Dubai, UAE – 8 December 2025: BNW Developments and Enlightened Minds Investments have joined forces as Co-General Partners to launch the BNW Real Estate Fund, a USD 300 million investment vehicle aimed at accelerating premium real estate development across the UAE. The fund saw an impressive USD 27 million in capital commitments on the first day of launch, reflecting strong investor confidence.
The fund’s strategy centres around three key pillars: land acquisition in high-growth, strategically significant locations; completion financing for projects nearing delivery to ensure timely execution; and the development of branded, purpose-built real estate assets designed to meet the needs of today’s end users. Investors can expect annual returns of 18%, comprising an 8% annual distribution with the balance delivered at exit.
Leadership from both organizations emphasised the shared vision of driving impactful growth and setting new benchmarks for investor-focused real estate development in the region.
“This partnership represents a pivotal chapter for our company,” said Mr. Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments. “With the launch of BNW Real Estate Fund, we are scaling our vision to deliver developments that are innovative, investment-strong, and meaningful to the communities they serve. We are confident 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. This is more than capital deployment; it is a new era of development driven by purpose and performance.”
Mr. Sandeep Agarwal, Real Estate Advisor at BNW Developments, noted: “This is the first of many launches for BNW Real Estate Fund in structured markets, combining the stability of bond-like returns with the upside potential of equity participation in the high-growth UAE real estate market.”
Mr. Timur Kudratov, Co-Founder of Enlightened Minds Investments, commented: “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, supporting investors while contributing to the region’s evolving development ecosystem.”
The BNW Real Estate Fund is now open for strategic investor engagement, with the first phase of allocations expected to be deployed across carefully selected projects in the coming months. By combining BNW Developments’ project expertise with Enlightened Minds Investments’ capital-raising capabilities, the fund aims to fast-track compelling projects while contributing to the UAE’s expanding real estate landscape.
