Fund to Enhance Capital for Real Estate Development as Urban Projects Grow in Oman
Muscat: The Oman National Investments Development Company, known as Tanmia, has partnered with FIM Partners Muscat SPC to launch and co-manage the Oman Real Estate Development Fund. This initiative aims to generate at least US$250 million in investments for real estate development throughout the Sultanate.
The fund will concentrate on economically viable property projects, planning to utilize preferred equity and various investment instruments, as detailed in a joint statement. This structure is designed to provide developers with flexible capital while ensuring oversight to enhance project delivery. The fund aims to attract both institutional and private capital into Oman’s real estate sector.
This initiative emerges in the context of Oman’s ongoing urban development and infrastructure investments, aligned with the broader objectives of چشمانداز عمان ۲۰۴۰. There is a growing demand for residential, commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use developments in key areas, although project execution hinges on financing conditions, planning approvals, and market demand.
Khalid Al Balushi, Chief Executive Officer of Tanmia, stated that this partnership aligns with Tanmia’s strategy to create institutional investment platforms and diversify financing options for developers in Oman’s real estate market.
Fares Bou Atme, Head of Real Estate at FIM Partners, emphasized that the fund underscores the firm’s sustained interest in Oman’s property market and its strategy to enhance its investment footprint in the Sultanate.
The statement did not reveal details such as the fund’s initial closing date, targeted projects, anticipated deployment timeline, or investor commitments.
Tanmia is an Omani investment company specializing in public and private markets, asset management, and the development of investment funds and platforms. In contrast, FIM Partners is an investment management firm focusing on emerging, frontier, and MENA markets, with nearly ۱.۴ میلیارد دلار آمریکا (US$5 billion) in assets under management. The firm has been actively investing in Oman’s real estate market for over seven years.
