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.

Acquisition strengthens Warburg Pincus’ Japan real estate portfolio with modern, fully leased assets positioned for long-term growth

Tokyo, August 6, 2025 – Warburg Pincus, the pioneer of private equity global growth investing, today announced that, through the Warburg Pincus Asia Real Estate Fund (“WPARE”), it has committed to acquiring two prime logistics properties – I Missions Park Inzai (“IMP Inzai”) and Logitres Sano, from Mitsui Fudosan Logistics REIT through a bridge financing structure. The total transaction value is approximately US$240 million.

Located in key logistics hubs within Greater Tokyo, the two properties are modern, fully leased facilities with strategic connectivity and high specifications tailored to e-commerce and third-party logistics operations.

IMP Inzai is a five-story, purpose-built logistics facility completed in 2018, with a total gross floor area (GFA) of 110,516 square meters. It is fully leased to a major e-commerce tenant and has been awarded a DBJ Green Building 4 Star rating. Strategically located within 40 km of central Tokyo, the property offers excellent logistics connectivity via National Route 16 and the Chiba Kita interchange on the Higashi Kanto Expressway. It also serves as a key transfer hub for air cargo to and from Narita Airport.

Logitres Sano, located in Tochigi Prefecture, is a two-story logistics facility completed in 2023, with a total GFA of 7,144 square meters. The property benefits from proximity to major national roads and expressways, enabling efficient distribution across the broader Northern Kanto region.

Takashi Murata, Managing Director, Co-Head of Asia Real Estate and Head of Japan at Warburg Pincus, said, “E-commerce expansion and rapid urbanization continue to drive strong demand for modern logistics facilities in Japan. Coupled with a structural imbalance in certain submarkets where demand significantly exceeds supply, we have strong conviction in the sector’s long-term potential. These acquisitions align with our strategy to deepen our exposure to high-quality logistics assets in core Japanese markets, where tenant demand remains robust. IMP Inzai and Logitres Sano offer a compelling combination of income stability and value creation opportunities, supported by strong tenancy, full occupancy, and strategic connectivity.

This investment also reinforces our broader plan to scale investment activities in Japan. Recent investments include the acquisition of Tokyo Beta, the largest share house portfolio in Japan with over 16,000 rooms, and the acquisition of Shinagawa Seaside West Tower by our joint venture with Eastgate Group, which focuses on life sciences and R&D real estate.”

Warburg Pincus is one of the largest and most active investors in Asia’s logistics sector, with 10 portfolio companies and ventures¹ including ESR, QUBE Industrial, BW Industrial, Wide Creek, and Hale. The firm is also advancing its plan to open an office and build an on-the-ground team in Japan to support its expanding real estate and private equity investment activities in the market.

BOSTON & NEW YORK – August 4, 2025 – Bain Capital and 11North Partners (“11North”), a retail focused investment platform, today announced the acquisition of a portfolio of ten open-air retail centers across Florida and South Carolina, most of which are anchored by Publix, for approximately $395 million. The private transaction was executed through an exclusive partnership between Bain Capital Real Estate and 11North focused on acquiring and operating open-air retail centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

This acquisition follows the joint venture’s recent purchase of three open-air lifestyle retail centers in Oklahoma City and reflects the platform’s continued momentum in high-growth, high-conviction markets.

Strategically located across the thriving Florida submarkets of Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, and Palm Beach, as well as Charleston, South Carolina, the portfolio includes:

• Sawgrass Square
• Plantation Promenade
• Miramar Commons
• Rolling Oaks
• Promenade at Poinciana
• Solivita Marketplace
• New Tampa Center
• Lake Worth Plaza
• Garden Shops at Boca
• Point Hope Commons

Collectively, the ten properties span more than one million square feet of gross leasable area, with in-place occupancy exceeding 93 percent. Seven of the centers are anchored by Publix, and the portfolio features a strong mix of national, regional, and daily-needs tenants such as Bank of America, Chipotle, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Jersey Mike’s, and McDonald’s. The assets are situated in high-barrier, desirable communities including Boca Raton, Sawgrass, Plantation, and Charleston, SC, markets known for strong household demographics, limited new retail supply, and sustained population growth.

