The Inland Real Estate Group, LLC, a member of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc., has launched a new institutional asset management platform, Inland Institutional, LLC, aimed at delivering comprehensive alternative investment solutions to institutional investors. 

The new platform will focus on demographic-driven, specialized real estate sectors, including multifamily, self-storage, student housing, and medical office—segments that continue to attract institutional interest due to their long-term structural demand and income-generating potential. 

“Institutional investors are actively seeking broader access to alternative real estate assets needed to enhance portfolio diversification and resilience,” said Tony Chereso, President and CEO of Inland. “We are uniquely positioned to provide a differentiated asset management platform to directly address the desire to enhance returns and diversification through alternatives.” 

The platform leverages Inland’s 50 years of expertise, having raised over $30 billion in capital and executed more than $14 billion in institutional transactions. Inland Institutional integrates in-house capabilities in acquisitions, financing, asset and property management, fund administration, and proactive risk management. 

“Our deep experience in specialized real estate transactions coupled with our established reputation as a leading operator give us a distinct advantage in sourcing and capitalizing on attractive opportunities within these specialized sectors,” added Chereso.  

With approximately $16 billion in assets under management, Inland enters the institutional marketplace with the scale, credibility, and infrastructure to serve as a premier alternative asset manager focused on durable, income-oriented strategies.
