Ali Rao, CEO of Stravion Investment Advisory, has been named Rank #18 on the prestigious Construction Week Power 150 List 2026 — one of the most authoritative rankings in the construction and real estate industry across the Middle East and beyond.

At the helm of Stravion Investment Advisory, Ali Rao has positioned the firm as a strategic bridge between real estate developers and capital providers across the UAE and select international markets, including London and the Maldives. The firm’s core expertise spans acquisition advisory, joint ventures, project exits, development planning, capital raising, structured finance, strategic advisory, and bulk real estate transactions, covering the full lifecycle of real estate investment and development.

Over the past year, Stravion has advised on a wide range of high-value transactions, including land acquisitions, development financing, joint venture structures, and bulk asset deals. A standout mandate included the structuring and closure of AED 125 million in funding for a major developer within just six days — reflecting the firm’s ability to execute under compressed timelines with precision and speed.

The firm has recorded 125% year-on-year growth, driven by rising demand for specialised real estate advisory and capital solutions. Stravion also supports clients in navigating ESG, governance, and regulatory frameworks to ensure transparency and institutional readiness.
