CBRE IM, Accelerate Close $630M Raise to Scale Infrastructure Platform
CBRE Investment Management and Accelerate Infrastructure Opportunities have closed a $630 million primary capital raise, bringing total equity committed to their infrastructure platform to $1.26 billion as institutional demand for real assets continues to grow.
The latest raise includes additional commitments from CBRE IM-managed funds alongside new investments from global institutions, including Mubadala Investment Company and Australian Retirement Trust. The capital will support the continued expansion of a diversified portfolio of infrastructure-linked real estate assets.
Launched in December 2022, the platform focuses on acquiring and managing sites tied to digital connectivity, renewable energy and transportation networks. To date, the strategy has assembled more than 400 infrastructure sites across 47 U.S. states.
“This capital reflects deep alignment with long-term institutional partners who understand the durability of infrastructure cash flows,” said Brennan Potts, Founder and CEO of Accelerate. “Our strategy is built on acquiring infrastructure sites that underpin digital connectivity, renewable energy, and mobility, and scaling them through disciplined execution.”
The transaction underscores continued investor appetite for infrastructure assets offering stable, long-duration income streams and inflation-linked characteristics.
“This strategic capital raise will enable Accelerate to continue to scale its diversified portfolio of key infrastructure assets and deliver durable infrastructure cash flows to investors,” added Robert Shaw, Managing Director at CBRE Investment Management.
