Gulf Capital Investment Company ‘InvestGB’, the wholly owned investment arm of Gulf Bank, and Investcorp are expanding their strategic partnership by offering new diversified and Shariah-compliant real estate investment opportunities to InvestGB clients.
The collaboration reflects both firms’ commitment to delivering high-quality, ethically aligned investment solutions in the real estate sector.
Through its dedication to delivering innovative and diversified Shariah-compliant investment solutions that align with the needs of its clients, InvestGB continues to build strategic relationships with world-class partners to broaden its offerings and create access to unique investment opportunities across key sectors.
Since the launch of the partnership, InvestGB has successfully committed to investments across the US real estate market, with a strategic focus on the light industrial and student housing sectors.
Alongside Investcorp, the firm has invested in a diversified portfolio of industrial assets and student housing beds in key markets across multiple offerings. These achievements underscore InvestGB’s commitment to delivering scalable investment opportunities in resilient sectors underpinned by strong fundamentals and long-term demand.
Investcorp is among the top 5 largest cross-border buyers of US real estate over the past five years, according to the Real Capital Analytics. The firm’s US real estate strategy invests primarily in the industrial and residential sectors, which collectively represent 98 percent of the firm’s US real estate portfolio, making it the perfect partner for InvestGB’s ambitions.
Commenting on the partnership, Noorah AlSane, Managing Director of Real Estate Investments at InvestGB, said that, “This strategic partnership provides our clients with diversified shariah-compliant real estate investment solutions.”
AlSane further noted that, “InvestGB and Investcorp will continue to collaborate on new opportunities, including upcoming offerings in the student housing sector, which reflect the shared commitment of both firms to expanding access to resilient and high-performing asset classes for clients.”
Mohammed AlSada, Managing Director at Investcorp, commented that, “Over the last thirty years, Investcorp Real Estate has grown into one of the most active global real estate investment managers in the industry. Within the student housing sector alone, we have owned and managed approximately 20,000 beds across roughly 30 investments.”
“Our strategic approach targets core-plus and light-value-add real estate investments throughout the US that generate strong cash flows while providing potential for capital appreciation through light-value-add opportunities and active management. Our partnership with InvestGB has been a fruitful one, and we are delighted to build upon it further and continue to acquire such assets,” AlSada added.
