SAN FRANCISCO—Carmel Partners said Monday it had closed on its sixth multifamily fund since 2004. At $1.025 billion, Carmel Partners Investment Fund VI exceeded its target of $1 billion.

Founder and CEO Ron Zeff says the successful closing of Fund VI “confirms our investors' confidence in the Carmel value creation strategy: our multifamily sector focus, precise execution and a vertically integrated platform with deep in-house expertise.” More than 35 existing and new investors participated in Fund VI, including several from Europe. The firm focuses on multifamily investments, including property development and construction in supply-constrained, high barrier-to-entry US markets.

Fund VI has already made its first investment, in Oakland, CA, a market where Carmel has other holdings. Carmel will develop a full block-sized site located in the center of the city's evolving downtown area, convenient to jobs and public transportation.

Carmel's fundshave grown progressively larger, and the firm has raised a total of $4.2billion since launching its fund series. Fund I, an '04 -vintage fund with equity commitments of $215 million, executed an investment strategy targeting six core markets. The Fund I portfolio includes 17 multifamily assets totaling 5,135 units, representing a mix of renovation, development, and debt strategies. Liquidation of Fund I is now substantially complete.

Fund II, raised in 2005 with equity commitments of $400 million, executed an investment strategy targeting six core markets. The Fund II portfolio includes 22 multifamily assets totaling 4,535 units, representing a mix of renovation, development, and debt strategies.

Fund III, a 2007 vintage fund with equity commitments of $700 million, executed an investment strategy targeting Carmel's seven markets: Northern California, Southern California, Seattle, Denver, the New York City metro area, Washington, DC and Hawaii. The Fund III portfolio includes 33 multifamily assets totaling 6,230 units, with a mix of renovation, development and debt strategies.

Fund IV, a 2011 vintage fund with equity commitments of $820 million, executed an investment strategy targeting five core markets. The Fund IV portfolio includes 21 multifamily assets totaling 6,445 units, representing a mix of renovation, development, and debt strategies.

Fund V, a 2014 vintage fund with equity commitments of $1.025 billion, is executing an investment strategy targeting six core markets. Its portfolio includes eight multifamily assets totaling 4,388 units, representing a mix of renovation, development and debt strategies.

Several economic factors have resulted in net positives for the multifamily sector and prices in core markets are at an all-time high. But just how long can the market continue on this trajectory?
