Global capital is flowing into the GCC’s industrial and logistics sector and Dubai is taking center stage. Just this week, Singapore-based SC Capital Partners, backed by CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI), announced the launch of the SC GCC Industrial Development Fund (GRID), with an initial focus on the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The move underscores international confidence in the region’s transformation into a logistics and industrial hub.

- E-commerce growth driving unprecedented demand for modern logistics facilities.
- Global supply chain shifts, positioning Dubai as the bridge between Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Investor Advantages
For investors, industrial and logistics real estate offers:
- Steady, long-term rental income with institutional-grade tenants.
- Diversification away from traditional residential or retail assets.
- Resilience through economic cycles, supported by government-led diversification.