“This transaction represents a compelling opportunity to embed our platform in strong, in-demand communities that are benefiting from significant demographic shifts across the Southeast, including lifestyle migration and an aging population,” said Brian Harper, Founder and Managing Partner of 11North. “We’re thrilled to expand our presence in Florida through the acquisition of this high-performing portfolio anchored by Publix and complemented by a mix of top-tier national retailers. Our combined portfolio of grocery-anchored assets now includes Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Publix, three of the most trusted names in retail. Across the platform, average grocery sales volumes are approximately $1,000 per square foot, underscoring the quality and durability of these centers.”

“This scaled acquisition, which has strong fundamentals and sits in one of the country’s most attractive growth regions, squarely aligns with our thematic approach to investing in open-air, necessity-based retail,” said Martha Kelley, Managing Director at Bain Capital Real Estate. “We are excited to continue building a differentiated and high-quality portfolio alongside our partners at 11North in markets where we have long-term conviction.”

Bain Capital and 11North formed their strategic joint venture in April 2024, targeting open-air retail assets with a high concentration of necessity-based tenancy and long-term consumer demand drivers.

Washington, DC – Monday, August 4, 2025 – Global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) today announced the final close of its tenth U.S. opportunistic real estate fund, Carlyle Realty Partners X (CRP X), with $9 billion of total commitments. The fund follows Carlyle Realty Partners IX (CRP IX), for which the firm raised $8 billion in 2021. This result reflects continued support for Carlyle’s longstanding U.S. Real Estate strategy and experienced investment team.

CRP X continues to focus on sectors underpinned by secular demographic and technological tailwinds and attractive supply-demand dynamics, including residential, self-storage, and industrial. CRP X is expected to have no exposure to office, hotel, or retail, sectors which the team has strategically avoided in prior recent vintages.

“Amid one of the most difficult fundraising environments for real estate in recent memory, we’re grateful for the trust our limited partners have placed in us,” said Rob Stuckey, Head of Carlyle’s U.S. Real Estate team since 1998. “This capital raise reflects both the strength of our team and the proven performance of our strategy, particularly through complex market cycles. Our ability to avoid structurally challenged areas and invest with discipline in a turbulent environment reinforces the value of our distinctive approach to fund construction and has led to meaningful recommitment from existing investors as well as strong support from new relationships. This is a compelling moment to invest, as we see improving fundamentals across our target sectors coupled with an environment of relatively constrained liquidity.”

Carlyle U.S. Real Estate is comprised of over 140 professionals, including a senior team with an average tenure of 20 years. CRP X is poised to benefit from the continuity of senior leadership, depth and experience of its investment professionals, and the team’s presence in key target markets.

SEOUL – JULY 28, 2025 – Blackstone today announced that Blackstone Real Estate Partners (“Blackstone”) has acquired through QUBE Industrial Asset Management funds a high-quality, last-mile logistics portfolio in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

The portfolio comprises two modern, Grade A logistics centers spanning 1.3 million square feet in Gimpo and Namyangju, which are among Greater Seoul’s most sought-after infill markets. Tenants include some of the largest local and global corporations in e-commerce and logistics.

Chris Kim, Head of Blackstone Real Estate – Korea, said: “This is a continuation of our commitment to investing in prime Korean assets in fast-growing sectors. Logistics is one of our highest conviction investment themes in real estate globally and a focus for us in South Korea, particularly in the Seoul Metropolitan Area where last-mile new supply remains extremely limited and vacancy for such assets is at a low 4% range. We are pleased to bring together our global expertise and scale in the sector, asset management capabilities, and local insights, to continue to grow the platform for long-term success.”

Blackstone has been an active investor in Korean real estate since establishing the team three years ago. Last year, it completed three major transactions, including investing in a large multi-story logistics asset in Gimpo; buying an office building in Seoul’s Gangnam district to convert into a select-service hotel in partnership with Travelodge Asia; and closing the landmark sale of Arc Place after years of work to transform the asset into a premier office building in Seoul.
