On the local front, SEDCO Capital has been focusing on acquiring income-producing properties.
SEDCO Capital continues to invest in resources and capacities to build the Saudi real estate investment platform while capitalizing on the group’s existing and advanced capabilities in real estate developments and property management,” said Hasan Al-Jabri, CEO of SEDCO Capital.

During the past year and a half, SEDCO acquired properties in Houston, Atlanta, Palm Beach, Durham, Tallahassee and Chicago.
SEDCO Capital is active in growing the international portfolio by focusing on non-cyclical and defensive sectors in nature, including need-based retail, residential, industrial, medical/health care and senior and student housing.
Partnering with major real estate investment advisers and asset managers worldwide, SEDCO Capital adopts an investment strategy that secures long-term, risk-free returns. The Catalyst Student Apartments is one of SEDCO's most recent student housing projects.
Recently, on behalf of SEDCO Capital, Bentall Kennedy, one of North America’s largest real estate investment advisers, acquired Garrett West multifamily apartment in Durham, North Carolina.
"Over the years, the group has built up several relationships and first class expertise locally as well as internationally," Al-Jabri added.
