is poised to celebrate the Kingdom’s most forward-thinking, sustainable, and high-impact real estate achievements, bridging Saudi Arabia’s national vision with global recognition.

Supported by leading government bodies and in association with FIABCI, the world’s foremost real estate federation with over 1M members in over 75 countries, the award reflects Saudi Arabia’s growing leadership in shaping the future of the built environment.

Organized in collaboration with industry authorities, global forums, and strategic partners, the REA sets a new benchmark for excellence—locally and internationally.

The REA, the first of its kind in the Middle East and Africa, positions Saudi Arabia as a global hub for excellence in real estate, offering winners dual recognition: national acclaim through an official announcement at the Real Estate Future Forum on January 27, 2026, and international prestige with automatic eligibility for the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards, held in Vienna in June 11, 2026.

With 20 specialized categories—including Master Planning, PropTech, Green Building, Affordable Housing, and Luxury Projects—the award celebrates diverse achievements shaping the future of real estate in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

“With REA, we’re not just rewarding excellence—we’re helping redefine the real estate landscape across Saudi Arabia and the region. This award serves as a catalyst for innovation, pushing developers, visionaries, and decision-makers to go beyond compliance and embrace ambition. By recognizing those who lead with integrity, sustainability, and bold thinking, REA is setting new benchmarks that will influence how cities are imagined, built, and experienced for generations to come.” — Mr. Abdallah Al Harbi, CEO, Eye of Riyadh

By integrating with FIABCI—the world’s leading real estate federation—the Real Estate Excellence Award advances more than recognition; it introduces a new performance benchmark for the region. REA inspires the sector to raise its standards in sustainability, design, and community impact, while offering a clear pathway from national recognition to global distinction. Its influence is already catalyzing stronger investor confidence, policy alignment, and innovation across the real estate ecosystem—solidifying Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a global force in the future of urban development.

Submissions for the Real Estate Excellence Award close on July 31, 2025. Finalists will be revealed on November 17, 2025, with winners honored at the Real Estate Future Forum on January 27, 2026. These key moments provide strategic exposure and access to a network of global investors, developers, and decision-makers.

Award recipients will earn Gold or Silver distinctions across 20 categories and gain direct access to FIABCI’s international award platform, active in over 75 countries. REA establishes a credible pathway for Saudi projects to compete globally and positions the Kingdom as a serious contender in shaping the future of real estate.
