Real Estate Future Forum 2027

The Real Estate Future Forum (RFF) is an annual gathering in Riyadh that brings together government officials, developers, investors, financiers and advisers from Saudi Arabia and abroad to discuss where the Kingdom's property market is heading. The 2027 meeting is the forum's sixth edition and returns to the Four Seasons Hotel at Kingdom Centre.

Who attends

The forum is built for senior people across the real estate value chain: public-sector leaders who set housing and ownership policy, master developers and contractors, banks and investment firms, and consultants and legal advisers. Previous editions also drew well-known international business and media figures as keynote guests.

• Government and regulatory leaders
• Real estate developers and investors
• Banks, funds and financial institutions
• Advisory, legal and PropTech firms

What's on the programme

Sessions, workshops and keynote talks cover the topics shaping Saudi real estate, from regulation and financing to technology. The forum's site highlights the non-Saudi ownership law, which opened the market to foreign buyers in January 2026, and a dedicated AI Day on how artificial intelligence is changing design, finance and building operations.

• Non-Saudi property ownership and market reforms
• Real estate financing and investment strategies
• AI and PropTech in real estate
• Agreements and partnership signings on the sidelines

Investment Gate and awards

Alongside the conference, the forum runs the Investment Gate, an initiative that connects qualified investors with real estate opportunities, and is linked to Saudi Arabia's Real Estate Excellence Award, which recognises standout projects and companies in the sector.
