Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Centre Partners with PATRIZIA for Project Investment

The Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) has signed a strategic partnership with global real assets investment manager PATRIZIA to boost cooperation in infrastructure investment and project delivery.

The Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) has formally partnered with PATRIZIA, an international investment manager specialising in real assets, to enhance infrastructure investment and project execution across the Emirate. The agreement, signed during the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) International Roadshow in Munich, aims to integrate private capital and international expertise into Abu Dhabi’s extensive capital-project programme.

These projects span crucial sectors including housing, transport, culture, education, and social infrastructure, all designed to support the Emirate's long-term growth and economic competitiveness. The collaboration with PATRIZIA will explore mechanisms for private sector involvement, focusing on public-private partnership (PPP) structures and sharing international best practices in infrastructure financing and delivery.

PATRIZIA, which has operated with institutional investors in Abu Dhabi for 15 years and recently established a permanent presence in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), will contribute its global real assets expertise. This includes engaging in dialogues about potential investment and co-investment opportunities arising from Abu Dhabi’s development agenda.
