Arcapita Launches Lintara Properties to Enhance Real Estate Sector

Arcapita Group Holdings Limited, a global alternative investment firm based in Doha, Qatar, has officially launched Lintara Properties, a dedicated real estate asset manager and developer. Lintara will operate in key regional markets, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, focusing on industrial and logistics real estate.

Arcapita currently manages assets valued at over $1 billion in industrial real estate across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), catering to a varied tenant base that features prominent companies such as DSV, Obeikan, and Iron Mountain.

Strategic Expansion into Real Estate Management

During the launch, Hisham Abdulrahman Al Raee, Chief Executive Officer of Arcapita, stated that Lintara Properties represents a significant step in enhancing Arcapita’s position as a leader in industrial and logistics real estate investment. He emphasized that Lintara is uniquely positioned to drive transformative value while supporting the region’s evolving economic goals. “This strategic expansion allows us to capture high-growth industrial development opportunities that perfectly complement our established core industrial strategy,” he remarked.

Lintara will provide comprehensive asset management and development services for Arcapita’s current and future industrial real estate funds within the GCC. With a clear mandate, Lintara aims to serve as the preferred partner for logistics and industrial tenants looking to expand strategically in the region.

Vision for Economic Growth

Isa Husam Al Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer of Lintara Properties, shared insights into the company’s vision, stating, “At Lintara, we see real estate not just as infrastructure but as a catalyst for economic progress.” He underscored the commitment to combining strategic planning with practical execution to deliver tailored solutions that align with partners’ visions.

The newly launched Lintara Properties will focus on developing new industrial parks in strategic locations throughout Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The company’s mandate encompasses the entire real estate value chain, from concept and design to construction and handover, ensuring high-quality, market-tailored industrial assets are delivered.

In addition to its asset management capabilities, Lintara will also offer strategic advisory services to investors, aiming to unlock the full potential of their portfolios through targeted value-enhancement initiatives. By leveraging its development expertise and local market insights, Lintara seeks to secure long-term returns through extended leases and high-quality tenants.

The establishment of Lintara signifies a new chapter for Arcapita’s real estate strategy, merging local insights with international governance and performance standards. This initiative aligns with Arcapita’s broader goal of managing real estate assets that contribute to regional economic transformation, driven by impactful government programs such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP).

Since initiating its GCC industrial strategy in 2010, Arcapita has developed a robust portfolio of industrial assets. The firm grew its assets under management by acquiring a diverse range of properties occupied by well-known international companies, regional leaders, and local entities. Currently, Arcapita stands as one of the leading investors in industrial real estate in the region, with a portfolio valued at over $1 billion and comprising more than 3.5 million square feet across over 30 properties leased to more than 80 tenants.
