By Amit Chowdhry • Jun 28, 2024

Faropoint, a tech-enabled, US industrial real estate investment manager, announced the final closing of its flagship Industrial Value Fund III with $915 million in commitments, exceeding its $750 million target.

This fund has secured investments from premier institutions across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, including public pension plans and insurance firms, emphasizing Faropoint’s strong market reputation and track record. This fundraising follows the prior successes of Faropoint’s Value Funds I and II, which pursued a similar strategy of aggregating institutionally inaccessible assets to achieve a premium through a portfolio sale.

So far, Fund III has acquired over 80 urban industrial warehouses across 12 US markets, and aims to buy more than 200 warehouses throughout its deployment period. With deals averaging under $10 million, the Fund is diversifying its assets across different markets, sectors, tenants, vintages, and build types to optimize portfolio composition.

As Faropoint continues growing and expanding its portfolio, the firm remains committed to delivering exceptional value and performance to its investors through strategic acquisitions and efficient management of industrial assets.

Threadmark Partners Limited supported the fund raising as the global placement agent.
