Santa Barbara County Employees’ Retirement System has agreed to commit $35 million across two private real estate vehicles, according to the pension’s quarterly real estate report.
The commitments comprised an additional $20 million to Lubert-Adler Workforce Housing Fund and $15 million to High Street Real Estate Fund VII. Both commitments were made to the pension’s existing managers.
SBCERS also plans to reinvest proceeds from its liquidated core funds into a core strategy which would provide stable income for its portfolio. The pension is on course to achieve its targeted commitments of $60 million in 2021. The strategic plan was previously reported by PERE.
