Dr.Mohamed Rahif Hakmi, Chairman - ARMADA Group

Armada Group has become one of the largest, privately held real estate investment companies in the UAE, reflecting the growing confidence of our partners and investors over the years.

Our view of investing in real estate can be best described as opportunistic. We look for projects that provide above average investment returns and which also have a strategic value. We place a strong emphasis on doing business with quality management teams that have successful track records and unique concepts.

Armada is not a passive capital partner. We believe our experienced professionals can add substantial value to the partnerships with which we are involved, in a number of different ways.

The people who constitute Armada have:

  • strong operating backgrounds in real estate investment assets and capital markets;
  • special skills and relationships with debt and equity sources;
  • an incentive to be responsive and to act quickly to new investment opportunities; and
  • a time horizon substantially different than most institutional-caliber investors.

We believe Armada can provide an unusual mix of capital and experience to real estate investments. If you believe that you are associated with an opportunity which could be of mutual interest, the management team at Armada Group will be very pleased to hear from you.

The UAE property development sector is already amongst the fastest growing in the world and in the coming decades, is likely to emerge as one of the largest in the world and is set to witness an enormous growth rate that will touches billion of dollar in value.

The diversion of funds from the western capital markets to the emerging economies, especially those maturing markets in the GCC for a higher and safe return have also boosted the sentiment in the local and regional real estate sector. This trend will see the real estate market grow by leaps and bounds in the years to come.

And with the current trend in UAE that indicate a significant demand for upscale residential properties. With the current and future real estate development projects coming up in UAE, there exists a significant specialized mortgage finance institutions to encourage and support the buying power of the property.

Armada Group firmly believes that it is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the increased need for excellence in real estate. Currently Armada Group, is showing two innovative designs of superb building projects, the Armada Towers and Salam Tower. These two massive real estate projects with investments exceeding AED 1.2 billion and they are the largest on-going construction activities in the entire region, making them one of the most sought after land improvements in the UAE. The showcase of the building will catch and impress the public’s eyes on Armada Group’s forward looking vision.

We are at Armada have strong values: performance, audacity, courage, creativity, solidarity, and ensuring that the development of our Group is integrated into a strategy of strong, sustainable and profitable growth. At the same time maintaining investor confidence and trust which has become increasingly important in today's global business environment.
