Real Estate & Infrastructure Funding

Investment activity across real assets saw private equity firms adjust strategies amid shifting return profiles, with Carmel Partners raising $1.35 billion for its ninth US multifamily fund, focusing on acquiring and upgrading existing properties rather than ground-up construction. Concurrently, infrastructure capital continued to pile in, as Nuveen’s EPIC II fund neared a $2 billion second close toward its overall $2.5 billion target, while InfraVia substantially increased its power sector exposure via a new deal. Meanwhile, the burgeoning focus on sustainability within real assets was demonstrated by Galvanize tying management fees to emission targets within its debut $370 million real estate fund, aiming for operational net zero status within three years of asset acquisition.

Sector Regulation & Development

The rapid expansion of digital infrastructure is facing regulatory pushback, as numerous state and local governments across the US seek to impose moratoriums on data centre construction, aiming to gain greater oversight over development pace and siting decisions. This regulatory scrutiny contrasts with the steady flow of capital into established infrastructure managers, even as firms like Foresight announced a new head of real assets to manage evolving mandates.
