CRP IX will seek to continue Carlyle Realty's established investment strategy focused on opportunistic U.S. real estate. The newest fund aims to invest in sectors including residential, industrial, life science, and self-storage.

Carlyle Realty Partners VIII (CRP VIII), its predecessor, raised $5.5 billion in commitments in 2018.

Robert Stuckey, Managing Director and Head of Carlyle's U.S. Real Estate team, said, "Significant investor demand is a testament to the caliber of our team and the opportunity we see for compelling property investments across select markets.

Investors in the fund include Florida State Board of Administration, Tallahassee; Minnesota State Board of Investment, St. Paul; Virginia Retirement System, Richmond; Michigan Retirement Systems, East Lansing; Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System, Harrisburg; Illinois Teachers' Retirement System, Springfield; Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System, Frankfort; and District of Columbia Retirement Board.
