Al. Neyer Closes $200 million for Second Private Equity Real Estate Development Fund

"The success of our first private equity fund and the unceasing demand for industrial space drove our pursuit of a second fund for new and long-term investors," said Jen Weingartner, Vice President of Capital and Investor Relations at Al. Neyer. "We continue to see e-commerce, reshoring, and industrial automation in manufacturing fueling the market’s appetite for industrial real estate investments, and we have proven the strength and performance of our diverse pipeline."
Industrial real estate has a robust historical performance with steady rent growth and declining vacancy over the past two decades. Al. Neyer’s focus with Fund II includes bulk, rear load and single load space, and last-mile industrial. The fund’s investor roster includes high net worth investors, family offices, and institutional investors with 18.7% minority and women investors.

We proved that with Fund I, and with the current pipeline we have in place, we are positioned to deliver for our investors."
