Oman Commercial Real Estate Market Analysis

The Oman Commercial Real Estate Market size is estimated at USD 7.68 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 11.70 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.78% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

  • COVID-19 severely impacted the Oman commercial real estate sector, as the office sector in Muscat experienced declined demand due to pandemic restrictions. However, despite the disruption, the market recovered from 2021 to 2022.
  • The commercial real estate market is experiencing significant growth, such as potential growth of the hospitality and travel sector due to relaxed restrictions and vaccine roll-out, the development of traditional office space dedicated to startups and new companies, and the introduction of new co-working spaces in the Sultanate.
  • Under Vision 2040, the Omani government is inviting more investment flows into the commercial real estate sector. Furthermore, investment opportunities are growing in the hospitality and industrial sectors and attracting developers with tax breaks, reduced rent, fast-tracked licenses, and duty waivers.
  • In addition, The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP) initiated a program with more than 50 different investment opportunities in May 2021 to attract investments worth USD 520 Million into the industrial sector. This initiative further accelerates countries' economies with an increase in GDP.
  • Furthermore, Oman's Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madyan) is planning six new industrial cities to develop 50 million square meters of new acreage for industrial investment under Vision 2040. These new clusters are coming up at Mahas, Ibri, Shinas, Marmul, Thamrait, and Al Mudhaibi.

Oman Commercial Real Estate Market Trends

Hospitality sector witnessing lucrative growth

The hospitality sector was the worst hit by the pandemic due to the implementation of COVID-19 protocols such as travel restrictions and social distancing. Now, the sector is in the recovery phase but has not reached the pre-pandemic levels.

Moreover, to attract new investments into the sector, the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) announced the restructuring of its tourism and real estate investments in the Sultanate by transferring them to the Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN Group), now a subsidy of OIA. This program aims at developing the tourism sector, enhancing management in tourism and hospitality real estate investments, aligning with the vision 2040 plan, and achieving economic diversification as well as integration with the private sector.

Vision 2040 seeks to boost tourism's share of GDP to 10% by 2040, generate 535,000 new jobs in the tourism industry, attract 11 million international and domestic tourists, and reach 14 million room nights by 2040. The planned system of clusters is an essential component of the overall Oman Tourism Strategy. Each cluster consists of well-served groups of attractions, with plenty of accommodation, a transport network, tourist amenities, and services.

  • The Ministry of Transport, communications & Information Technology has revived plans to improve road infrastructure, including a causeway to Masirah Island and a new road between Al Batinah and Jabal Akhdar.
  • The government plans to develop a national railway network and create a metro system in Muscat. The Ministry of Housing & Urban Planning has launched tenders for smart city developments in Seeb, Salalah, Nizwa & Sohar, and a mixed-use project in Jabal Akhdar.
  • Muscat International Airport has a capacity of over 20 million passengers per year. The airport expansion project aims to make Oman an aviation hub in the region and to increase tourism in the country.
  • Oman is investing in its railway infrastructure, including the building of the 2,244 km long Oman National Railway. This railway network will link the major cities of Oman and the ports of the country, improving connectivity, increasing trade, and reducing road traffic.
