"Reaching our hard cap in what continues to be a challenging fundraising environment, particularly for middle market managers pursuing a diversified strategy, is a milestone we do not take for granted. We continue to see compelling opportunities across the real estate market, and we believe our flexible, disciplined approach positions the firm well to pursue them."
