CHICAGO — Origin Investments has raised $151 million from 450 investors through its third private equity real estate fund, paving the way for it to acquire $600 million in value-added commercial and multifamily properties. Since July 2016, the now closed and fully subscribed Origin Investments’ Fund III has spent $38 million to acquire eight assets, including The Clayson, a 448-unit apartment complex in Palatine, Ill. The eight properties are valued in excess of $257 million.
The investment strategy for the third fund mirrors Chicago-based Origin Investments’ first two funds, which are currently on track to generate more than a 24 percent annualized net return. When fully invested, Origin Investors’ Fund III is expected to own more than 15 multifamily and office properties in eight markets across the United States.
