Carmel Partners Closes Oversubscribed MF Fund 7 at $1.28B

San Francisco-based Carmel Partners completed the final close of Carmel Partners Investment Fund 7, its U.S. multifamily real estate value creation fund. At $1.28 billion, Fund 7 is Carmel’s largest to date, enabling select new investors to join Carmel’s existing LPs.

Fund 7 had its first close in August 2018, exceeded its target size in October, achieved its hard cap and was oversubscribed with the final close in December 2018. More than 40 existing and new investors participated in Fund 7, including investors from Asia and Europe as well as the United States. Carmel has successfully raised nearly $5.5 billion since inception of the fund series in 2004.

Carmel focuses exclusively on multifamily investments, including development, renovation and debt in relatively supply-constrained, high barrier-to-entry U.S. markets, including the metro areas of the San Francisco Bay Area, SoCal, New York, Seattle, Denver, Washington, D.C. and Honolulu.
