NEW YORK & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chicago-based Waterton and New York-based Park Madison Partners today announced the final close of Waterton Residential Property Venture XII, L.P. (“Venture XII”) with $511 million of equity committed. Venture XII will pursue a value-add investment strategy focused on multifamily properties in the top 12-15 markets throughout the United States. Venture XII’s investor base includes a broadly diversified mix of new and existing investors.
For Waterton, Venture XII marks the latest in a series of multifamily investment vehicles stretching back to 1995.

Venture XII was also targeting $500 million of commitments, closing just ahead of target.

Waterton has a deep and experienced team, superior operating capabilities, and consistently strong performance.”

We appreciate their confidence in our team and strategy,” said David Schwartz, Co-Founder, Co-Chairman, and CEO of Waterton. “Working with the Park Madison team made for an efficient and successful fundraising process, as it did for Venture XI, and we are thankful for their continued support.”
Venture XII’s investment strategy is consistent with strategies Waterton has been successfully executing for 20 years.
