An industrial platform, not a single asset
Erisha combines master-developer economics, long-lease industrial income and operator-led mixed-use assets inside one of the most cost-competitive free zones in the Gulf.
The thesis
Three revenue engines under one masterplan
Erisha is not a single-tenant industrial asset. Returns are built from stacked, structurally different income streams that mature on different clocks.
Engine 01
Hub operations
Long-lease turnkey industrial facilities, land and infrastructure services across 25 million sq ft, on 15–30 year tenors.
Engine 02
Ecosystem participation
Operator leasing across residential and commercial assets, plus joint ventures in hospitality, retail, healthcare and R&D.
Engine 03
Sustainability monetisation
Carbon credit generation and clean-energy integration designed into the masterplan from day one rather than retrofitted.
Detailed financial modelling, sensitivity analysis and return assumptions are provided only in the Investment Memorandum, released under NDA to qualified counterparties.
Why now
Market drivers behind the programme
Operation 300bn
The UAE targets growth in manufacturing GDP from AED 133 billion to AED 300 billion by 2031. Erisha is designed to contribute USD 5–6 billion per annum at stabilisation.
UAE–India CEPA
A bilateral trade target of USD 100 billion by 2027. RAKEZ free zone manufacturing qualifies for CEPA preferential tariff treatment.
Nearshoring shift
Post-pandemic reconfiguration and geopolitical concentration risk are driving over USD 1 trillion of manufacturing investment away from single-country dependence.
First mover in the Northern Emirates
Erisha is positioned as the only Net Zero-oriented integrated industrial hub in the Northern Emirates, combining scale with a structural cost advantage.

De-risking
Capital follows demand
Unlike mega-projects that launch at full scale and then stall, Erisha sequences deployment so each phase is validated before the next commits capital.
Phase I proves the ecosystem
Core infrastructure plus 20 turnkey units generate early revenue and anchor tenant validation before high-capex clusters are committed.
Each phase adds value density
Cleanrooms, gigafactory and eVTOL zones raise rent per square metre and lengthen weighted average lease term.
Multiple capital structures
JV, co-investment and operator partnerships allow third-party capital to enter at asset level rather than only at platform level.
