GFH Partners, the real estate arm of Bahrain’s GFH Financial Group, has quietly pulled off a decisive play in the UAE property arena, snapping up a controlling stake in Devmark Real Estate Brokers. No fanfare, no financial breadcrumbs left behind—just a strategic stride meant to widen its footprint across one of the region’s most competitive markets.
Devmark has long styled itself as the launchpad behind some of the UAE’s most ambitious developments, steering sales and marketing efforts for projects collectively valued at more than AED 10 billion. Its network is sprawling—more than 2,000 brokerage firms, anchored by over 15,000 brokers who keep the sales engine humming.
GFH Partners, headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre, brings its own heft to the table with roughly $7 billion in assets under management across the US, UK and GCC. With Devmark now folded into its portfolio, the firm looks poised to sharpen its reach, deepen its market influence, and accelerate its push across the global real estate landscape.
