Nuveen’s global investing initiative
Earlier this year, Nuveen Real Estate aimed to launch a global impact investing sector across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific. Goals included $15 billion in real estate assets managed by the company by 2026. Projects targeted by the initiative are affordable, climate-safe and sustainable assets.
Recently, Nuveen Real Estate partnered with Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners to preserve 312 units of affordable housing in a 75-year-old community in Washington, D.C. The acquisition ensured that 100 percent of the homes are restricted to residents earning less than 60 percent of the area median income.
