NEWARK, N.J., June 17, 2025 – PGIM Real Estate has completed three property acquisitions, located in Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington, for a total of $346.9 million on behalf of the PGIM Private Real Estate Fund, Inc., the firm’s tender offer REIT registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that provides access to private real estate for individual investors. The transactions reflect PGIM Real Estate’s view that real estate markets are in recovery.
“The real estate market recovery is gaining significant momentum, coming back from a steep value correction across property sectors,” said Darin Bright, head of U.S. core-plus investment strategies at PGIM Real Estate and senior portfolio manager for the PGIM Private Real Estate Fund. “We believe commercial real estate values bottomed in mid-2024, and we’ve since been taking advantage of a limited window of opportunity to deploy capital at the bottom of the cycle. We believe the real estate market will continue to benefit from positive fundamentals, driven by long-term demographic trends and particularly strong demand in the logistics and living sectors.”
PGIM Real Estate has been bullish on the global logistics sector since 2010. PGIM Real Estate believes e-commerce as well as a reconfiguration in supply chains continue to significantly increase demand for well-located distribution centers, thereby creating compelling opportunities for investors.
In addition, PGIM Real Estate believes the U.S. housing shortage, rising home ownership costs and a construction slowdown are expected to continue putting upward pressure on rental rates. The supply-demand imbalance coupled with a value reset presents an attractive entry point across all segments of the living sector.
The fund has entered into a joint venture partnership with Ryan Companies to acquire 2601 4th Avenue East in Shakopee, Minnesota, an 855,000-square-foot distribution facility that serves as Amazon’s anchor fulfillment center in the Minneapolis metropolitan area, for a purchase price of $100.7 million.
In North Brunswick, New Jersey, the fund acquired 1735 Jersey Avenue, a 358,000-square-foot fully leased industrial building, in partnership with Taconic Partners for a purchase price of $77.8 million.
Lastly, the fund closed on a $168.4 million gross investment of a 34-acre, 570-unit residential community in partnership with the Post Real Estate Group. The property is located in Mill Creek, Washington, approximately 20 miles north of Seattle.
PGIM Private Real Estate Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio of private real estate investments. The fund is accessible via an investor-friendly, daily-priced quarterly tender offer REIT structure, thereby providing individual investors expanded access to privately sourced real estate opportunities. The fund is managed by PGIM Investments LLC and subadvised by PGIM Real Estate, a top-three global real estate investment manager with $210 billion in assets under management.
Soultana Reigle, PGIM Real Estate’s head of U.S. equity and senior portfolio manager for U.S. value-add strategies, commented: “The vast majority of real estate is bought and sold in private markets. Historically, the funds that invest in these opportunities have only been accessible to institutions. We’ve run investment strategies for institutional investors for five decades, and this fund is part of a wider strategy to bring that knowledge and experience to individual investors. We believe these investors typically allocate very little to private markets and have relatively few options to invest in private real estate vehicles versus public equivalents. As familiarity and comfort with private markets grow among individual investors, we anticipate the appetite for funds such as ours to grow significantly.”

Investing in the PGIM Private Real Estate Fund involves certain risks and may not be able to achieve its intended results for a variety of reasons, including, among others, the possibility that the Fund may not be able to successfully implement its investment strategy because of market, economic, regulatory, geopolitical and other conditions. The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below. For further information on the Fund’s risks, please refer to the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
The Fund invests in:
- real estate investments, which pose certain risks related to overall and specific economic conditions as well as risks related to individual property, credit, and interest-rate fluctuations;
- commercial real estate industry, which is dependent upon broad economic conditions;
- residential real estate industry, which is subject to various changes in real estate conditions, and any negative trends in real estate conditions may adversely affect the Fund’s investments through decreased revenues or increased costs;
- mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the real property or the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the real property;
- commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which are subject to particular risks, including lack of standardized terms, shorter maturities than residential mortgage loans, and payment of all or substantially all of the principal only at maturity rather than regular amortization of principal;
- residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), which are subject to the risks of defaults, foreclosure timeline extension, fraud, home price depreciation, and unfavorable modification of loan principal amount, interest rate and amortization of principal accompanying the underlying residential mortgage loans;
- fixed income investments, which are subject to issuer, credit, market and interest rate risks (including duration risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk), and which will decline in value as interest rates rise;

- derivative securities, which may carry increased risk of principal loss due to imperfect correlation between the values of the derivatives and the underlying securities or unexpected price or interest rate movements and be subject to other risks such as market, credit, counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks;
- mortgage loans, which are subject to risks of delinquency and foreclosure and risks of loss that are greater than similar risks associated with loans made on the security of single-family residential property;
- and non-U.S. investments, which are subject to currency fluctuation, political uncertainty, and different regulatory standards than those of U.S. companies.
The Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with a limited history of operations or public trading and is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record and history on which to base their investment decision.
The Fund is subject to illiquid investment risk, in which many of the Fund’s investments will be illiquid, including the Fund’s real estate investments; liquidity risk, in which the Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and an investment in the Fund’s Common Stock should be considered illiquid; and prime single tenant risk, in which the Fund’s revenue is dependent on the success and economic viability of its tenants. This offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, meaning the Distributor and broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to sell any of the shares.
