Marquette Companies has more than four decades of success in multifamily development and investment. So, when we announced the launch of the SE Fund 25, which opened the door for new qualified investors to co-invest with Marquette principals and institutional equity partners, private investors as well as business and industry media paid attention.
The $15 million fund focuses on two of Marquette’s greatest areas of strength: successful value-add strategies and investing in the Midwest. Per Marquette Companies’ President Trevor Ryan, market conditions play to the firm’s strength in both areas. He pointed to the recent acquisition of Ascend St. Charles in St. Charles, Ill., as an example where rent growth through property improvements is expected to bring strong returns in the high-demand market.
In an interview with Chicago Business Journal, CFO Jason Tennenbaum cited Midwest markets as “driven by favorable fundamentals, strong demand and compelling value-add opportunities,” aligning well with Marquette’s experience in the region.
The fund is open to high-net-worth individuals, family offices, wealth-management advisers and other accredited investors, and was structured to deploy capital immediately. News of the fund also appeared in Bisnow, Connect CRE, REjournals and YieldPro.
