Arcapita Group Holdings Limited has unveiled a major $1 billion investment initiative targeting logistics infrastructure assets in the United States and the United Kingdom. The strategic commitment focuses on acquiring and developing income-generating assets, particularly industrial warehouses and data centres.
The investment aligns with ongoing structural market demands, as highlighted by Hisham Al Raee, Arcapita’s CEO: “The rise of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and e-commerce continues to reshape global demand for mission-critical assets such as data centres and industrial estates.”
Key investment strategies include:
- In the US: Acquiring and expanding high-quality data centres serving AI and cloud-based technology providers
- In the UK: Aggregating small to mid-sized industrial estates in key regional hubs
The firm, which currently manages approximately US$3 billion in industrial real estate assets globally, emphasized that this initiative reflects confidence in long-term trends and resilient sectors offering stable income with scalable growth potential.
Arcapita’s approach targets markets experiencing sustained growth, driven by:
- Rising data consumption
- Supply chain reconfiguration
- Tightening environmental standards
This strategic move builds on Arcapita’s impressive track record, having already deployed over US$7 billion globally in similar sectors considered fundamental to the modern economy.
The announcement was made during the Gateway Gulf Investment Forum, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board, underscoring the region’s growing role in global investment strategies.
