Arcapita Group intends to invest $1.5 billion in the GCC industrial and logistics sector over the next 24 months. The company has already begun construction on a large logistics hub at King Salman Energy Park in Saudi Arabia.
Why it matters
The plan targets growing demand for warehousing and logistics space across the Gulf, where Arcapita already manages more than $2 billion in industrial real estate assets. It signals continued private capital flowing into regional supply chain infrastructure.
The 1.4 million square meter ASMO hub is among the largest projects cited, alongside a 30,000 square meter DSV facility in Jebel Ali and a 20,000 square meter DP World centre in Jafza. Lintara Properties, the platform driving the strategy, oversees 32 properties totaling 6.6 million square feet across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
The players
Arcapita Group
A Bahrain-based global private equity company that manages industrial real estate assets across the Gulf Cooperation Council region.
Lintara Properties
Arcapita's industrial and logistics real estate development and asset management platform, launched in October 2025 to oversee its regional portfolio.
The details
Arcapita will focus on build-to-suit developments and acquisitions of high-quality industrial and logistics assets in key Gulf markets. Its industrial platform, Lintara Properties, launched in October 2025 and will drive the investment strategy.
Timeline
October 2025: Lintara Properties was launched as Arcapita's industrial and logistics platform.
This year (2026): Construction began on the ASMO hub, the DSV facility was completed and groundbreaking occurred for the DP World centre.
Over the next 24 months: Arcapita plans to deploy $1.5 billion into the GCC industrial and logistics sector.
Market Landscape
Gulf states have pursued economic diversification plans that elevate logistics and warehousing as non-oil growth sectors, and private capital is increasingly financing that build-out. Arcapita's platform places it among investors competing to supply modern industrial space as regional trade corridors expand.
For commercial tenants and logistics operators, new Lintara-managed facilities across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain may expand available warehousing options. Those seeking space should monitor completion timelines, which have not yet been publicly specified.
The takeaway
Private investment in logistics space is becoming a major driver of Gulf infrastructure growth, so businesses that depend on warehousing should track where new capacity is being built. Watching project completion dates will clarify when that supply reaches the market.
