Zawya - Press Releases: Emirates NBD Bank closes a loan facility deal with CPI Property Group
Dubai/Luxembourg, [21] May 2026 – Emirates NBD, the leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey, and CPI Property Group, one of Europe’s leading real estate companies, announced the successful completion of a AED 367.3 million (approximately €86 million) bank loan facility to finance a portfolio of luxury residential units in Dubai.
CPI Property owns 19 luxury residential units in Dubai, 15 of which are still under construction by some of the city’s leading developers. These properties are spread across four of the city’s most prestigious residential projects: the Bulgari Lighthouse on Jumeirah Bay Island, Casa Canal and One Canal on the Dubai Water Canal, and Mr. C Residences Downtown in Downtown Dubai.
The aforementioned banking facility will be used to cover a significant portion of the deferred payments due on CPI Property Group’s development portfolio during 2026 and 2027, reflecting Emirates NBD’s confidence in the quality of the Group’s real estate assets and its credibility as a borrower.
CPI Property’s investment in the UAE reflects its deep belief in Dubai’s continued position as a preferred destination for high-net-worth individuals seeking luxury residences. This is driven by the emirate’s excellent infrastructure, safe environment, vibrant economy, and extensive global connectivity, as well as the UAE’s growing role as a leading global business and investment hub. CPI Property plans to sell these properties in phases upon completion to achieve attractive returns in a market that continues to attract buyers from Europe, Asia, and the wider Middle East region.
This transaction also reinforces Emirates NBD's position as a preferred and trusted financial partner for global real estate companies seeking to enter the UAE market, providing tailored local financing solutions to support their needs. The banking facility was structured in line with the cash flows and asset lifecycle within CPI Property Group's phased investment strategy. The bank's consideration of these factors contributes to attracting global capital towards Dubai's luxury residential real estate market, further solidifying the UAE's position as a leading destination for high-net-worth individuals seeking global real estate investments.
On this occasion, David Greenbaum, CEO of CPI Property Group, said: "We are delighted to be collaborating with Emirates NBD on this innovative transaction that enhances our group's resilience and underscores the quality of our investments in Dubai."
Hitesh Asarputa, CEO of Emirates NBD Capital, said: “The banking facility provided to CPI Property Group reflects Emirates NBD’s ongoing commitment to supporting leading companies by providing tailored financing solutions to enable their long-term growth. This transaction also embodies our outstanding expertise in structuring strategic loan facilities and reinforces confidence in the resilience of the UAE’s financial system and the continued momentum of regional investment.”
This deal adds to Emirates NBD’s impressive track record of providing tailored financing solutions to suit the various stages of the real estate investment cycle, further cementing its position as a preferred partner for global investors looking to invest in the UAE.
