SEDCO Capital seals $145.5 million real estate transactions in the US
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 02 - 06 - 2015

JEDDAH — SEDCO Capital, a leading Saudi asset manager, announced three new realty deals worth $145.5 million, bolstering the firm's investments in the US.
Commenting on the deals, Hasan Al-Jabri, Chief Executive Officer of SEDCO Capital, said “these deals mark yet another milestone in our long and successful history of transactions in US real estate, which dates back to 1976. Our solid track record and successful ventures there have driven us to select the best players to partner with in the interest of our clients. These new deals underscore our powerful partnerships across the US where we aim to not only continue our legacy, but also bring excellent investment opportunities to our clients. A hallmark of SEDCO Capital's philosophy has been socially responsible investing and our adherence to the principles of Shariah makes this very seamless, distinguishing us from others. We continue our commitment to our investment philosophy of aligning our interests with our clients which includes the ‘partnership' concept of investing a minimum of 20% of our group's money in these properties.”
SEDCO Capital and Madison Marquette, a leading commercial real estate investment and operating company, have jointly acquired Coral Landings III, a 176,575-square-foot, neighborhood retail center in Coral Springs, Florida. The acquisition is the first in a programmatic joint venture that will target high-value retail, office, mixed-use and multi-family assets in compelling urban and infill US markets, where revenue potential can be enhanced with strategic leasing and repositioning. This particular investment program will also focus on Shariah-compliant real estate. Coral Landings III was 85 percent leased at the time of sale to national tenants that include Home Goods, Best Buy and Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft.
“We are excited about our partnership with SEDCO Capital in this joint venture to acquire Coral Landings III, a property that reflects our long-standing commitment to infill investments in dense, affluent markets with significant momentum and upside,” said Amer Hammour, Chairman of Madison Marquette. “This exciting retail property is ideally suited to our integrated investment and operating platform, and we look forward to building a significant portfolio of high-value assets together with SEDCO Capital,” he added.
Coral Landings is an important acquisition for Madison Marquette and SEDCO Capital's investment program, which will continue to focus on high-quality assets across the country, particularly where Madison Marquette has strong local investment and operating teams in place.
With the economic recovery well underway, job growth is set to increase discretionary spending by consumers and the well-timed exposure to the retail sector can be strategically beneficial for investors at this stage of the economic cycle.
Besides, SEDCO Capital and Kensington Realty Advisory, an investment manager based in Chicago, have jointly acquired The Village at the Woodlands Waterway in Texas, a 207-unit independent assisted living and memory care facility, completed in 2012.
Investing in Senior Housing, viewed as a core defensive sector, helps to bring stability to a portfolio especially when 77 million baby boomers in the US will plan to retire over the next 2 decades.
Moreover, SEDCO Capital and Lexington Realty Trust have formed a joint venture to enter a build-to-suit arrangement to acquire approximately 33 acres of land and construct a 274,000 square foot private school for the British International School of Houston. The joint venture has engaged Simpkins Group, Inc. as developer of the campus.
The parent of British Schools of America, LLC is Nord Anglia Education Inc.
Richard J. Rouse, Chief Investment Officer of Lexington, said: “Lexington is pleased with the recent growth of its long-term relationship with SEDCO Capital, which began in 1999. The British International School of Houston's build-to-suit transaction allows Lexington to invest in and manage a non-core investment while partnering with an exceptional partner and a quality tenant. We look forward to many future transactions with SEDCO Capital, the British Schools of America, LLC and Nord Anglia Education Inc.”
Since May 2012, Lexington and SEDCO Capital have co-invested in or agreed to co-invest in nine properties with a total acquisition cost of approximately $185 million.
SEDCO Capital's Chief Investment Officer Bernard Caralp said "we work with the best in-class managers and partners and engage ourselves in active asset management through an institutional approach. Our long-term and successful partnerships will further improve our capabilities to manage investments effectively with the ultimate goal to serve our clients in their best interests." — SG
