The Bukhowa Group is a family-owned international investment and operating group active in real estate development, property management, restaurant operations, and US military contracting. Founded in 1984, the group maintains offices in Bahrain, Djibouti, Dubai and the United States and operates an integrated platform that includes franchised restaurants and facilities management on US Navy bases. The firm’s real estate activity spans employee housing to luxury seafront homes and the group operates more than 180 restaurants across its markets. Corporate holdings are organized across four principal companies: Bukhowa International, Bukhowa Military Development, East African Development Company, and Dar Al Hayat Leasing and Management. The Bukhowa Group structures activity through direct development, property management and operating contracts rather than through named public funds or REITs. The firm’s combination of long-established family ownership, cross-border real estate development and direct experience managing dining and support contracts for the US military makes it a potential strategic partner for sponsors seeking regional real estate joint ventures or operationally integrated service arrangements.
