The second partnership involving Hillwood and a major sovereign wealth fund is expected to deploy more than $1 billion over the next three to four years
A major sovereign wealth fund and Hillwood, a Dallas-based real estate investment and development company owned by Ross Perot, Jr., announced today the initial closing of a new fund to make direct and indirect investments in industrial real estate, principally large warehouses, across North America. Hillwood will have responsibilities for acquisitions, developments, and joint ventures with other developers. With an expected total equity amount of $400 million – over half of which has been identified and committed – the partnership is expected to deploy more than $1 billion over the next three to four years.
The partnership represents the second such venture between Hillwood and the sovereign wealth fund. Combining significant experience in investments, acquisitions and development, the partnership has the resources and expertise to further increase Hillwood and the sovereign wealth fund’s presence in the industrial warehouse market.
“The new fund provides the investment flexibility to target the highest risk-adjusted returns available across the industrial warehouse asset class, without being restricted by a narrow investment target,” said Ross Perot, Jr., Chairman of Hillwood.
