Summary
Goldman Sachs is re-entering global private equity real estate fundraising through Real Estate Investment Partners, according to PEI reporter Jonathan Brasse, whose article was published on 29 April 2022. The effort marks the bank's return to a segment it previously served through its Whitehall Street fund series, which was active before the global financial crisis.
According to the article, the new vehicle differs meaningfully from the Whitehall series. The fund is structured around Core-Plus and Value-Add strategies rather than the opportunistic approach associated with the earlier Whitehall funds. Its geographic scope covers North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, reflecting a global mandate.
The PEI piece is framed as a five-point explainer, though the publicly available text provided here is limited to the introduction and tags, so specific fund size, target, and closing details are not captured in the source material available for this summary. Institutional allocators tracking real estate fundraising should consult the full article for those terms.
The comeback signals continued institutional appetite for global real estate private equity strategies from large bank-affiliated sponsors, a segment that has seen sponsors reassess strategy mix since the financial crisis.
