District of Columbia Retirement Board has confirmed a $100 million commitment to Carlyle Property Investors, according to recently released materials from its May 19 board meeting.
The Carlyle Group launched the open-ended U.S. core-plus real estate fund in September 2015 and has attracted over $4 billion in equity commitments for the vehicle. Public pensions across the US have committed capital to the fund, including $250 million from Florida Retirement System Trust Fund and $200 million from School Universities Retirement Systems of Illinois.
As highlighted by PERE back in 2016, investment is heavily weighted toward niche or non-traditional real estate strategies, with a goal of 45 percent of the fund’s capital to go into senior housing, medical office and storage properties. Of the remaining equity, 25 percent would go into apartments, 5 percent into industrial, 15 percent into office and 10 percent into retail.
DC Retirement Board allocates 4.4 percent of its investment portfolio to real estate, comprising around $484 million in capital. As illustrated below, its recent commitments to private real estate have tended to focus on North American vehicles with opportunistic or value-add returns.
