Arcapita Capital Company, a subsidiary of global alternative investment firm Arcapita Group Holdings Limited, have agreed with Flow Progressive Logistics an end-to-end supply chain management company, part of Alsulaiman Group, to develop a modern class A logistics complex in Riyadh.
Under the terms of the partnership, Arcapita will develop an 80,000 square meter mixed-use storage complex.
The facility will feature various storage options, including cold storage, dry storage, temperature-controlled facilities, as well as specialized spaces for pharmaceutical and hazardous goods.
