Arcapita Group Holdings, a global alternative investment firm, yesterday announced the launch of Lintara Properties, a dedicated real estate asset manager, developer, and investment adviser operating across key regional markets including Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain.
Arcapita currently manages more than $1 billion in industrial real estate assets across the GCC, serving a diversified tenant base that includes global and regional leaders such as DSV and Iron Mountain.
The new firm will manage and develop assets for Arcapita’s existing and future GCC industrial real estate funds, aiming for greater scale and market reach.
“The launch of Lintara Properties marks a pivotal step in advancing Arcapita’s position as one of the region’s leading investors in the industrial and logistics real estate sector,” said Arcapita chief executive officer (CEO) Hisham Al Raee.
“Lintara is uniquely positioned to scale with purpose, drive transformative value, support the region’s evolving economic priorities and capture high-growth industrial development opportunities.”
Lintara Properties CEO Isa Al Khalifa noted the firm will treat real estate as “a catalyst for economic progress,” combining strategic thinking with on-the-ground execution to deliver tailored solutions.
Lintara launches with a defined pipeline of new industrial parks in strategic markets, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Its mandate covers the full real estate value chain, from concept and design through construction and handover.
In addition to asset management, Lintara will offer strategic advisory services to investors, focussing on value-add initiatives to secure long-term returns by attracting high-quality tenants and enhancing overall asset performance.
The new platform supports Arcapita’s objective of managing real estate assets that contribute to regional economic transformation, aligning with high-impact government initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Arcapita first embarked on its GCC industrial strategy in 2010. Today, its industrial portfolio, valued at more than $1bn, consists of more than 30 properties with a built-up area of more than 3.5 million square feet, leased to over 80 tenants.
