Schroders reported having $33 billion of real estate assets under management across more than 1,100 properties, as of June 2025. Those assets are mainly in the European market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nuveen Real Estate, meanwhile, boasts $142 billion of assets under management. The firm has also been growing its Nuveen Green Capital affiliate, which has originated over $4 billion in sustainable financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joseph Iacono, CEO &amp; managing partner at Crescit Capital Strategies, told <em>Commercial Property Executive <\/em>that he thinks the deal makes sense given the pressures on the industry to get more assets under management, along with the opportunities for both firms to further globalize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBigger is better from the perspective of many of the asset managers,\u201d Iacono said, adding that the move is in line with the recent trend of consolidation in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/investors-plan-to-buy-more-cre-in-2026\/\">Investors Plan to Buy More CRE in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The deal will also enable the firms to build more private capital in private markets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/deals\/nuveen-to-buy-u-k-asset-manager-schroders-in-13-5-billion-deal-a61390bc?reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">according to the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>which would generate higher fees.

That asset is a 12-story, 495,000-square-foot building with lab, office and retail space. The transaction was the largest C-PACE financing deal in Pennsylvania history and the first for a publicly traded REIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of green funding projects, another recent Nuveen deal is a collaboration with CIBC U.S. to finance the construction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/nexcore-jv-breaks-ground-on-sacramento-area-mob\/\">Folsom Advanced Surgery Center<\/a>, a 92,000-square-foot outpatient clinic and surgical center in Folsom, Calif.
