Real Estate Investment & M&A

CBRE Investment Management successfully garnered $2.1 billion for its seventh Asia value-add fund, securing commitments from 15 global limited partners, including the Finnish state pension fund, LACERA, and NZ Super. This capital raise contrasts with consolidation moves elsewhere, as Savills announced its $1.1 billion acquisition of Eastdil Secured to bolster its U.S. brokerage presence, while Fortress is reportedly exploring a new platform to market units in Delaware statutory trusts. Separately, ongoing cybersecurity concerns affecting digital infrastructure in the Middle East were a central theme at MIPIM, emphasizing the growing importance of data sovereignty across European real estate investments.
