The proposition

One counterparty, land to start of production

Most industrial zones sell you a plot and leave you to assemble the rest. Erisha is master-developer-led: design, authority approvals, infrastructure and construction are coordinated through a single point of accountability.

Rana Exim FZ-LLC holds the land, builds the shell, brings the power and hands you a facility engineered around your process — not the other way around.

  • Build-to-suit facilities co-designed around your production flow, automation and logistics
  • Target 18 months from sublease execution to commissioning, subject to final design and approvals
  • Master Developer delivers shell, structure, base MEP and campus infrastructure; tenant fits out process and equipment
  • Expansion plots reserved from day one, so capacity grows without relocation
  • 100% foreign ownership and full capital repatriation inside the RAKEZ free zone

Why Erisha

The value proposition

Cost

35–50% lower operating cost

Structurally below Dubai and Abu Dhabi industrial zones on rent and land, protecting long-term competitiveness rather than offering a launch discount.

Regime

Free zone certainty

100% foreign ownership, zero corporate tax on qualifying free zone income, full profit repatriation and 48-hour expedited licensing through RAKEZ.

Policy

Aligned to national strategy

Directly supports UAE Operation 300bn, the Net Zero 2050 Vision and the UAE–India CEPA trade corridor.

Logistics

15 minutes to Saqr Port

The Middle East’s largest bulk handling port, with RAK International Airport 20 minutes away and a planned Etihad Rail connection.

ESG

Net Zero from day one

Every building delivered to Net Zero standards, with a renewable-ready grid, greywater recycling and carbon credit generation built into the masterplan.

Risk

Phased, de-risked delivery

Three sequenced phases so capital follows demand: Phase I validates the ecosystem before high-capex clusters are committed.
