Deploying Qatari Capital into US Hard Assets.
Bypassing bloated funds. We provide direct access to prime commercial real estate, infrastructure, and high-yield debt in secondary and tertiary US markets for GCC investors.
The Macro Thesis: Why US Real Estate Now?
While primary markets (NY, SF) face structural headwinds, the US Sunbelt and Mountain West are experiencing a demographic and industrial renaissance.
For Qatari capital—seeking both yield and generational preservation—the current interest rate environment has created a rare entry window. Leveraged institutional players are being forced to sell prime assets to meet redemptions, discounting properties 15-25% below replacement cost.
We target these exact dislocations. Cash-heavy investors from the GCC are uniquely positioned to step in, secure un-levered or under-levered yields of 7-9%, and hold for cap rate compression.
"The current vintage of US real estate acquisitions (2024-2025) will likely be remembered as the most profitable entry point since the post-GFC era of 2010."— Q3 2024 US Real Estate Market Report

Navigating the Friction
The Problem
FIRPTA & Double TaxationForeign investors face severe tax penalties (FIRPTA) when selling US real estate, often resulting in 15% withholding on the gross sales price, destroying IRR.
The Solution
Treaty Structuring & BlockersUtilizing US-Qatar tax treaties and strategically placed corporate blockers (C-Corps) or foreign debt structures can significantly mitigate or eliminate FIRPTA exposure.
Read the Tax Structuring Guide →Off-Market & Direct
We do not syndicate public deals. We source direct, off-market opportunities from distressed operators, regional banks looking to offload loans, and developers needing recapitalization.
This direct approach eliminates layers of middleman fees (acquisition fees, massive promotes, AUM fees) that typical US funds charge GCC investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you manage funds or do direct deals?
We focus on direct deal syndication on a deal-by-deal basis, allowing investors to choose their specific asset exposure rather than committing to a blind pool fund.
What is the minimum check size?
Typical minimum investment size for direct deals is $500,000 USD, though institutional co-investment opportunities generally start at $5M USD.
How are currency risks managed?
Given the Qatari Riyal (QAR) is pegged to the US Dollar (USD), currency exchange risk is effectively eliminated, making US assets highly attractive for Qatari capital.
Are your investments Shariah compliant?
We offer specific structuring options for Shariah compliance upon request, usually involving specific debt structures and asset class screening (avoiding conventional financial, alcohol, or gambling tenants).
