Acquisition follows a $120 million investment by General Atlantic in Property Finder in November 2018

Property Finder, the leading real estate portal in the MENA region, has recently acquired Bahrain Property World, a pioneering property portal in Bahrain.
The Group has been operating through Propertyfinder.bh in the Bahrainmarket for over five years, making its foray into the country in 2013.
This acquisition comes a few months after Property Finder raised $120 million in funding from private equity firm General Atlantic in November 2018.
Michael Lahyani, CEO and Founder of Property Finder Group, said: "This is one of three high-powered strategic moves since closing our latest round of investment led by General Atlantic. The first being the increase in our share in Turkish portal Zingat, and our recent acquisition of UAE competitor JRD Group. We are very happy to further instill our confidence in the Bahrainregion and continue to invest in a market in which we see a lot of potential and have been present since 2013."
Lahyani said the acquisition would provide an opportunity to promote Bahrain property to Middle Eastern investors. ''It is also a testament of the potential growth that we expect from the country, where we want to continue to bring the best real estate listings and data to Bahrain citizens and residents.''
Lahyani added that this was another milestone that would help the Property Finder Group to further expand its footprint in the Middle East and North Africa.
