The capital raise included investments from Mexican institutional investors, as well as a co-investment from PGIM. More than half of the capital was raised from existing PGIM Real Estate clients, with the remaining capital coming from new investors. “The strong market fundamentals in Mexico, including a growing middle class, competitive labor costs and manufacturing, and favorable housing policies and regulatory changes, continue to be the key drivers for the development of industrial and residential assets in the country,” says Alfonso Munk, chief investment officer for the Americas at Madison-based PGIM Real Estate.

From Northern, Central and Southern Jersey’s green, well-manicured garden-apartment courtyards to the sleek Class A high-rises peppering Hudson County’s Gold Coast, multifamily living and investment are catalysts for sustained statewide economic and population growth.
