CBRE Investment Management and Accelerate Infrastructure Opportunities announced the closing of a $630 million primary capital raise, bringing total equity commitments to the Accelerate platform to approximately $1.26 billion.

The capital raise includes additional investments from funds managed by CBRE Investment Management, along with new investments from Mubadala Investment Company, Australian Retirement Trust, and other global institutional investors.

Accelerate said the new capital will support continued expansion of its infrastructure site acquisition platform focused on digital connectivity, renewable energy, and transportation infrastructure assets.

CBRE IM and Accelerate launched the infrastructure site acquisition strategy in December 2022. Since then, the platform has acquired more than 400 infrastructure sites across 47 U.S. states spanning digital, renewable, and transportation infrastructure categories.

The company said its strategy focuses on acquiring real estate tied to critical infrastructure assets that generate long-term cash flows.

Accelerate operates offices in Plano, New York City, and Los Angeles.

CBRE Investment Management manages approximately $155.2 billion in assets under management globally as of March 31, 2026.

Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi sovereign investment firm participating in the raise, manages a global portfolio valued at approximately $385 billion.
