AHS Properties Acquires Shangri-La Hotel for AED 1.1 Billion in Landmark Sheikh Zayed Road Transaction>

AHS Properties today announced the acquisition of Shangri-La Hotel for AED 1.1 billion, one of the largest single-asset real estate transactions recorded in recent history. Acquired from Mismak Asset Management, the transaction cements one of the most concentrated private-sector bets on Sheikh Zayed Road's next decade. The Shangri-La Hotel is a 43-floor, 200-metre tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, and was one of the first five-star hotels to open on the corridor when it was completed in 2003.

Together, these three assets form a vertical corridor play: AHS Tower, AHS City, and now Shangri-La Hotel. The combined footprint represents a significant share of AHS Properties' AED 50 billion year-end 2026 pipeline. “We did not buy a hotel.
