Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company (Edamah) has signed a 10-year lease agreement worth $7 million with Trident Warehousing for an 8,137 sq m facility at Sitra Industrial Park.

Edamah, the real estate arm of the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, said the agreement was signed with the support of the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB).

As per the deal, Edamah will be working with Trident Warehousing and their business associate Hoover Circular Solutions, to create a facility that is suitable for their technical and operational requirements in order to increase their efficiency and production capability and support the delivery of the supply chain to their customers.

There is an increasing demand for industrial facilities, and we are happy to have supported Edamah and Trident in this partnership."

Sitra Industrial Park includes a number of facilities for industrial, commercial, and logistical use, with the option of tailoring facilities according to tenants’ requirements.

The 87,382-sq-m park will initially expand to include an additional 8,000 sq m in the near future to accommodate the increasing demand in this industrial sector.
