About us

About us

Apex Capital UK was established in 2022 to help our Partners from the Middle East invest in the UK and European real estate markets.

Continue

We have travelled and worked extensively in the Middle East and have a thorough understanding of our Partners’ principles and cultures and have developed deep and trusted relationships with many investors over more than 20 years. Giving the right advice is at the heart everything we do and believe in.

We are fortunate to benefit from a substantial cornerstone investor, giving us flexibility to invest exclusively on their behalf or in joint venture with other local Partners. We are always pleased to co-invest to ensure alignment with our Partners and demonstrate our belief in the project. We also act as trusted advisors to our Partners where they are not seeking co-investment.

We have a rigorous underwriting process, and all investments require approval from our internal Investment Committee and Shariah scholars.

We are committed to providing best in class advice and to working with our Partners to generate strong investment returns.
