Through its dedication to delivering innovative and diversified Shariah-compliant investment solutions that align with the needs of its clients, InvestGB continues to build strategic relationships with world-class partners to broaden its offerings and create access to unique investment opportunities across key sectors.
Since the launch of the partnership, InvestGB has successfully committed to investments across the U.S. real estate market, with a strategic focus on the light industrial and student housing sectors. Alongside Investcorp, the firm has invested in a diversified portfolio of industrial assets and student housing beds in key markets across multiple offerings.

Investcorp is among the top 5 largest cross-border buyers of US real estate over the past five years, according to Real Capital Analytics. The firm’s US real estate strategy invests primarily in the industrial and residential sectors, which collectively represent 98% of the firm’s US real estate portfolio, making it the perfect partner for InvestGB’s ambitions.

Mohammed AlSada, Managing Director at Investcorp, commented: “Over the last thirty years, Investcorp Real Estate has grown into one of the most active global real estate investment managers in the industry. Within the student housing sector alone, we have owned and managed approximately 20,000 beds across roughly 30 investments. Our strategic approach targets core-plus and light-value-add real estate investments throughout the US that generate strong cash flows while providing potential for capital appreciation through light-value-add opportunities and active management. Our partnership with InvestGB has been a fruitful one, and we are delighted to build upon it further and continue to acquire such assets”.
