The eight investments included four industrial deals, two hotel-to-multifamily conversions, one build-for-rent investment and one distressed office transaction.
“We are very pleased with the portfolio we built for Fund VI which is positioned to perform well despite current market uncertainties and macroeconomic headwinds,” said Marcus Duley, chief investment officer of WDIP. “We have acquired properties at attractive bases relative to replacement cost and are executing business plans that create intrinsic value. For our new development investments, we are on track to achieve stabilized yield-on-costs well above exit cap expectations. This will serve to protect investor downside while positioning the investments for upside realization.”
