Rasmala, an independent investment management group, has announced that it has completed the acquisition of 72 warehouses in Dubai covering nearly 600,000 sq ft in a deal worth about AED300 million ($81 million).
The acquisition of the warehouses in Dubai Investments Park is through a sale and leaseback arrangement for the next seven years and has been made in partnership with Ajman Bank and other leading Gulf investors, a statement said.
The properties are sub-let to a diverse group of 31 tenants operating in sectors such as F&B, retail and manufacturing, it added.
The transaction was financed through a combination of equity and Shari’a compliant financing facility, with Ajman Bank participating as a strategic seed investor and sole financier.
Mohamed Amiri, CEO of Ajman Bank, said: “We remain at the forefront of supporting innovative Shari’a compliant investment solutions for regional investors through our strategic tie-up with Rasmala. This transaction also shows our commitment to the UAE economy which continues to demonstrate robust growth and remains attractive for investors.”
