Summary
Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised PGIM Real Estate—the real estate investment and financing division of PGIM (the asset management arm of Prudential Financial, Inc.)—on the formation of PruMex VI Fund, a closed-end private real estate fund targeting approximately US$700 million in aggregate capital commitments through subsequent closings.
The fund has achieved its initial closing and secured capital commitments from Mexican institutional investors. PruMex VI Fund is structured as an irrevocable trust agreement and will operate indirectly through multiple investment vehicles to acquire, develop, redevelop, and operate industrial real estate assets throughout Mexico. This structure provides institutional investors with exposure to Mexico's industrial real estate market while maintaining the operational and legal flexibility required for complex cross-border transactions.
The transaction underscores PGIM Real Estate's continued focus on Mexico as a strategic investment market. The fund's emphasis on industrial real estate—a sector benefiting from nearshoring trends, logistics demand, and manufacturing relocation from Asia—aligns with broader institutional investor interest in Mexico's economic growth and supply chain modernization. The multi-closing structure enables the fund to deploy capital opportunistically while maintaining investor optionality throughout the investment period.
White & Case's Mexico City team, led by partner Eduardo Flores and counsel Jorge Escalante, with associates Viridiana Alanis Carrera and Jorge Reyes Juarez and legal trainee Ana Sofía Vivot, provided comprehensive legal advisory services on fund structuring and formation. The engagement reflects White & Case's established presence in Mexico's institutional real estate and capital markets practice, supporting complex cross-border transactions for major financial institutions and asset managers.
