2017 Vintage Value Add Private Real Estate Funds
Realterm Global Logistics Fund II
Focuses on high flow-through logistics real estate throughout the United States, targeting transportation-advantaged industrial properties that support the movement of freight through the nation's supply chain rather than traditional storage. The fund targets property types including cross-dock truck terminals, transload facilities, final mile delivery warehouses, and industrial outdoor storage, with a preference for assets strategically located in and around major population centers, primary distribution hubs, and key freight corridors. Realterm's deep specialization in logistics real estate, disciplined acquisition approach, and active asset management capabilities position the fund to capitalize on the structural growth in e-commerce-driven supply chain demand.
Mesirow Financial Real Estate Value Fund III
Pursues a value-added strategy focused primarily on the U.S. multifamily sector, with a secondary emphasis on student housing, targeting properties with the potential for meaningful appreciation through capital improvements and operational optimization. The fund acquires diversified assets across suburban and urban markets, with a preference for properties in close proximity to public transit and in locations where meaningful differentials exist between the cost to own and cost to rent. Mesirow Financial's deep market relationships, rigorous submarket-level research process, and extensive track record in multifamily value-add investing underpin the fund's approach to identifying off-market opportunities and executing disciplined capital improvement plans.
The Praedium Group IX Multifamily Value Fund
Employs a value-oriented approach to multifamily investing, targeting suburban markets characterized by strong job growth, population in-migration, and favorable rent dynamics, while avoiding markets with weak municipal financial conditions or limited economic momentum. The fund focuses on acquiring and repositioning multifamily assets through capital improvements and operational enhancements, with an emphasis on properties where active management can meaningfully improve competitive positioning and drive equity appreciation. The Praedium Group's three-decade track record, proprietary research platform, and extensive sourcing network spanning national real estate owners and financial institutions support a disciplined and repeatable investment process across market cycles.
Blue Owl Capital Real Estate Capital Fund IV, (formerly Oak Street Real Estate Capital Fund IV)
Concentrates on acquiring single-tenant properties net-leased to investment-grade and creditworthy tenants under long-duration lease structures, providing investors with predictable income streams and contractual cash flow clarity. Originally raised by Oak Street Real Estate Capital before its acquisition by Blue Owl Capital in 2021, the fund specializes in sale-leaseback transactions and other net lease structures across a diverse range of tenant types including corporations, healthcare systems, universities, and government entities. The strategy's focus on creditworthy tenants, triple net lease structures that eliminate landlord operating responsibilities, and a disciplined underwriting process reflect a capital solutions approach designed to deliver durable income and downside protection across economic environments.
Focus Healthcare Partners Senior Housing Fund I
Makes controlling investments in private-pay senior housing assets throughout the continental United States, targeting properties across the independent living, assisted living, and memory care continuum. The fund invests across the risk spectrum, including core, value-add, and transitional opportunities, applying active asset management oversight and specialized regional operators to improve property performance and resident outcomes. Focus Healthcare Partners' founding principals bring deep operational and capital markets experience in the senior care industry, and the firm's specialized platform, proprietary management tools, and long-tenured team provide a differentiated approach to underwriting and managing senior housing investments.
