"The minimum application size for the retail tranche is Dh5,000 and thereafter in increments of
Dh1,000 apiece," according to the prospectus.
Atik Munshi, managing partner, FinExpertiza UAE, said Parkin IPO is expected to attract retail
investors looking to capitalise on investment opportunities in the market.
"With the increase in permanent and floating populations, there is always a dearth of parking
spaces in Dubai, particularly in the commercial and business areas. With the launch of
Parkin's IPO, investors can get a slice of the lucrative market, which has even better potential
in the future," Munshi told Khaleej Times on Tuesday.
Third RTA entity
Parkin, which closed 2023 with Dh779.4 million in revenues and Dh414.4 million net profit, will
be the third entity of Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA) after Salik and Dubai Taxi
Company. It operates 175,000 parking spaces across 85 locations in the city, another 4,000 or
so spaces at nine MSCPs (multi-storey car parks), and about 18,000 spaces at seven
developer-owned facilities.
The entity oversees the RTA's car park and was incorporated as a public joint stock company
in January. Under the law, Dubai's ownership of the company will not fall below 60 per cent
when its shares are sold to the public.
