Landbank procurement is the sourcing, structuring and financing of strategic land acquisitions that form a developer's future pipeline. A well-built land bank is a strategic asset — but it ties up capital, so the acquisition structure matters as much as the land itself.
Matchpoint Partners sources strategic development land for institutional developers and structures the acquisition vehicle and aligned financing — whether land acquisition debt, Sukuk, private credit or JV equity — across UAE markets including Saadiyat, Reem Island, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Islands and Marjan.

Original, data-driven research from our team, relevant to this area.
A developer's portfolio of land held for future development — a strategic pipeline.
Yes — via land acquisition finance, Sukuk, private credit or JV equity.
Most strategic plots change hands privately — through master developers, landowning families and government-linked sellers — rather than on the open market. Advisers with standing relationships surface these opportunities early, qualify title and pricing, and structure the approach so the developer negotiates from a credible, funded position.
Generally yes. Holding each plot in a dedicated LandCo keeps title clean, lets lenders or capital partners take security or equity at plot level, and ring-fences risk from the wider group. It also simplifies a later sale, JV or pledge of any single asset.
A land bank suits developers with a multi-year pipeline who want to lock in locations ahead of demand and control launch sequencing. Buying plot by plot suits opportunistic strategies with limited capital. The trade-off is carrying cost against pricing power and pipeline certainty.
Matchpoint structures the full capital stack for UAE developers — senior secured debt, mezzanine with LandCo control, project finance, land acquisition finance, Sukuk and private credit, plus JV equity and bulk inventory sales. Tickets range from USD 20m to USD 500m+.
Land acquisition finance is bridge or term debt to fund the purchase of development land before construction. We arrange programmes — including Sukuk and private credit at ~8.5%–12% target yields — for developers in Saadiyat, Reem Island, SZR and Dubai Islands.
A bulk inventory sale is the disposal of a block of completed or off-plan units to a single investor or institution at a negotiated discount. We run bulk SPA, OQOOD assignment and milestone-payment processes for developers seeking liquidity.
Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.
Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions, with equity tickets typically USD 5m–300m, debt USD 10m–500m+, real estate finance USD 20m–500m+, and fund placements for funds of USD 50m–1bn+.
