E263 • Sep 30, 2025 • 9 mins

In this episode, Steve Hamoen explores the growth of the UAE's industrial sector, starting with the SC GCC Real Estate Industrial Development Fund's launch alongside CapitaLand Investment Limited. He highlights the UAE's thriving industrial and logistics sectors, particularly in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, and discusses SC Capital Partners' expansion strategy for a next-gen industrial park. Steve also examines Hines' acquisition of the Runway property and the trend of mixed-use developments, the transformation of Enfield Square Mall, and Houston's East End redevelopment. The episode concludes with insights and gratitude.

Key Points

  • The UAE's industrial and logistics sectors are experiencing significant growth due to rising purchasing power, expanding e-commerce, and government-led Industry 4.0 initiatives.
  • SC Capital Partners and CapitaLand Investment Limited have launched the SC GCC Real Estate Industrial Development Fund to support Ras Al Khaimah's transformation with a flagship industrial project expected to create 1,800 jobs and attract over 50 tenants.
  • The Enfield Square Mall in the United States is set for a significant transformation into a mixed-use development, reflecting a broader trend of revitalizing underutilized commercial spaces to meet current market demands.
