Real Estate & Infrastructure Investment

Starwood Capital has closed its latest flagship real estate fund, Fund XIII, at $10.2 billion, exceeding its $10 billion target. The fund's launch in 2023 occurred during a challenging real estate market, but it attracted significant momentum over the past year. In a move to deepen its capital relationships in North America, Urban Partners appointed former Niam executive Jennifer Andersson as its investor relations lead for the US and Canada. Meanwhile, Australian super fund Aware Super made its first commitment to student housing, pledging €426 million to a venture that also marks its entry into the German real estate market.

Centuria, an ASX-listed firm, has secured approximately A$268 million in equity from Japanese investors for a single-asset office fund in Sydney. This capital will be used to acquire a 50% stake in properties within the city's World Square precinct. In the infrastructure sector, Samsung Asset Management is looking to increase its exposure, with a particular focus on energy-related opportunities, as it expands its risk appetite. The Indian government is also nearing the first close of the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund's (NIIF) second infrastructure fund, having contributed nearly half the capital required to meet the fund's $3.5 billion target.

Private Equity & Asset Management

Arlington Capital Partners has agreed to sell Riverpoint Medical to Novanta, marking a significant transaction in the healthcare and life sciences private equity space. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Riverpoint Medical specializes in minimally invasive surgical device components. This divestiture by Arlington Capital Partners signals continued activity in the sector, with firms seeking strategic exits for their portfolio companies.
