Real estate investment in the UAE has become increasingly sophisticated, with structures such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), property funds, and joint ventures playing a central role in portfolio growth and capital deployment. At Kayrouz & Associates, we advise developers, asset managers, institutional investors, and family offices on structuring and managing real estate investments within the local legal and regulatory framework.
We assist in establishing REITs under UAE regulations, particularly those governed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). Our lawyers advise on fund formation, licensing, and compliance with listing requirements for public and private REITs.
Beyond REITs, we help clients structure real estate joint ventures, special purpose vehicles (SPVs), and investment platforms that align with ownership and control requirements. We also advise on capital structuring, tax implications, and investor rights.
Whether launching a fund or entering a joint venture, our goal is to ensure the investment vehicle is compliant, efficient, and aligned with the strategic goals of all stakeholders.
