Bahrain Launches 23 New Investment Opportunities through Government Land Investment Platform

Nouf Abdulrahman Jamsheer, Chairperson of the Government Land Investment Committee and Undersecretary for Research and Projects at the Office of the Prime Minister, has announced the launch of 23 new investment opportunities, marking the largest batch since the Government Land Investment Platform’s inception.

In a statement, Jamsheer highlighted that this expansion reflects the government's growing commitment to leveraging public assets to foster economic growth, enhance private sector collaboration, and develop projects that cater to the aspirations of Bahrain’s citizens across all regions and governorates.

This initiative is part of a strategic approach aimed at attracting high-value investments, creating fresh opportunities, and bolstering the contributions of the private sector alongside the public sector. The new opportunities are designed to promote sustainable economic impact, offering investors and developers the chance to utilize government land for a variety of developments, including agricultural, commercial, educational, and technological ventures. The move is expected to optimize land use and contribute to the advancement of Bahrain's food security sector.

Notable opportunities include a commercial property located within the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club in Hamad Town. This property, covering 6,232 square metres, is designated for a commercial complex. Additionally, 19 agricultural properties in Buri and Hoorat A'ali, ranging in size from 5,616.2 to 8,251.3 square metres, will be available for investment to boost agricultural activities in these key areas. The bidding period for these properties will remain open until May 11.

The newly offered investment opportunities also feature two plots in Al Qurain and Al Zallaq, located in the Southern Governorate. Each plot spans 40,000 square metres and is allocated for data centre development. Additionally, an educational investment plot in Arad, Muharraq Governorate, covering 12,451 square metres, has been earmarked for the establishment of a new school. The bidding process for these opportunities under the Ministry of Finance and National Economy will run until June 11.

Jamsheer has invited investors to explore these opportunities through the Government Land Investment Platform at investmentland.gov.bh, where detailed information on available properties can be found. Applications for these properties can be submitted through a public auction process.
