COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development Company built its expansion on the back of a construction boom in the Gulf region’s top oil exporting nation.

Catering mainly to the middle-class market, the company is involved in an array of real estate developments spanning the Kingdom.

But the largest Saudi developer by market value posted its lowest quarterly profit growth in the three months to Dec 31, 2008. It made a $115.5m profit, up 2.6 percent from a year earlier but down by almost 40 percent from the third quarter, the firm said.

The company blamed the weak annual growth in fourth-quarter profit on the seasonal nature of the business, rather than the global liquidity crunch.

A shortage of housing in the Kingdom should provide the firm with opportunities for future growth. Dar Al Arkan raised $888m in an initial public offering in December 2007 that was more than three times oversubscribed.
