Our Divisions

iB was created in 2005 to service a noticable gap in the real estate advisory sector, targeting institutions and professional investors with real estate development and investment portfolios throughout MENA. iB's strategy is to service the market by marrying local market intelligence and networks with international execution expertise to provide thoughtful and defensible research, analysis and recommendations. iB's unique “advisory only model” allows it to build long term relationships as trusted advisors, providing fair and balanced reviews and action plans without being compromised by commission based structures. 

iB's team of real estate and financial professionals have both regional and international experience so as to be able to apply best market practices and norms in a local context.  In addition to the team's georgraphic breadth of experience, iB professionals have specializations in the various asset classes as well as proven business accumen in areas such as captial structuring and fund raising, feasibility and financial modeling, and asset management and portfolio optimisation. 

Given its heritage as regional company, iB has a keen understanding of both the challenges and benefits of operating in the local market.  Two of the greatest obstacles to doing business are access to reliable data and credibility within local trusted networks.  To this end, iB carefully crafted its business model across the real estate value chain migrating from Research to IVSC/RICS Valautions and then progressing into Advisory Serivices and Investment Management.
