USD 300 million fund set to accelerate real estate opportunities through land acquisition, project completion support, and

premium development initiatives

BNW Developments and Enlightened Minds Investments have officially entered a strategic association as Co-General Partners to launch the BNW Real Estate Fund, which had capital commitments of USD 27 million on the day of launch itself, aimed at accelerating premium real estate development across the UAE. The partnership was formalized during an exclusive signing ceremony in the presence of select investors and industry stakeholders.

The Fund will focus on three key investment pillars, starting with land acquisition in high-growth, strategically significant locations. It will also prioritize last-mile and completion financing for promising projects nearing delivery, ensuring timely execution and market entry. Additionally, the fund is committed to developing branded, purpose-built real estate assets designed to meet the needs of today’s end users. This strategy is expected to yield 18% per annum, including an 8% annual distribution and the balance delivered upon exit.

Leadership from both organizations reinforced their shared vision to drive impactful growth and elevate the benchmark for investor-centric development in the region. Speaking on the signing, Mr. Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments, said, “This partnership represents a pivotal chapter for our company. With the launch of BNW Real Estate Fund, we are scaling our vision to deliver developments that are not only innovative and investment-strong but also meaningful to the communities they serve. We are confident that this collaboration will fast-track our ambition to redefine the future of real estate in the region.”

Mr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director and Co-Founder of BNW Developments, added, “This partnership is a statement of intent. With the launch of the fund, we are investing in outcomes, growth, and the future of the UAE. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for BNW, one built on scale, speed, and clarity. This is more than capital deployment; it is a new era of development, driven by purpose and performance. We are building momentum that will shape markets, create value, and redefine the possibilities.”

Mr. Sandeep Agarwal, Real Estate Advisor, BNW Developments, added, “This is the first of many launches for BNW Real Estate Fund in structured markets and focused on combining the best of regular returns like bond markets and the upside potential of equity participation in the high-growth UAE real estate playbook.”

Combining BNW Developments’ expertise and strong project pipeline with Enlightened Minds Investments’ dynamic capital-raising capabilities and investor network, the Fund is designed to fast-track compelling projects while contributing to the region’s expanding development landscape.

Timur Kudratov, Co-Founder of Enlightened Minds Investments, remarked, “Partnering with BNW Developments aligns with our mission to back ventures that are vision-driven and return-focused. The Fund allows us to channel capital into projects with strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential, enabling us to support investors while contributing to the region’s evolving development ecosystem. Together, we look forward to building value that lasts.”

The BNW Real Estate Fund is now open for strategic investor engagement, with the first phase of allocations expected to be deployed across a curated selection of opportunities in the coming months.
