A Toronto-based real estate firm with a growing portfolio in Ottawa has launched a new fund with the aim of expanding its footprint in both Ontario markets.
Crown Realty Partners said this week the fund has closed its first round of financing with more than $140 million worth of commitments from institutional investors and family offices. The company said the fund expects to complete its final closing later this year.
The firm said its latest fund will focus on commercial real estate assets in Canada’s “primary office markets,” particularly the Greater Toronto Area and the National Capital Region.
