Real Estate

Like many locally-owned conglomerates, Dutco has always had a special affinity for real estate. In the late 1970s the founding shareholders began to build up a very selective portfolio of international properties in prime locations in the USA, UK and Canada.

In keeping with the Group’s underlying ethos of prudence and wealth accretion, these were acquired with the intention of being held for the long-term : short-term “flipping” has never been our style, and consequently many of the early acquisitions remain in our portfolio. Over the years this has gradually expanded to include several other commercial properties overseas, in particular in the USA, as well as numerous assets in Dubai, where the focus has tended to be on residential developments.
