Brasa Capital Management hits it out of the park with its first fund, Brasa Real Estate Fund LP. In the final close of the fund, the value-add real estate investment firm surpassed its $100 million goal with a capital raise of $120 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response from potential investors was very positive from the outset as they quickly recognized that opportunities in the middle markets were being overlooked,\u201d<\/em> Eric Samek, founder of Brasa Capital Management, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cWe also proved it was an excellent way for investors to penetrate the competitive Southern California real estate market, which is where we are focusing a lot of our attention.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So far, Brasa Real Estate fund has provided debt or equity capital for seven endeavors, including a conversion project involving the transformation of a retail center into a medical building, a mixed-use development in North Hollywood in suburban Los Angeles, and a co-living redevelopment project in San Francisco. The fund is also serving as a joint venture partner on a 335,000-square-foot, ground-up industrial development in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

An auspicious start<\/h2>\n

The final close of Brasa Real Estate Fund comes just over one year after the formation of Brasa Capital. \u201cAs confident as we were in our investment thesis, with so much competition for institutional capital, surpassing your fundraising goal is always a pleasant surprise,\u201d<\/em> Samek said. Brasa Capital, which invests on behalf of pension funds and family offices, targets middle-market commercial real estate prospects<\/a> across the Western U.S. and Texas. It invests across the capital stack, with an eye on deals involving $5 million to $25 million of equity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
