Gaw Capital Partners and GFH Partners have teamed up to create a new joint venture focused on industrial and logistics real estate in the UAE. Gaw Capital will own the majority share in this new company. The partnership will help bring large-scale Asian investments into the fast-growing UAE real estate market.
The joint venture will invest in high-quality industrial projects located in key areas such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. These areas are among the UAE’s fastest-growing industrial zones, and the platform will focus on building and developing modern logistics and industrial facilities.
The new industrial and logistics projects will be led by Manrre Developments, which is a joint venture between GFH and the Palmon Group. Palmon Group is a well-established UAE-based industrial company with over 40 years of experience.
This partnership brings strong regional expertise in buying land, planning and design, construction, project execution, and preparing sites for operations. Together, they will build modern, future-ready warehouses and logistics centres to support the UAE’s growing industrial and logistics needs.
Harry Ip, Managing Director of Gaw Capital, said, “We are thrilled to enter UAE’s flourishing industrial and logistics market, supported by strong fundamentals, the surge in structural demand driven by government-led initiatives, and heightened global interest in the logistics and industrial asset class. Leveraging the expertise from GFH Partners, this partnership positions us as one of Asia’s leading forerunners in delivering prime industrial facilities in the UAE, providing investors with exposure to a fundamentally undersupplied market.”
Nael Mustafa, CEO of GFH Partners, commented, “GFH Partners brings on-the-ground specialists, experienced local operators, and a strong track record managing logistics and industrial assets across the GCC. This joint venture allows us to scale that regional expertise even further, capitalizing on the UAE’s robust industrial growth trajectory. Through this partnership with Gaw Capital, we are combining regional insight with global capability to unlock new opportunities in the UAE’s expanding industrial and logistics sector.”
