“ARDCO was established by the virtue of a Royal Decree three decades ago to realize the vision of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman when he was the governor of Riyadh Province, which translated into unprecedent development projects in the capital. The company is determined to move forward banking on this rich legacy towards realizing the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the strategy that the Crown Prince had set out for Riyadh city, highlights of which had been announced in 2021. The acquisition comes as part of the board of directors’ plans to diversify the company’s real estate and investments portfolio. Given the building’s prime location, it is expected to help achieve the company’s investment targets, bolster its assets, and become one of many upcoming catalysts of its sustainable growth.”
“We are currently working on enhancing the performance of our assets under the real estate portfolio. We expect to reach our target returns in the coming years underpinned by our acquisition of assets with attractive returns and by improving the performance of our existing real estate assets. This, in turn, will enable us to enhance the average return on assets concurrently with the chances of improving the performance of the commercial building in the future through effective management of these investment assets,” the CEO further added.
