Closes Most Recent Flagship Fund at $2.7 Billion; Raises Additional $2.4 Billion in Commitments

BOSTON, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockpoint, a Boston-based real estate private equity firm, today announced it has raised $5.1 billion in aggregate equity capital commitments in the current fundraising cycle. The total raise includes the close of Rockpoint Real Estate Fund VII ("the Fund") with $2.7 billion in total equity capital, as well as an additional $2.4 billion in commitments that include two single investor funds and one single-asset continuation vehicle. Together, this funding represents a diverse base of leading corporate and public pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and family offices from Asia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States.

The Rockpoint team has been investing together since 1994—a 30-year track record that includes investing across multiple cycles and 19 funds and related co-investment vehicles representing a combined gross asset value of approximately $80 billion. Fund VII expands on Rockpoint's long- established flagship opportunistic series, leveraging the firm's extensive local market knowledge and vertically integrated platform to create and enhance value at the asset level.

"We are grateful for the strong support from both existing and new investors," said Bill Walton, Managing Member at Rockpoint. "As we continue to thoughtfully grow our platform and invest in assets where our longstanding relationships, local market expertise, and vertically integrated capabilities can add substantial value, we are well positioned to capitalize on what we believe will be compelling opportunities during this period of dislocation across the real estate sector."

"We are excited to expand on our successful track record of investing through cycles and to continue to deliver strong returns for our investors." said Keith Gelb, Managing Member at Rockpoint. "With a management team that has been working together and with relationships throughout the industry for nearly three decades, alongside a deep and growing pool of talent, our organization has never been stronger."

The Fund will target opportunities in the U.S. across a range of real estate asset classes, including industrial, multifamily, single-family rental, and hospitality, as well as select office investments.
