Nisus Finance has expanded its international real estate footprint with a Rs 247 crore (AED 100 million) investment in a residential asset at Majan, Dubai, through its Nisus High Yield Growth Fund.
The transaction marks the firm’s fourth residential deployment in the UAE and takes the fund’s cumulative UAE exposure beyond USD 145 million (AED 530 million). The investment forms part of a broader USD 500 million allocation strategy focused on income-generating assets in Dubai, backed by institutional investors, family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals across India and the GCC. The Majan acquisition follows Nisus Finance’s Rs 545 crore investment in Lootah Avenue at Dubai Motor City in December 2025, signalling a continued emphasis on stabilised, yield-accretive residential properties. Majan, located within Dubai Land, spans approximately 1.45 sq km and is strategically positioned along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, providing connectivity to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and Dubai International Airport. The district is planned as a mixed-use urban cluster with 32% residential allocation, 44% retail and commercial, and 24% leisure and cultural facilities. The asset acquired by Nisus comprises Grade A, newly developed residential apartments that are reportedly fully occupied. The project offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, targeting mid-market tenants seeking affordability alongside modern amenities. Strong occupancy and rental yields were cited as key factors underpinning the investment rationale. Dubai’s residential market has experienced sustained momentum over the past two years.
According to data from the Dubai Land Department, total real estate transactions in 2025 exceeded AED 917 billion (approximately USD 250 billion) across 3.11 million deals, reflecting a 7% increase in volume and a 24% rise in investor participation. Market analysts attribute the upswing to population growth, business-friendly policies, long-term residency reforms, and increased global capital inflows into income-producing assets. Mid-income residential clusters such as Majan have particularly benefited from demand for value-oriented housing near key business districts. For Nisus Finance, the Majan investment aligns with a high-yield growth strategy focused on stabilised assets capable of generating predictable cash flows. As Indian alternative investment managers scale offshore exposure, Dubai’s regulatory transparency and rental-driven returns continue to attract structured capital.
The latest deployment reinforces Nisus Finance’s ambition to deepen its presence in the UAE while capitalising on Dubai’s robust real estate cycle. With institutional capital increasingly targeting resilient residential micro-markets, Majan’s strategic location and occupancy profile position it as a key node in the firm’s international expansion strategy.
