Capitas is a specialized international real estate and investment advisory firm that works with a select network of private and institutional capital partners in the areas of real estate acquisition, development management, asset management advisory, and strategic cross-border transactions. Led by a senior management team with over 70 years of experience, and 7 independent financial and real estate platforms launched in the Americas and MENA region, Capitas carries a reputation for successful execution, innovative solutions, and return driven results. Capitas Group, operating under the brand name Capitas®, was first launched in 2005 by US entrepreneurs with backgrounds in real estate, finance and law. With its headquarters in New York, Capitas worked with Wall Street financial firms to develop specialized Islamic structured finance and insurance products that were desirable to institutional capital market investors. In 2009 Capitas expanded internationally by launching Capitas Group International (CGI), a Jeddah-based joint venture with the largest Islamic multilateral institution in the world, the Islamic Development Bank Group. To date Capitas has launched greenfield financial platforms capitalized at over USD 600 million, overseen large-scale real estate development projects with a market value in excess of USD 2 billion, and has partnered with and advised royal and private family offices, as well as private and public sector institutions and sovereign funds serving the MENA region. In 2015, Capitas partnered with private investors who share in the company’s vision and bring unprecedented access to an exclusive global network and investor base to set up a regulated financial firm based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Capitas (DIFC) Limited was formed and received its license to operate by the Dubai Financial Services Authority in 2017.
