Arcapita Group Holdings Limited has unveiled a major investment initiative worth more than $1 billion targeting logistics infrastructure assets in the US and the UK.
The new commitment will focus on acquiring and developing income-generating assets such as industrial warehouses and data centres in markets that continue to benefit from strong structural demand.
The move builds on Arcapita’s long-standing investment strategy, having already deployed over US$7 billion globally in similar sectors viewed as fundamental to the modern economy.
The announcement was made during the Gateway Gulf Investment Forum, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board.
Hisham Al Raee, Chief Executive Officer of Arcapita, said the firm was pursuing a robust pipeline of opportunities across real estate and digital infrastructure. “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,” he said.
“Our strategy reflects confidence in these long-term trends and our focus on resilient sectors that combine stable income with scalable growth potential.”
In the United States, Arcapita will concentrate on acquiring and expanding high-quality data centres that serve AI and cloud-based technology providers. These facilities are typically secured by long-term leases, reliable tenants and opportunities to scale capacity in supply-constrained markets.
In the UK, the firm plans to grow its industrial real estate platform by aggregating small to mid-sized estates in key regional hubs. These assets cater to a wide range of occupiers in manufacturing, logistics and services, benefiting from limited new supply and increased demand for energy-efficient, modern space.
Arcapita said it sees both markets as well-positioned for sustained growth, driven by rising data consumption, supply chain reconfiguration and tightening environmental standards. These trends, the company noted, are expected to underpin continued demand for high-quality logistics and digital infrastructure.
The firm, which currently manages approximately US$3 billion in industrial real estate assets globally, said the initiative aligns with its broader strategy of investing where technology and long-term economic shifts converge to create durable value for investors.
