Both vehicles are targeting value-added and opportunistic investments, targeting gross returns of between 18% and 20%.
Lubert-Adler is targeting medium-sized apartment, retail, and mixed-use assets.
Minnesota had a made a total of $1.675bn of commitments to real estate partnerships at the end of March 2017. Most of these were for value-add and opportunistic strategies.
It has invested with Blackstone, Angelo Gordon, Colony Capital, Rockpoint, Rockwood and TA Associates.
