Under the terms of the MoU, Arcapita will leverage its expertise in creating high-quality built-to-suit industrial real estate

facilities and oversee the development of warehouses tailored to meet the requirements of potential tenants, further

key milestone in KAEC’s efforts to establish itself as a premier industrial and economic hub. He expressed confidence

The partnership will provide KAEC access to Arcapita’s global network of blue-chip tenants, attracting high-quality
