Arcapita
Arcapita, led by CEO Hisham Al Raee, has completed over 100 private equity and real estate transactions worth more than $30 billion since 1997.
Arcapita
Arcapita was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Atlanta, with additional offices in Manama, Riyadh, London, and Singapore. The firm named Hisham Al Raee as CEO in 2024 following the retirement of longtime chief Atif Abdulmalik, who remains on the board. Board member Dr. Ali Bin Harmal Aldhaheri joined in a later governance expansion. Arcapita deploys capital across private equity and real estate, with a private equity focus on asset-light, technology-enabled companies delivering essential business services on a broad geographic scale. On the real estate side, the firm develops and manages industrial, logistics, and rental-housing assets across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The firm's management has completed over 100 transactions with total cumulative deal value exceeding $30 billion. Recent real estate activity includes the launch of Lintara Properties, a development platform, and a partnership with ASMO to develop a 1.4-million-square-meter logistics hub at SPARK in Saudi Arabia. The firm also exited a FedEx distribution facility to Ares. Arcapita employs teams across all five offices, though total headcount is not publicly disclosed. The firm's recent operational moves include the CEO transition in 2024 and a series of global promotions announced in 2026. In early 2026, the firm also saw DSV take occupancy of a new 30,000-square-meter logistics warehouse in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone, developed by Lintara. Arcapita's structure blends a US headquarters with deep Gulf Cooperation Council relationships and a global investment mandate. Unlike a pure-play single-family office, the firm operates as an externally-facing asset manager raising and deploying investor capital through institutional-style vehicles, with a highly concentrated sector footprint in logistics real estate and tech-enabled services.
