Safanad: A Differentiated Real Estate and Private Equity Investment Firm
Safanad, founded in 2009, is a global real estate and private equity investment firm with a unique approach to investment management. The company is headquartered in Dubai, with additional offices in New York and London. Safanad's team of approximately 50 professionals have completed more than 40 transactions totaling $10 billion in the United States and Europe, with a particular focus on value-add and opportunistic real estate investments, as well as private equity businesses in the healthcare and education sectors.
The firm's investment strategy is driven by its deep understanding of the value drivers of both operational businesses and real estate assets. This creates strong synergies between Safanad's real estate and private equity teams, allowing them to drive long-term growth and investment out-performance in sectors where they have an institutional edge. By leveraging their vast network of partners and the proven expertise of their highly experienced board and senior investment team, Safanad is able to identify and capitalize on unique investment opportunities.
In addition to its focus on value creation, Safanad is committed to being a trusted partner to investors, operating teams, and the businesses they own. This is achieved through their alignment of making a significant commitment to every investment, ensuring that their interests are aligned with those of their partners. With a long-term investment horizon, Safanad's exits are value-driven, not time-driven, as they structure each deal to focus on long-term value creation over the life of the investment.
Safanad's global approach is evident in their investment activities, which are largely concentrated in the US and Europe. The firm primarily targets value-add and opportunistic real estate investments, as well as private equity businesses in the healthcare and education sectors, typically backed by significant real estate assets. This focus allows Safanad to leverage its institutional knowledge and expertise, as well as its extensive network of partners, to drive growth and out-performance in these sectors.
From its headquarters at 402 A, Level 4 The Gate Building, East Wing, DIFC, Dubai, AE, Safanad is well-positioned to continue its successful track record of investment management in the real estate and private equity spaces.
