What ARKAN AL KUWAIT REAL ESTATE CO KSC does

Arkan Al Kuwait Real Estate Co KSC is a Kuwait-based real estate investment and property management firm that was established in 2003 and listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange in 2015. The company operates across property investment, property and facilities management, real estate advisory and feasibility studies, property appraisal, and a specialized air-conditioning subsidiary (Arkan AC). It manages a diversified book spanning commercial, residential, industrial, and medical real estate, with the company's own data disclosing KD 577 million of assets under management as of 2022 and 3,000+ units under management across the portfolio.

The company's revenue model combines (1) managed-services property and facility management fees for third-party portfolios, most notably the KD 425 million AlAwqaf Commercial Properties mandate that has been awarded and re-awarded through competitive government bidding, (2) recurring rental returns from KD 70 million of owned commercial, industrial, residential, and medical investment properties, (3) professional-services fees from feasibility studies, valuations, and advisory work, and (4) HVAC-related services through the Arkan AC subsidiary. Distribution is primarily domestic, executed through the Al-Hamra Tower headquarters office in Kuwait City, competitive bidding for public-sector mandates, a direct-to-tenant rent collection portal (arkanalkuwaitpayment.com), and social/web channels (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn). Reported revenue was KD 6.9 million in FY2023 (10% year-over-year growth), up from KD 6.3 million in FY2022 and KD 4.9 million in FY2020.

Customer segments span private-sector investors, government entities (especially AlAwqaf and Touristic Enterprises Company), and individual property owners. In October 2024 the Capital Markets Authority approved a merger by absorption with Al-Oula Real Estate Investment Company (which Arkan had first acquired a 46.34% stake in during 2022), and the merger was completed in April 2025, consolidating Arkan's Kuwaiti real estate footprint. Leadership is headed by Vice Chairman & CEO Abdulrahman Hamad Al-Terkait (CEO since 2016) and Chairman Fahad Abdulrahman Al-Mukhaizeem, with a CFO and two Deputy CEOs overseeing direct investment/business development and operations.
