The firm closed a predecessor fund in 2016. This new fund is also about 55% larger than that fund and will allow the company to purchase up to $2 billion in commercial assets.
“The close of our sixth value-add discretionary fund is a milestone moment for our investment management platform, and feeds into our focus on expanding our third-party capital raising,” William McMorrow, chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson, said in a statement.
Further, Fund VI targets value-add real estate opportunities in the Western United States.
“Institutional investors continue to show a strong appetite for real estate in West Coast markets, many of which are leading the country in job creation, wage gains, and technology trends,” Nicholas Colonna, Kennedy Wilson’s president of commercial investments and fund management, added.
Finally, Fund VI has a current portfolio of 12 multifamily, office, retail and other commercial assets with an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 billion, deploying $386 million of equity to date.
