Seef Properties B.S.C., founded in 1999 and listed on the Bahrain Bourse under the ticker SEEF, is a Bahraini integrated real estate developer and operator specializing in commercial, leisure, and recreational facilities. Its portfolio comprises three Seef Malls located in the Seef District, Muharraq, and Isa Town, the Al Liwan mixed-use development in Hamala, two Fraser Suites branded serviced apartment properties (Seef and Al Liwan), and a portfolio of entertainment venues including Magic Island indoor theme parks, the Jumpoline trampoline park, and the Hawa and Yabeela family entertainment centers. The company generates revenue primarily through retail and commercial space leasing across its mall portfolio, supplemented by hospitality income generated through the Fraser Suites arrangement and entertainment venue takings.
The company runs a B2B enterprise-leasing go-to-market, signing multi-year commercial lease agreements with international and local retail brands, hospitality operators, and entertainment providers.

Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing cycles for retail leasing, monthly cycles for hospitality, and transaction-fee models for entertainment. On the operating technology side, the portfolio is managed through Yardi's cloud-based real estate management platform, supplemented by the recently launched 'Sara' AI-powered WhatsApp assistant for customer engagement.
Headquartered in Manama with offices across the Seef District, Muharraq, Isa Town, and Hamala, Seef Properties serves a diversified base of B2B tenants, hospitality guests, and consumer shoppers, and has begun executing its first material regional expansion into Saudi Arabia through partnerships for a Dammam mixed-use project (with Majd Investment Company) and family entertainment centers (with AWJ Real Estate), alongside an active redevelopment of its flagship Seef Mall Seef District.
