SEDCO Capital Purchases FexEx Ground Distribution Center in Niles (Chicago), IL

Property purchased through separate account managed by ElmTree Funds

ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SEDCO Capital (“SEDCO”), a leading Saudi Arabian Asset Manager, today
announced that it has purchased in May 2019 a FedEx Ground-leased
distribution facility in the Niles submarket of Chicago, Illinois. The
property was purchased via a separate account managed by ElmTree Funds,
LLC (“ElmTree”), a leading real estate private equity firm.

Sherif Selim, Managing Director at SEDCO, commented, “We are very
pleased with the outcome of this transaction and are excited about the
long-term prospects for this asset. We like the Northeast Cook County,
one of the most stable and established logistics submarkets in the
Chicago area with excellent connectivity to Chicago CBD and the airport.”

The 306,448 SF facility is located at 5959 West Howard Street.
Originally constructed in 2015 as a build-to-suit for FedEx Ground, the
net-leased property supports distribution in the surrounding markets and
features 101 dock high doors on a 39.81 acre site.

“The high quality nature of this asset together with its ideal location
and remaining lease term with a blue-chip tenant made it a very
attractive investment opportunity,” said Jim Koman, CEO of ElmTree Funds.

The property, which has approximately 11.0 years remaining on its lease
with FedEx, is expected to perform well over the long-term due to strong
market fundamentals as well as its ideal location within the Chicago MSA.
