In a significant move bolstering investor confidence in the Dubai real estate sector, Nisus Finance has committed $59.8 million to the Dubai residential market. This strategic investment marks the firm’s largest venture in the UAE to date and underscores the growing appeal of completed residential assets within this vibrant market. Through this acquisition, Nisus Finance signals its robust belief in the long-term potential of Dubai’s property landscape.
India-based alternative investment firm Nisus Finance has made headlines with its substantial commitment of $59.8 million (INR 536 crore) toward acquiring a finished residential property in Dubai Motor City. This investment is made through the Nisus High Yield Growth Fund, which not only covers the asset’s purchase price but also includes transaction costs and refurbishment expenses for Lootah Avenue—a freehold residential development that was completed in 2021.
The compelling features of Lootah Avenue include 273 residential units, comprising 110 studios, 110 one-bedroom apartments, and 44 two-bedroom units. The development also incorporates a medical center and eight retail outlets, constructed across two basement levels, a ground floor, 23 residential floors, and a rooftop, totaling over 24,000 square meters of net sellable area.
India Firm’s Largest Investment in Dubai
This notable transaction has been structured to involve participation from various global institutional and private investors, with senior financing sourced from Emirates NBD. The acquisition exemplifies Nisus Finance’s strategy of targeting established communities with completed, income-generating residential assets.
“This transaction represents our largest commitment in the UAE and reflects growing institutional confidence in Dubai’s residential market,” stated Amit Goenka, chairman and managing director of Nisus Finance Group. “Our focus remains on completed, income-generating assets in locations with resilient demand and strong long-term fundamentals.”
Dubai Motor City: An Emerging Hotspot
Dubai Motor City has proven to be one of the emirate’s most promising residential micro-markets. Resale apartment transactions in the area surged from approximately 60 in 2020 to more than 650 in 2025, indicating robust growth in demand. Additionally, average property prices in this locality have appreciated by around 65 percent, significantly outperforming the broader Dubai market.
This investment in the Dubai residential market occurs within a period of strong momentum in the city’s real estate sector. Real estate transactions in Dubai reached around $170 billion during the first 11 months of 2025, largely driven by increasing residential demand and ongoing interest from both regional and international investors.
The commitment of $59.8 million by Nisus Finance to the Dubai residential market not only marks a pivotal step for the firm but also reflects the current positive trajectory of the emirate’s property landscape, establishing a formidable case for future investments as opportunities arise.
