04 Mar 2026 CW Team

With this deal the fund's cumulative investment in the UAE has crossed USD 145 mn and 530 mn AED, contributing to a planned USD 500 mn deployment with global institutions and family offices. The firm previously acquired Lootah Avenue in Dubai Motor City for Rs 5.45 billion in December 2025. The transaction is the latest in a rapid deployment phase.

Majan is described as a Grade A, newly developed asset that is fully occupied with a strong tenant mix and attractive rental yields, offering uninterrupted views towards Al Barari. The project features modern amenities and a balanced mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom residences aimed at families and professionals. The investment decision is said to reflect disciplined selection and structured execution under the DIFC regulatory framework.

Fund management indicated that the vehicle continues to attract institutional fund managers, family offices and ultra high net worth investors across the GCC and India, broadening the international capital base. Executives said the acquisition marks the fund's fourth residential deployment in the UAE and demonstrates disciplined capital allocation and on-ground execution. Management stated that investor confidence supports continued pursuit of scalable opportunities.

The Dubai market recorded a milestone in 2025 with transactions totalling Dh917 bn, equivalent to USD 250 bn, across 3.11 mn deals, driven by a seven per cent increase in value and a 24 per cent rise in investor numbers to 193,100, according to the Dubai Land Department. Majan covers about 1.45 square kilometres and combines residential, commercial, retail and leisure components. Nisus Finance is presented as a diversified financial services group focused on high-yield and special-situation assets across India, GIFT City and the UAE.
