Investment Opportunities

Joint Ventures
Partner with us on high-potential development-stage projects in logistics, hospitality, or mixed-use real estate, structured through co-GP or SPV models with clearly defined waterfall terms, aligned incentives, and transparent governance. We offer institutional and strategic investors access to curated assets in high-growth markets, backed by rigorous underwriting, local execution capability, and a proven track record. Whether targeting long-term value or opportunistic returns, our partnerships are built on alignment, performance, and disciplined capital deployment.
Income-Generating Assets
Participate in stabilized, income-generating properties from our portfolio, primarily in Dubai, with a growing pipeline in Saudi Arabia, offering attractive net rental yields, low volatility, and long-term appreciation potential. These assets are strategically located, professionally managed, and curated for investors seeking predictable cash flow with upside exposure in high-growth Gulf markets.
Real Estate Funds & Structures
We offer access to fund-structured investment vehicles, such as PRF No. 2 in Japan, designed for long-term exposure to core, income-generating assets with stable cash flows, professional management, and strong downside protection, providing institutional investors with a scalable, low-risk entry into high-quality real estate portfolios.
Land Development / Flip Partnerships
For qualified investors seeking higher-return, short-cycle opportunities, we offer targeted co-investments in land repositioning and pre-construction flips, strategies designed to capture rapid value uplift through entitlement, planning gains, or early-stage exits, with disciplined underwriting and active asset management to mitigate risk and maximize upside.
Custom Mandates / Institutional Allocation
Family offices, sovereign funds, or large LPs can deploy capital into bespoke mandates aligned with sector (logistics/hospitality), geography (UAE/KSA), or strategy (core/core+, value-add, opportunistic).
