Andrea Balkan, Managing Partner who oversees the Fund, said, “Our fundraising effort has gone exceptionally well, and we appreciate the strong support we have received from our investors. We have been actively investing and are excited about the opportunities to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns on real estate debt investments.”

BREF VI continues Brookfield’s successful real estate debt investment strategy, with a focus on lending against high-quality real estate assets in major U.S. metropolitan markets, and selectively in the U.K. and Europe, at valuations that are below long-term intrinsic value. To date, the Fund has closed on 15 investments, representing aggregate mezzanine lending commitments in excess of $700m.
