Australia's Goodman, UAE's Sorouh set up property JV

DUBAI, March 4 (Reuters) - Australian property trust Goodman (GMG.AX: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Abu Dhabi's Sorouh Real Estate SOR.AD said on Tuesday they agreed to form a joint venture company to build business and logistics zones in the Gulf Arab region.

The company will be based in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, the firms said in a statement on the Abu Dhabi bourse Web site. No financial details about the joint venture or its planned investments were given.
