Fundraising Momentum Secured $5bn for its flagship private‑real‑estate vehicle, Kayne Anderson demonstrated that institutional appetite remains robust despite higher borrowing costs. The Los‑Angeles manager’s close coincided with record €1.5bn raise by Stoneshield, which set a Southern‑European benchmark for its fourth opportunity fund after a six‑month roadshow. Together, the two closures push total capital deployment in the sector beyond $6.5bn in the past week, signalling that investors still favor diversified real‑estate platforms that can navigate tightening credit markets.

Hybrid Storage Strategy Positioned self‑storage as a dual‑play asset, Newmark’s Andrew Allen highlighted that investors are increasingly treating European self‑storage as both a property and an operating platform. By blending debt, equity and structured‑finance structures, managers aim to capture stable rental yields while leveraging the sector’s growing e‑commerce‑driven demand. The approach reflects a broader trend toward hybrid investment models that seek higher risk‑adjusted returns in a low‑yield environment.
