Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. is aiming to raise US$15 billion for its fifth flagship real estate fund, less than its previous version, according to people familiar with the matter, as the global property market is roiled by rising borrowing costs.
Brookfield, one of the world’s largest owners of prime office properties, started raising money earlier this year for the new vehicle just months after closing its fourth fund at US$17 billion. A spokesperson for the Toronto-based asset manager declined to comment.
Office landlords around the world are being squeezed by higher interest costs, falling property prices and low occupancy rates as employees continue working from home. Fee-bearing capital in Brookfield Asset’s real estate business dipped to US$98 billion in March from US$103 billion at the end of last year.
“We have always focused on owning premier real estate in the best locations, which is why 95 per cent of our office portfolio is either trophy or Class A office space that continues to vastly outperform the broader market,” he said in a letter to shareholders of Brookfield Corp., Brookfield Asset’s parent company. The group also invests in other property asset classes, including hotels, malls, logistics and housing.
