Arcapita to Invest Over $1.5 Billion During the Next 24 Months to Expand Its GCC Industrial Logistics Platform

Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain – November 2, 2026 - Arcapita Group Holdings Limited (“Arcapita”), the global alternative investment firm, today announced plans to invest an additional $1.5 billion in industrial and logistics real estate across the GCC over the next 24 months, building on its existing over $2 billion in assets under management in the sector. The planned investment reinforces Arcapita’s confidence in the region’s long-term economic growth and attractiveness as an investment destination.

The announcement, made during Gateway Gulf 2026 in the Kingdom of Bahrain, underscores Arcapita’s continued commitment to the Kingdom and its position as a leading regional financial and investment hub. It also reflects the firm’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Bahrain’s position as a center for alternative investments, while supporting economic diversification and sustainable growth across the GCC.

The investment program will focus primarily on the development and acquisition of high-quality industrial and logistics assets across key GCC markets, with a particular emphasis on build-to-suit developments designed around the operational requirements of leading regional and international occupiers. The strategy will be supported by Lintara Properties, Arcapita’s dedicated industrial and logistics real estate development and asset management platform.

Hisham Al Raee, Chief Executive Officer of Arcapita, said: “We remain confident in the long-term growth prospects of the GCC and see significant opportunities emerging as economies across the region continue to diversify and invest in new industries, infrastructure and supply chains. Our planned investment of an additional $1.5 billion over the next 24 months reflects that conviction and will build on the strong momentum we have established across our regional real estate business.”

Isa Al Khalifa, Managing Director, Head of MENA Real Estate at Arcapita and Chief Executive Officer of Lintara Properties, said: “The industrial and logistics sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience over recent years, evolving to serve new industries and emerging demands, and establishing itself as a key pillar of economic growth across the GCC. The growing emphasis on supply chain resilience, regional self-sufficiency and operational redundancy is further accelerating demand for modern industrial and logistics infrastructure, as businesses look to strengthen their supply chains and ensure continuity of operations. At the same time, the supply of modern, institutional-quality facilities remains limited in several GCC markets, creating significant opportunities to address this gap through high-quality, purpose-built developments that meet the evolving operational requirements of leading regional and international businesses.”

Arcapita’s plans build on a period of significant activity across its MENA real estate platform. During 2026, the firm commenced construction of the 1.4 million square meter ASMO logistics hub at King Salman Energy Park (“SPARK”) in Saudi Arabia, completed a 30,000 square meter purpose-built logistics facility for DSV in Jebel Ali Free Zone (“Jafza”), and broke ground on a further 20,000 square meter Grade A logistics center for DP World in Jafza.

Launched in October 2025, Lintara Properties oversees more than $2 billion of assets and manages approximately 6.6 million square feet across 32 properties in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The platform combines Arcapita’s investment, structuring and asset management expertise with specialized development capabilities, providing end-to-end real estate solutions for leading regional and international occupiers. Lintara will play a central role in originating, developing and managing new assets under Arcapita’s planned $1.5 billion regional investment program.
