CBRE Global Investors Closes U.S. Value Added Fund
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CBRE Global Investors today announced the final closing of CBRE Strategic Partners U.S. Value 6, L.P., with equity commitments of nearly $1.1 billion from 22 institutional investors in the United States and Europe, exceeding its target of $750 million. The fund, which is now closed to new investors, is expected to have total purchasing power of $2.7 billion.
Strategic Partners U.S. Value 6 is a continuation and evolution of CBRE Global Investors' enhanced-return strategy in the U.S. The investment team will target value-added-level returns through investment in institutional-quality properties judged to have above-average return potential in highly-rated major metropolitan areas across the United States. Strategies include repositioning underperforming assets and improving occupancy levels through implementation of Strategic Partners' signature tenant amenity programs, including 5-Star Worldwide for office buildings and Red Carpet for multi-family assets.
"We have a proven investment team that has demonstrated the ability to identify assets and markets where value can be enhanced through strong operations," said Vance Maddocks, President of Strategic Partners U.S. "We sincerely appreciate the partnership we have with our investors and their consultants and the confidence they have placed in us through their commitments to this fund."
The Strategic Partners U.S. program, which was founded in 2000, has closed eight funds and three co-investment partnerships, raising $5.6 billion in total.
