Bahrain-based alternative investment firm Arcapita Group Holdings plans to invest USD 1.5 billion in industrial and logistics real estate across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) over the next 24 months. The investment will expand its existing portfolio of more than USD 2 billion in assets under management in the sector.
The move comes amid growing demand for industrial infrastructure, modern logistics facilities and stronger supply chain capabilities across the Gulf region. Arcapita plans to focus on developing and acquiring industrial and logistics properties in key GCC markets.
The investment programme will target high-quality industrial and logistics assets, particularly build-to-suit projects designed to meet the operational requirements of regional and international businesses.
The strategy will be supported by Lintara Properties, Arcapita's dedicated industrial and logistics real estate development and asset management platform.
The company announced its investment plans during Gateway Gulf 2026 in Bahrain. According to Hisham Al Raee, CEO of Arcapita, the economic diversification and investments being made by the GCC in new sectors, infrastructure, and logistics are generating many opportunities.
He said that the investment of USD 1.5 billion during the next 24 months is a reflection of the optimism of the company about the future growth of the region.
Isa Al Khalifa, Managing Director and Head of MENA Real Estate at Arcapita, and Chief Executive Officer of Lintara Properties, said the industrial and logistics sector had demonstrated resilience while adapting to emerging industries and changing business requirements.
He pointed out that increasing importance being placed on the resilience of supply chains, self-sufficiency of regions and redundancy is fueling the need for modern industrial and logistics infrastructure.
Another factor contributing to these opportunities is the lack of institutional-grade facilities in several GCC countries.

Moreover, Arcapita laid the foundation of the 20,000 square metres Grade A logistics center for DP World at Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA).
