Security Capital currently has ownership positions in 13 real estate businesses. The company plans to reposition or sell its investment in several of these businesses and focus its capital in those that hold one of the top two market positions in their specific niche and are able to create measurable brand value, as well as generate significant income from services and managed capital. Security Capital will build on the operating strengths of the remaining private divisions to achieve superior sustainable financial results. The principal offices of Security Capital and its directly owned affiliates are in Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, El Paso, Houston, London, Luxembourg, New York and Santa Fe.
