Real Estate
Oman’s real estate market continues to evolve in both diversity and sophistication. Improved economic conditions, demographic growth and the country’s diversification strategy are driving the development of premium office space, residential communities, integrated tourism complexes, hotels and large-scale retail and mixed-use projects.
AMJ’s long-standing track record advising government authorities, lenders, borrowers, investors, developers and occupiers gives us deep insight into the industry and the regulatory environment governing real estate activity in the Sultanate.
Our real estate lawyers advise corporations, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, investment banks, real estate funds, hotel owners and operators, retailers, public sector bodies and developers on the full spectrum of real estate transactions — from development and financing to operation, management and dispute resolution.
Our expertise spans all aspects of real estate activity, including acquisitions and disposals, planning and development, PPP/PFI arrangements, construction and engineering, environmental and tax matters, joint ventures, equity investment structures, real estate debt financing, and commercial and industrial leasing.
As a market leader in Islamic finance, we are also highly experienced in structuring real estate transactions and financings using Shariah-compliant or hybrid conventional/Shariah-compliant structures.
We provide sector-specific advice on the regulatory frameworks applicable to real estate ownership in power and water, retail, infrastructure, integrated tourism complexes (ITCs) and economic free zones.
