Background
Arada has taken over 80% controlling stake in Reem Hospital located in Abu Dhabi, signaling the first foray of Arada into the healthcare segment by expanding its business portfolio in the field of wellness.
The stake was purchased from a consortium that included Investcorp and other shareholders. Arada also announced an AED2 billion investment commitment to support Reem Hospital’s expansion across the UAE. The hospital’s founders, led by Chairman Zaid Al Siksek and Board Member Mansur Ali, will remain involved to ensure continuity in leadership and medical operations.
Established in 2020 on Reem Island, Reem Hospital is the UAE’s first purpose-built post-acute rehabilitation and multi-speciality hospital. The facility employs more than 800 staff members, including 120 doctors across 42 specialist areas. It treated over 850,000 patients in 2025.
Arada said the investment will fund a major growth phase. The existing Reem Island hospital will double its capacity to 200 beds and add new specialities such as women’s health and paediatrics. Three more hospitals are planned in
Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. A nationwide network of Reem Clinics will also be developed, including sites inside Arada residential communities.
Group CEO Ahmed Alkhoshaibi said the acquisition supports Arada’s goal of creating healthier communities while opening a new revenue stream for the business. Reem Hospital Chairman Zaid Al Siksek said Arada’s resources and long-term vision would help the hospital scale operations and improve patient services.
Since launching in 2017, Arada has built a global project pipeline worth AED130 billion and delivered 15,000 homes.
