Summary
Accelerate Infrastructure Opportunities, a Dallas-based infrastructure site investor, announced on October 29, 2024 that it had raised $780 million across two components. The largest share, $630 million, is an equity commitment from funds and co-investors, including vehicles managed by CBRE Investment Management. The remaining $150 million came from the company's separate inaugural asset-backed securitization, which is collateralized by a diversified portfolio of properties under critical infrastructure assets.
The company's strategy centers on acquiring, owning and managing ground leases and land beneath digital, renewable and transportation infrastructure assets that generate long-term, sustainable cash flows. Accelerate was launched as a partnership between Accelerate Investment Partners and CBRE IM to pursue this approach across North America. The firm has since rebranded as Accelerate Infrastructure Opportunities to better reflect its focus on critical infrastructure.
According to later company announcements, the equity program expanded materially. A subsequent $630 million primary capital raise was reported in May 2026, with new investors including Mubadala Investment Company and Australian Retirement funds, bringing total equity commitments above $1.25 billion. Accelerate also closed a second $450 million ABS, which the company described as its second institutional securitization. These later developments post-date the October 2024 announcement and are presented here for context only.
