Master developer Arada is making a significant move into the financial sector with the launch of Arada Capital, a new fund management platform headquartered in the Abu Dhabi Global Market. With a bold ambition to reach $5 billion in assets under management within the next four years, the platform aims to provide institutional and qualified investors with a regulated gateway into the GCC's thriving real estate and infrastructure markets. Currently awaiting final licensing from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority, Arada Capital is set to leverage the developer’s vast project pipeline, which already spans 55,000 homes and is valued at approximately Dh130 billion.

The new venture will be led by Chairman Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal and CEO Moustafa Fahour, a seasoned executive with extensive experience in international banking and infrastructure. This strategic launch arrives as investor interest in the Gulf remains high, fueled by robust economic development and large-scale government initiatives across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. By offering a professionally managed entry point into high-quality real estate assets, Arada Capital plans to capitalize on the region’s growth, eventually broadening its scope to include diversified private-market investment strategies alongside its initial core focus on development projects.
