Cantor Fitzgerald, Silverstein Close Opportunity Zone Fund with More Than $470M

Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. and Silverstein Properties, Inc. said Monday they had closed on Cantor Silverstein Opportunity Zone Trust II, Inc. with more than $470 million of equity raised. CSOZ Trust II includes four planned multifamily and mixed-use developments totaling 1,932 multifamily units and 1.5 million square feet and located in Tempe, AZ, Richmond, VA, Summerville, SC and Huntsville, AL.

“We have seen strong investor interest in this business, enabling us to build a diversified portfolio of institutional-quality multifamily real estate,” said Bill Ferri, global head of Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management. “This growth underscores our commitment to creating lasting economic impact and revitalizing neighborhoods across the United States. We are optimistic about a potential extension to the overall Qualified Opportunity Zone Program to further drive meaningful growth.”

Cantor and Silverstein launched their Opportunity Zone business in early 2019 to invest in, develop, redevelop and manage a diversified portfolio of institutional quality commercial real estate assets. The firms are focused on multifamily properties located in Qualified Opportunity Zones in the U.S.
