Stonepeak Acquires Logistics Portfolio in Fort Worth, Texas

Stonepeak

NEW YORK, NY – August 26, 2025 – Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, today announced the acquisition of two logistics assets totaling 748 thousand square feet in Fort Worth, Texas.

The assets are strategically located in the Alliance submarket of Dallas-Fort Worth (“DFW”), which is anchored by two Class I rail lines, the BNSF Alliance intermodal terminal, and the Fort Worth Alliance cargo airport, all of which have direct access to the I-35 “NAFTA highway” linking Mexico to Canada. The Alliance submarket’s transport infrastructure is supported by DFW’s population of over 8 million residents, which is expected to grow by 3x the national average through 2030.

“We are excited to add these assets to our growing portfolio and to expand our footprint in DFW,” said Phill Solomond, Senior Managing Director and Head of Real Estate at Stonepeak. “We believe that high-quality real estate adjacent to transport infrastructure will continue to outperform given its mission-critical role in local and national supply chains.”

Barti Raises $12M Series A to Accelerate AI-Powered EHR for Eye Care

Five-Elms

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, August 25, 2025 – Barti Software, a leading AI-powered company that provides innovative electronic health records (EHR) and practice management software built for eye care practices, announced a $12 million Series A investment led by Five Elms Capital. This partnership will enable Barti to scale its go-to-market efforts, grow its team across key functions, and accelerate development of new AI capabilities and workflow automation as Barti expands into ophthalmology. The company will also continue expanding its integrated features to drive greater efficiency for practices and solidify its position as the complete solution for modern eye care.

Co-founded by an optometrist, Barti is built to solve the pain points eye care practitioners face by providing an end-to-end operating system that unifies clinical, operational, and financial workflows – empowering practitioners to focus on caring for their patients with fewer clicks, systems, and administrative needs. “As an optometrist, I’ve seen how software can get in the way of patient care. We built Barti to change that experience and bring the focus back to patient care and the doctor–patient relationship,” said Kelly Cai, OD, COO and Co-Founder of Barti. Eye care practices face mounting pressure from staffing shortages, shrinking reimbursements, and growing online competition – all while juggling disconnected legacy systems that limit growth and burn out providers.

With unique and industry-first functionality, including an AI Scribe tailored for eye care, a native phone/VoiP system, and website management, Barti brings first-of-its-kind software that solves these challenges.

“Today, the eye care industry takes a massive leap forward,” said Colton Calandrella, CEO and Co-Founder of Barti. “This is one of the last sectors of healthcare still burdened with legacy systems. Instead of waiting a decade for modern tools to trickle in, providers using Barti now have access to the latest developments in AI designed specifically for optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists.”

With more than 200 practices onboarded in the past three years, Barti has quickly emerged as a leader in eye care technology. Barti is also the first and only company invested in by AOAExcel, the for-profit subsidiary of the American Optometric Association (AOA) delivering member benefits to support optometry practices.

“Our goal is to automate 80%+ of routine admin work through our tools, including AI agents, to enable practitioners to prioritize patient care without being bogged down by tedious administrative tasks,” Calandrella added. “Our AI Agents are quickly approaching the capability to do everything from handling calls, optimizing inventory and pricing, scrubbing and submitting insurance claims, and analyzing clinical images. By 2027, practices will look and sound completely different, with doctors using their voice to manage most of their work and eliminate repetitive tasks. Our goal has always been to provide a business in a box for modern eye care practices using our unique combination of Silicon Valley tech and deep industry expertise. This partnership with Five Elms enables us to double down on that vision by dramatically accelerating our product roadmap, scaling to more practices across the country, and leading the charge into the era of AI.”

“Barti is bringing real product depth to a space long underserved by legacy software,” said Ryan Mandl, Partner at Five Elms Capital. “By embedding AI into the core of its platform, not as a bolt-on but as a foundational layer, Barti delivers automation that feels native to how modern practices work. We’re excited to support their next phase of growth as they continue transforming how providers operate, scale, and serve patients.”

 

About Barti Software

Barti is on a mission to transform the technology that runs eye care practices. With AI at its core, Barti’s EHR and practice management platform unifies clinical charting, scheduling, billing, phones, payments, marketing, and more into one streamlined system. By eliminating 10+ disconnected tools, Barti empowers eye doctors and staff to operate more efficiently, make smarter business decisions, and spend more time with patients and less time clicking.

CapMan Real Estate acquires 262-unit multifamily housing development project in Stockholm

CapMan Real Estate, through its third value-add fund CapMan Nordic Real Estate III (“CMNRE III”, the “Fund”), has signed an agreement with leading Swedish residential developer Reliwe to forward fund the development of a 262-unit multifamily housing project in Greater Stockholm in Handen, Haninge. The project comprises 12,119 m2 of lettable area and is expected to be completed in Q2 2028. The construction of the development will be carried out by Consto.

Located in the heart of Handen, just south of central Stockholm, the development is part of a broader revitalisation of the town centre surrounding Handen’s railway station and bus terminal. The location benefits from the immediate proximity to Haninge Shopping Centre as well as Handen Station, offering a 20-minute commute to Stockholm city centre. The area is undergoing a significant transformation and is characterised by a structural undersupply of modern rental housing.

The project is designed to meet ambitious sustainability standards and will feature BREEAM In-Use and Miljöbyggnad Silver certifications, a minimum EPC rating of B, on-site renewable energy through solar panels, while also targeting EU Taxonomy alignment.

“This acquisition marks another important milestone in scaling our residential strategy in Stockholm. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Reliwe and Consto by delivering another high-quality project together. They are trusted partners to us, bringing deep local expertise and a proven track record,” says Pontus Danielsson, Investment Manager at CapMan Real Estate.

“We continue to actively pursue compelling opportunities for both our value-add funds and our core residential fund. Our deal pipeline remains robust, and we find the current market timing particularly favorable for deploying capital into sustainable high-quality residential investments in the Nordic capital cities,” adds Magnus Berglund, Partner and Head of Sweden and Norway at CapMan Real Estate.

Closing of the acquisition is expected in Q3 2025. The Fund recently acquired a 205-unit residential development project in Stockholm in Jakobsberg, Järfälla from JM.

CapMan Real Estate manages approximately €5.5 billion in real estate assets, with a team of over 80 professionals based in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo and London.
