Real Estate Fundraising Shifts

Overall real estate fundraising volume slumped 50% year-on-year during the first quarter of 2026, yet the market showed signs of underlying health as a greater proportion of funds successfully met or surpassed their capital targets and achieved final close more swiftly. This rebalancing is partly attributable to the absence of giants like Blackstone and Brookfield, creating space for smaller managers to secure capital more efficiently. Elsewhere, CBRE Investment Management is actively re-engaging with the sector, appointing former Hines executive Paul White to lead its Europe Value Partners series, a fund category that has not seen a new vehicle since 2018.
