Venture III is a continuation of Alterra’s Industrial Outside Storage (“IOS”) investment strategy launched in 2016. Alterra believes IOS benefits from several positive real estate fundamentals, including rising tenant demand, constraints on new supply, and low recurring capex requirements for supply chain and infrastructure real estate. Alterra expects Venture III’s acquisitions to focus on infill properties in major markets across the U.S. and Canada.
“Alterra’s national scale, proven track record, and vertically integrated team contributed to a strong capital raise in a challenging market for real estate. The IOS sector is a $200BN market that is highly fragmented and opaque due to the lack of institutional ownership and available market data. As a first mover in the space, Alterra has acquired over 250 properties across 30+ states, providing Alterra unique insights into the market. Venture III is the largest IOS dedicated pool of discretionary capital raised to date and will help deepen our competitive advantage as we look to further institutionalize the IOS sector,” said Matthew Pfeiffer, Managing Partner/CIO of Alterra.
Venture III’s final close coincides with the successful deployment of its $524MM predecessor vehicle, Alterra IOS Venture II, LP. Venture II was also in excess of its original target fund size and hitting its hard cap. Today, Alterra is one of the largest institutional owners of IOS in the U.S. with approximately $3.0 billion of AUM.
“The institutional investor support for Alterra and Venture III has been an outlier to the larger market,” said Park Madison Partners’ Rob Kohn. “The last 12 months has been perhaps the most challenging fundraising environment since the Global Financial Crisis, so raising $925MM for Venture III is a real testament to both the IOS market opportunity and Alterra’s leadership in that space. The speed to final close was also impressive. The entire investor allocation was more or less spoken for within 8 months of launch, versus the current industry average of 24 months.”
“We believe IOS represents a generational investment opportunity to aggregate and institutionalize an attractive niche industrial property type. We made the strategic decision years ago to be an early mover in the IOS space, and we are deeply appreciative of the continued support we’ve received from the investor community and their advisors,” said Leo Addimando, Founder and Managing Partner/CEO of Alterra.
