Pathfinder Partners Announces Initial Closing of New Opportunity Fund
Pathfinder Fund V Acquiring Multifamily, Residential Properties in Western U.S.
- San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) January 28, 2015 - Pathfinder Partners, LLC, a San Diego-based fund manager that makes opportunistic real estate investments, has announced the initial closing of Pathfinder Partners Opportunity Fund V - a private real estate fund focused on acquiring multifamily and other residential real estate, both rental and for sale. Investors committed approximately $30 million to the initial closing. With a target fundraise of $100 to $150 million, the fund will remain open to new investors through December 2015.
"We're thrilled to be introducing our new fund," said Mitch Siegler, senior managing director/co-founder of Pathfinder. "We are excited to deploy our investment strategy to this fund and look forward to building on the initial investments with additional capital raises this year. We have a robust pipeline of new investment opportunities and are optimistic that we will be able to deploy the capital quickly."
According to Siegler, Fund V will adhere to Pathfinder's investment model - primarily acquiring value-add, opportunistic and financially distressed real estate in mid-tier cities throughout the west - among them San Diego, Denver, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland. "While the commercial banks and CMBS special servicers have sold or otherwise resolved many problem loans in their portfolios, we expect to continue to find investment opportunities from them as well as fatigued owners who have struggled since the Great Recession to stabilize their properties or invest the necessary capital to optimize property performance," Siegler said.
Fund V builds on Pathfinder's strong platform and solid track record. Since its inception, the firm has acquired more than $500 million of real estate assets in more than 75 transactions. In addition to raising and managing four prior broad-based opportunistic funds, Pathfinder has also raised separate funds targeting single-family rental aggregation and luxury home repositioning strategies.
