Brookfield has hired the former team behind KKR-backed Strategic Lease Partners to lead a long-term expansion into the net-lease sector. The move follows a $2.2bn exit from the asset class last year, signaling increased confidence in the market. The recruited team brings expertise in managing large-scale net-lease portfolios and has deep relationships with institutional investors.
Their experience at Strategic Lease Partners, which was backed by KKR, positions them well to accelerate Brookfield's growth strategy in net-lease assets. This strategic addition underscores Brookfield's commitment to strengthening its presence in the net-lease market, where demand from institutional investors remains robust. Industry analysts note that the hire reflects broader trends of increased capital allocation to net-lease real estate, driven by steady income yields and portfolio stability.
The team is expected to focus on identifying and acquiring high-quality net-lease properties across key sectors.
