Crow Holdings forms JV, retail investment platform with CHC and global institutional investor

Crow Holdings, together with its investment management business, Crow Holdings Capital (CHC), has formed a joint venture and retail investment platform with a global institutional investor.

The retail real estate platform was formed through the recapitalization of an existing $1.8 billion, 173-property portfolio owned by two real estate funds managed by CHC. This partnership enables CHC to expand its retail investment strategy of acquiring small-format, convenience-oriented, open-air food and service shopping centers and to continue capitalizing on the opportunity to aggregate an institutional-quality portfolio in a highly fragmented market, according to Crow Holdings.

The platform’s portfolio includes properties located across key primary and secondary markets in more than 50 cities in more than 30 U.S. states. The focus is on dense, affluent markets located near major suburban population and employment hubs currently benefiting from positive net in-migration, recor
