BKM Partners with StepStone Real Estate
BKM Capital Partners, a Newport Beach, CA real estate fund manager and operator, has partnered with StepStone Real Estate (SRE), the real estate arm of the $138 billion global private markets investment firm StepStone Group.
Through a GP-led secondary direct transaction, the partnership began with SRE’s acquisition of BKM’s limited partners’ interests in two large, stabilized industrial properties in Las Vegas, NV and Burbank, CA.
The partnership invests alongside BKM Industrial Value Fund II, the second in BKM’s series of value-add funds focused on small- and mid-bay light industrial properties, which includes Pacific Business Center, a 748K square-foot Class-A light industrial park in Henderson, NV and Backlot Burbank, a 306K square-foot Class-A light industrial park in Burbank, CA.
SRE plans to expand its portfolio by co-investing in additional small- and mid-bay light industrial assets across the Western US.
“Combining our expertise in value-add real estate investment with StepStone’s proven track record in the global real estate market, we are poised to unlock unparalleled opportunities,” said Brian Malliet, Founder and CEO of BKM Capital Partners.
