We invest in urban markets that are major gateway cities in the United States including New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, Philadelphia and Austin.

Nahla is a word derived from Arabic and associated with honey bees, in reference to the way bees remove nectar from a flower. The honey bee is the most important of creatures, underpinning the sustenance of life; as bees extract the nectar from flowers, likewise we aim to extract the best value and opportunities from our investments for our partners.
