Starwood Capital Group said on Friday it had raised $10bn for its latest real estate fund, bringing the U.S. investment firm’s total assets under management to over $95bn.
The fundraise for Starwood Distressed Opportunity Fund XII exceeded the $7.6bn it had raised for a similar fund in 2018, the company said.
The Miami, Florida-based firm has already closed or committed to 25 deals requiring over $3.5bn of equity, it said.
