LOS ANGELES – Oaktree Capital Management LP has closed Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VIII and related vehicles, with capital commitments totaling $4.7 billion.
Exceeding its original target of $3.5 billion, the fund serves as the Oaktree Capital Management's largest real estate fundraise to date.
To date, the fund has invested or committed $1.7 billion, representing about 40% of its capital, in a combination of purchases of distressed real estate-related securities made during the pandemic and more recently, relationship-based "rescue" financings for public and private real estate lenders and owners experiencing problems with their leverage.
