Real Estate Fundraising & Capital

Digital Realty pushed ahead with private fundraising, with CEO Andy Power emphasizing that capital raising is "critical to the success of our company" as the data center REIT pursues multi-series, multi-region fundraising opportunities. This capital-intensive approach comes as the residential sector undergoes a fundamental underwriting reset, with investors relying less on cheap debt and more on income growth, stronger asset selection, and disciplined capital management. The shift in strategy is reflected across the broader living sector, where PERE data indicates investors continue targeting living sectors despite changing market conditions.

Residential Living Trends

Co-living platforms are scaling rapidly as demand intensifies in major gateway cities, with operators and investors increasingly embracing shared housing models. This trend is complemented by the growing adoption of proptech solutions across multifamily properties, where AI and IoT systems are being treated as essential infrastructure rather than optional add-ons. The broader residential opportunity set continues to expand beyond traditional multifamily into diversified living sectors, driven by demographic changes and persistent supply-demand imbalances. In particular, purpose-built student accommodation emerges as a high-potential segment across Europe and Asia-Pacific, though operational expertise is becoming increasingly critical for investors.

Impact & Sustainable Investing

As environmental metrics evolve beyond branding, investors are focusing on concrete benchmarks and regulatory certainty to capture value in green real estate opportunities. This shift is particularly relevant in the affordable housing sector, where development projects remain challenging to make "pencil" despite acute accommodation needs and increasing availability of private capital. Meanwhile, new research from the Multifamily Impact Council and NYU validates the financial case for impact investing, finding that resident services, engagement, and sustainability initiatives positively influence net operating income. In Europe, care homes are positioning themselves as the next growth play, with established operators achieving scale to capture long-term opportunities in the region.

Specialty Real Estate

The historic Cameron House on the shore of Loch Lomond changed hands in a notable transaction after reopening in 2021 following a deadly fire, highlighting the continued interest in unique hospitality and heritage properties despite market challenges.

Healthcare Investment

Albaron Partners successfully closed its flagship fund with $185 million, achieving an oversubscribed result for Albaron Healthcare Opportunities I. The healthcare-focused fund, founded in 2017 and based in New York, signals strong investor appetite for specialized healthcare real estate opportunities as the sector continues to attract institutional capital.
