DFA’s $400M Manhattan Deal Puts Portfolio Past $3B Mark

Deutsche Finance America (DFA) now has $3 billion of closed investments in the U.S., following the $400-million off-market acquisition of 530 Broadway in Lower Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood. The historic 198,000-square-foot office and retail property, built in 1900, was acquired on behalf of DFA’s Prime U.S. Office fund.

Established in 2018 by Denver-based managing partner Jason Lucas and parent company Deutsche Finance Group, the U.S. private equity investment platform DFA has successfully acquired 11 investments totaling approximately $1.5 billion of equity and $3.1 billion of total projected capitalization.

The investments include joint ventures with local, national, and international partners for residential, hotel, life sciences, student housing projects and, most recently, a focus on prime gateway office investment opportunities. DFA’s properties are located in New York City, Beverly Hills, Miami Beach, Boston, Boulder, CO and Minneapolis.
