Real Estate Investment

Starwood Capital has closed its thirteenth flagship real estate fund at $10.2 billion, exceeding its $10 billion target. The fund's launch in 2023 occurred in a challenging market, but it ultimately garnered significant momentum over the past year. In parallel, Centuria Capital secured approximately A$268 million in equity from a Japanese investor for a single-asset office fund in Sydney. This capital will be used to acquire a 50% stake in two World Square precinct properties. Meanwhile, Australian superannuation fund Aware Super made its first commitment to student housing, pledging €426 million to a venture that will also mark its initial exposure to German real estate. Adding to its capital relationships, Urban Partners appointed Jennifer Andersson, formerly of Niam, as its North American investor relations lead to deepen its ties with US and Canadian investors. Finally, PERE’s inaugural placement agent ranking provides an overview of the largest real estate capital advisory firms based on equity raised.

Infrastructure Investment

Samsung Asset Management is increasing its exposure to infrastructure, with a particular focus on energy-related opportunities. The Korean government’s investment manager is expanding its risk appetite in the sector. Separately, the Indian government has contributed nearly half the capital required for NIIF's second infrastructure fund. The fund is targeting $3.5 billion, with its first close reportedly imminent.

Private Equity & Healthcare

Arlington Capital Partners has agreed to sell Riverpoint Medical to Novanta. This transaction marks a divestment for the healthcare-focused private equity firm.
