Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners ("WDIP") announced the successful closing of its seventh discretionary equity fund, Fund VII, a $135 million value-add and opportunistic vehicle focused on middle market multifamily and industrial real estate across the U.S.
Fund VII, managed by Brian Cornell, Ryan Castle, Marcus Duley, and Mitch Resnick, has already seeded eight investments, totaling over 50% of its capital commitments, and is well on its way to fully deploying into what the team believes to be an exceptionally favorable market. The fund targets 15%+ net returns and 1.5x+ net multiples by capitalizing on underutilized and mispriced assets with actionable value enhancement plans. The fund's core focus is on middle market deals with equity checks ranging from $5 million to $25 million, targeting investments that often fly under the institutional radar.
