Illinois SURS builds on partnership with Crow Holdings Capital

by Kali Persall

The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) of Illinois has approved a $50 million commitment to Crow Holdings Realty Partners IX, a value-add real estate fund managed by Crow Holdings Capital Partners.

Crow Holdings Realty Partners IX seeks to acquire value-add real estate assets in the United States, primarily focusing on the multifamily, convenience and gas station, industrial, retail, self-storage, and student housing sectors. The fund opened to investors in November 2019.

The investment builds on an existing relationship between SURS and Crow Holdings, a spokesperson for the fund told IREI in an email. The pension fund previously committed $35 million to Crow Holdings Realty Partners Fund VII and $20 million to Fund VIIIA.

Other investors in the fund include the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board.

SURS has a 7.1 percent allocation to real estate and a 10 percent target to the asset class.
