Real Estate & Infrastructure Capital

Fortress Investment Group is entering the private wealth space by launching a 1031 real estate exchange platform aimed at deploying capital into core-plus assets, signaling a shift for the New York-based firm. Concurrently, capital deployment within Asia-Pacific infrastructure remains heavily influenced by familiarity, as Limited Partners and General Partners favor common law jurisdictions where English-language contracts simplify cross-border governance. Meanwhile, the infrastructure pipeline shows significant activity, with ECP VI reaching $3.7 billion in fundraising, while EQT advanced into the UK water utility sector and data centers were cited as a path toward achieving lower electricity prices.
