CHICAGO—Chicago-based real estate private equity firm Origin Investments has completed the final closing for its $150 million Fund III, and company officials say it paves the way to acquire about $600 million in value added properties.

The $151.4 million raised came from more than 450 different investors and is Origin’s largest fund to date.  Origin’s first two funds are currently on track to generate more than a 24% annualized net return. The company had gone after a range of property types including medical office, multifamily, office, industrial and retail, but the third fund will focus on underperforming multifamily and office projects.
