WASHINGTON, DC–Local developer Penzance is moving afield with the closure of its first real estate private equity fund: the Penzance DC Real Estate Fund LP, which has total equity commitments of $255 million.

The fund's investor base includes institutional investors, including endowments, foundations, and family offices. It will target value-add investments in residential and commercial properties and mixed-use development throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan region.
