LOS ANGELES, 2015-7-3 — /EPR Retail News/ — CBRE Global Investors today announced the final closing of CBRE Strategic Partners U.S. Value 7, L.P., with equity commitments of more than $1.3 billion from 26 institutional investors in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Strategic Partners U.S. Value 7, which is now closed to new investors, is expected to have total purchasing power of more than $3.3 billion, including leverage. The fund has invested 75 percent of this amount, or $2.5 billion, in high-quality office, multifamily and hotel assets. Its office properties have executed leases on 760,000 square feet of space. The Strategic Partners U.S. program has raised $7.2 billion in equity in 10 funds in the past 15 years.
This fund is a continuation and evolution of CBRE Global Investors’ enhanced-return strategy in the U.S. The investment team is targeting value-added-level returns through investment in institutional-quality real estate at a discount to reproduction cost in U.S. markets that are expected to outperform the overall real estate market. Additionally the team is working to execute a market-leading value enhancement strategy that includes repositioning underperforming assets and improving occupancy levels through implementation of Strategic Partners’ signature tenant amenity programs, including 5-Star Worldwide for office buildings and Inspired Lifestyle for multi-family assets.
“We have a cycle-tested investment team that has already made substantial progress toward executing a disciplined and selective investment plan where we expect to be able to enhance value through our strong operations,” said Vance Maddocks, President of Strategic Partners U.S. “We thank our investors and their consultants for the confidence they have placed in us through their commitments to this fund.”
