Fangda assists Thi Holdings Group in signing the industrial park development agreement with RAKEZ, UAE
Recently, THi Holdings Group, a renowned industrial park developer and operator from Singapore, officially signed the industrial park development agreement with the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This landmark initiative injects strong momentum into regional economic development and opens a new chapter in cross-border industrial cooperation.
As a leader in the industrial park development sector, THi Holdings Group, leveraging its exceptional professional capabilities and extensive global experience, will jointly invest USD 300 million with global investors to build a world-class integrated industrial park in RAKEZ. Spanning 300,000 square meters, the park will feature advanced infrastructure and a comprehensive industrial support service system. It plans to attract over 20 multinational advanced manufacturing groups from regions including China, Japan, and the United States. This initiative will bring new vitality and opportunities to the advanced manufacturing industry in Ras Al Khaimah and across the UAE, driving local industrial upgrading and diversification while enhancing the region’s position and competitiveness in the global industrial chain. Meanwhile, THi Holdings Group and its partners are establishing an investment fund platform and an operations management platform in the UAE to provide supporting services such as investment promotion, financing, and operational management for the park, forming a full-cycle industrial ecosystem covering investment, development, and operations. The park will focus on industries such as intelligent manufacturing, advanced materials, electric vehicles, digital technology, supply chains, healthcare, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).
The park will especially cater to the needs of Chinese outbound enterprises, offering end-to-end solutions including entry support, capital matchmaking, and local channel expansion. It will serve as a strategic launchpad for Chinese companies to “go global”, helping them quickly integrate into the Middle Eastern market and radiate to North Africa and surrounding regions. Currently, the Middle East, with its open foreign investment policies, upgraded infrastructure, industrial diversification strategies, and unique geographic advantages, is rapidly becoming a central hub for Chinese companies’ overseas expansion. Chinese enterprises are accelerating their regional presence in the Middle East through cross-border investments, establishing regional headquarters, and setting up operations in industrial parks, positioning the Middle East as a strategic node linking global markets.

Fangda is also leading the drafting, negotiation, and finalization of various transaction documents, including the investment framework agreement, local UAE land lease agreements (Musataha Agreements), and the full set of transaction documents for the investment fund and operations management platforms. By leveraging its global network of partner law firms, Fangda’s Real Estate and Construction team coordinates with legal teams in the UAE and other regions to ensure the efficient and stable implementation of the project.
