Nuveen Real Estate is a specialized investment manager with, by its March 31, 2022, count, $156 billion in assets under management. Global, across the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific. "Managing a suite of funds and mandates, across both public and private investments, and spanning both debt and equity across diverse geographies and investment styles, we provide access to every aspect of real estate investing," as the website notes.

The direct parent — Nuveen, a TIAA company — "currently manages over $900 billion in assets for a variety of investors including corporate and public pensions, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations, financial advisors, families and individuals."

But there's an expansion in the company's approach through a new arrangement with CrowdStreet, which offers crowdfunding from accredited investors for real estate. That would bring its fundraising in part online — a big change from traditional marketing.
