Delivery model

Single-point accountability

Erisha operates a master-developer-led delivery model, acting as the single point of coordination across design, approvals, infrastructure and construction. This removes the fragmented interfaces that typically delay manufacturing projects.

Build-to-suit lease

Typical lease tenor 15–30 years
Single master developer, campus-managed environment
Rent structured on completed built-up area
Master Developer: shell, structure, base MEP, campus infrastructure
Tenant: process fit-out, equipment, internal systems

Commercial flexibility

Milestone-linked payment structures during construction
Upfront contributions for long-term price certainty
Expansion options embedded within the lease

Partnership & JV options

Three ways to structure capital

Some programmes need large footprints, high upfront capex and long production ramps. For those, Erisha offers partnership-based delivery alongside leasing.

Structure A

Asset / facility JV

Shared investment in a purpose-built facility
Long-term occupation secured through lease or operating agreement
Capital aligned with production ramp-up

Structure B

Lease with capital participation

Tenant contributes a defined portion of construction capital
Reduced long-term occupancy cost
Price certainty over the lease term

Structure C

Anchor-led ecosystem investment

Anchor tenant investment supports shared infrastructure or supplier facilities
Value returned through preferential terms or expansion rights

Facility specifications

Indicative technical profiles

Every facility is co-designed with the manufacturer so the building supports production flow, automation and logistics — not the other way around. Select a cluster.

Electric & hydrogen vehicle production

Electric vehicle manufacturing is no longer a single-plant decision. It is a long-term capital and operational strategy involving production, suppliers, logistics, workforce and export access.

Build-to-suit leases run 15 to 30 years with a single master developer across a campus-managed environment. Rent is structured on completed built-up area. The Master Developer delivers shell, structure, base MEP and campus infrastructure; the tenant delivers process fit-out, equipment and internal systems.

The standard pathway is agreement execution, co-design and authority approvals, construction, then commissioning and start of production. Target delivery is approximately 18 months from sublease execution, subject to final design and approvals.

Yes. Alongside a standard build-to-suit lease, Rana Group offers an Asset or Facility JV, a lease with capital participation where the tenant contributes a defined portion of construction capital in exchange for reduced long-term occupancy cost, and anchor-led ecosystem investment where an anchor tenant's investment supports shared infrastructure in return for preferential terms or expansion rights.

Indicative ranges run from 10,000 sqm for semiconductor and electronics facilities up to 120,000+ sqm for OEM vehicle assembly, with modular expansion in 10,000 to 20,000 sqm increments and adjacent expansion plots reservable from day one.

The campus sits within the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) at Al Ghail, offering 100% foreign ownership, full capital repatriation and expedited licensing. The masterplan also includes a designated non-free-zone industrial band in Phase III for tenants who require onshore status.

Indicative large-industry rents in the RAKEZ Al Ghail zone sit materially below Dubai and Abu Dhabi comparables, with a stated overall operating cost advantage of 35 to 50% against Dubai industrial zones. Figures are indicative and confirmed at the point of a formal offer.

Yes. Fifty ecosystem business types are planned across residential support, commercial and office, hospitality, healthcare, education, retail, recreation and R&D. These are delivered through long-term leases, operator-led models or management agreements.
