ADQ, an Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company, and IHC Capital Holding, a subsidiary of International Holding Company, have submitted an offer to combine their shareholdings in Modon Properties into IHC’s Q Holding.
The proposed transaction would create one of the largest real estate, hospitality, events, and catering platforms in the region that would enhance Abu Dhabi’s position as an integrated real estate and hospitality leader, complementing the emirate’s economic transformation efforts.

“We firmly believe that the proposed transaction of consolidating Abu Dhabi’s leading tourism and real estate assets into Q holding will prove to be significantly beneficial to the growth and development of the industry. We envision this as a strategic alignment that will not only magnify our capacity for exceptional real estate development but also effectively bridge the gap between tourism and real estate sectors that is poised for further growth and expansion.”
H.E. Excellency Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, UAE Minister of Investment and MD and CEO at ADQ said that, “This proposed offer provides a unique opportunity to generate value by bringing together key real estate and hospitality assets, creating an Abu Dhabi champion that fuels its ambitions. The combined assets would benefit from increased scale and new revenue opportunities that will position it well for future growth.”
The consolidation of assets offers diversification benefits, by mitigating industry-specific risks and securing more investment opportunities, as well as enhancing supply chain efficiencies that will improve profitability.
The larger balance sheet and robust cash flows will deliver the combined entity with increased financial flexibility, enabling more strategic investments, debt reduction, and potential shareholder distributions. The accumulated benefits of this combination would be directly available to public investors, positioning the new Q Holding as an attractive value proposition for future investment.
Upon closing of the proposed transaction, Q Holding will issue to ADQ and IHC Capital a convertible instrument that would convert into approximately 9,491 million ordinary shares in the capital of Q Holding, as per the statement.
