Government Land Investment Committee Chairperson and Under-Secretary for Research and Projects at the Office of the Prime Minister Nouf Abdulrahman Jamsheer announced the launch of 23 new investment opportunities through the Government Land Investment Platform in the largest batch offered since the platform’s launch.
She noted that this expansion reflects the increasing utilisation of government assets to support economic development, enhance partnerships with the private sector, and advance projects that meet citizens’ aspirations across Bahrain’s regions and governorates.
Ms Jamsheer emphasised that this initiative is part of a strategic approach to attracting high-value investments, creating new opportunities, and enhancing private sector contributions alongside the public sector in projects with a sustainable economic impact.
The newly offered opportunities allow investors and developers to utilise government land for agricultural, commercial, educational and technological development through transparent and competitive mechanisms, optimising land use and further developing Bahrain’s food security sector.
She highlighted that the opportunities include a commercial property belonging to the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club in Hamad Town, covering 6,232sqm, designated for a commercial complex. Additionally, 19 agricultural properties under the Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry in Buri and Hoorat A’ali, with sizes ranging from 5,616.2 to 8,251.3sqm, have been allocated to support agricultural activities and encourage investment in this vital sector. The bidding period for these properties will remain open until May 11.
Further investment opportunities include two plots in Al Qurain and Zallaq in the Southern Governorate, each spanning 40,000sqm, allocated for data centre development projects. Additionally, an educational investment plot in Arad, Muharraq Governorate, covering 12,451sqm, has been designated for the development of a new school.
The bidding process for these investment opportunities under the Finance and National Economy Ministry will continue until June 11.
Ms Jamsheer invited interested investors to participate in the bidding process through the Government Land Investment Platform at investmentland.gov.bh, where they can find details on available properties. She added that applications for investment in listed properties can be submitted through public auction.
