Saudi Proptech Rela Secures Strategic Investment for Workforce Housing

Saudi proptech startup Rela has secured an undisclosed investment from Yazeed Al Rajhi & Brothers Holding, which is joining the company as both an investor and strategic partner.

Founded in early 2026 by Salman Al Jabrain, Rela provides workforce accommodation as a managed service, combining licensed housing with property preparation, operations, maintenance, transportation and catering.

The company works with property owners, developers and investors to bring residential assets onto its platform, then prepares and operates them for corporate clients housing employees and workers.

Its technology allows businesses to reserve accommodation, track occupancy and allocate employees across multiple sites, while giving operators greater visibility into how properties are being used.

Rela plans to use the partnership to expand its network of workforce housing properties and residential complexes across Saudi Arabia and strengthen its operational capabilities.

The company is targeting sectors including construction, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, retail, operations and maintenance, as well as major projects that require accommodation for large workforces over extended periods.

The investment comes only months after Rela began operations, with Yazeed Al Rajhi & Brothers Holding’s role extending beyond financial backing to strategic support for the company’s expansion.
