Investcorp, a leading global provider and manager of alternative investment products, has announced that it has acquired a portfolio of five, 96% occupied multifamily residential properties comprising 1,854 units across three key US suburban markets for $330 million.
This latest acquisition expands Investcorp’s robust footprint in US multifamily real estate, where it has been one of the most active international buyers and sellers, including having recently sold more than $1 billion in US multifamily real estate assets.
In 2014, Investcorp narrowed its strategic focus to target what it believes to be the most resilient sectors of real estate, multifamily and industrial, which currently represent 90% of the firm’s US real estate portfolio.
Following this transaction, Investcorp’s US multifamily real estate portfolio now stands at over 14,000 units across 40 properties.
Khulood Ebrahim, Real Estate Product Specialist at Investcorp, said: "We are excited to further enhance our significant multifamily real estate footprint in the US with these stable, highly-occupied properties in key suburban areas."
