What Edamah does

Edamah (officially Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company) is the wholly owned real estate development and asset management arm of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, the Kingdom's sovereign wealth fund. Established in 2006 and headquartered in Bahrain Bay, Manama, the company develops, manages, and invests in a diversified national portfolio spanning leisure, hospitality, retail, industrial, residential, and — increasingly — agricultural assets. Its flagship project is the 1.6 million m² Bilaj Al Jazayer integrated beachfront destination, complemented by Tivoli Residences (150 branded beachfront units), Reef Mall (45,000 m²), Sa'ada Waterfront (13,112 m², Muharraq heritage district), the 87,382 m² Sitra Industrial Park, and joint-venture hospitality assets including the 712,000 m² Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain Resort & Spa and the Hawar Resort by Mantis.

Edamah operates across three engagement tiers: wholly owned projects (Reef Mall, Sitra Industrial Park, Sharwa Complex), managed projects (Sitra Mall, Riyadat Mall), and joint ventures with strategic partners (Jumeirah, Mantis/Accor, Tivoli, Sunset Hospitality Group, GFH Financial Group, Badia Farms). Revenue is generated through one-time residential property sales (Tivoli Residences starting at BD 84,240), recurring retail, commercial, and industrial leasing, and fee-based asset management, development management, property management, and advisory services. Buyer financing is facilitated through bank partnerships with Al Salam Bank and BBK. Distribution runs through direct sales and leasing teams, dedicated project websites, the corporate site (edamah.com), annual Cityscape Bahrain exhibitions, press, and the November 2025-launched interactive investment platform.

Underlying capabilities include sustainable design and ESG-integrated development practices, in-house master-planning (Bilaj Al Jazayer designed with AECOM), and operational technology partnerships — notably Wavegarden Cove wave-generation technology for the MENA-first Bahrain Surf Park. The company employs 11–50 staff, is governed by a Board chaired by Mumtalakat's CEO H.E. Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, and is led operationally by CEO Khaled Abdulrahman Al Majed (appointed March 2025).
