Infrastructure & Real Assets Fundraising

Private markets saw significant activity in infrastructure and real estate fundraising, with EQT Real Estate closing its fifth European logistics value-add fund, which currently stands as the largest global private real estate fund launched this year. Separately, JEN Partners successfully hard-capped its latest vehicle at $900 million, while CapitaLand Investment secured a substantial S$2.4 billion direct real estate investment mandate from Income Insurance. In related infrastructure news, Equis is initiating a management-led recapitalization process, following a previous unsuccessful attempt to sell its Asia-Pacific renewable energy platform last year.

Data Centers & Energy Transition

The maturation of specialized asset classes is becoming apparent, as the data center sector, a decade removed from its initial renewable energy focus, appears ready for yieldco creation, with speculation mounting over whether Blackstone’s planned IPO of its data center stableco could ignite a new wave of similar publicly traded vehicles. Meanwhile, the U.S. government is offering refunds totaling $885 million to GIP and CPP for two offshore wind leases acquired in 2022, contingent upon the investors redirecting those capital commitments toward liquefied natural gas (LNG) investments instead.
