The Sultan Global Group’s Infrastructure, Development, and Resiliency (IDR) Practice matches investors to opportunities in infrastructure construction while ensuring the development and execution of the project are done in a resilient, sustainable, cost-effective, and integrated manner.

SGG’s efforts begin in Houston, a city identifying new solutions to address resiliency challenges in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey and other severe weather events over the past few years.

As Houston examines new solutions to its challenges, SGG believes that this city along with others should use the opportunity not only to improve resiliency but to build new infrastructure and commercial buildings to accommodate future growth.

Already America’s largest exporting city, Houston will continue to welcome more traffic and citizens due to the expansion of the Panama Canal, the shale revolution and other economic developments so it must be ready to handle a growing population with infrastructure and commercial upgrades.

For Houston to maintain its global hub status, the city must continually upgrade its infrastructure to match Dubai, Singapore, Shanghai and other cities which identity as global hubs.

While we seek to rebuild Houston, SGG understands the ground realities – particularly the financial challenges faced by the city. In this regard, we will use our differentiating strength – the ability to reach into our global network of potential investors to match these investors’ interests in projects in Houston.

SGG reaches deep into in-country networks to bring an array of international investors – banks, sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, insurance companies, high net-worth individuals and other financial institutions – to closely examine potential infrastructure and commercial projects in Houston, thus, alleviating financial pressure on the city.

All of these projects are initiated with the intention of not just rebuilding the city, but also generating revenue for the city. And while SGG will be involved in project development, we will also develop conventional project funding options and arrangements such as public-private partnerships in addition to examining innovative solutions such as cryptocurrency.

While new infrastructure and commercial projects for Houston present challenges for the city, they also present opportunities for the private and public sector and government entities. SGG’s IDR practice helps clients identify, plan, finance, deliver and operate infrastructure and commercial projects that deliver economic and social value while ensuring resiliency.
