Six Institutional Funds Commit Over $100 Million to Fundrise

FundriseReal estate crowdfunding platform Fundrise has received commitments from six institutional funds for more than $100 million to invest on their platform. The specific fund names were not disclosed.

The significant amount of backing was qualified as due to Fundrise’s “success in tapping into the power of the crowd to originate deal flow at a lower cost”. The funds will utilize the Fundrise platform to invest in real estate projects over the next year in a number of major markets around the country. Fundrise explained this news as being beneficial for individual investors who will now be investing side by side with multi-billion dollar investors.

Benjamin Miller, Fundrise co-founder and CEO stated;ben miller fundrise popularise

“Individual investors on Fundrise will be able to invest in the same institutional quality real estate projects, in the same positions, with the same interest rates, as institutional funds and family offices.

Because of their size, institutions have historically invested in only the highest quality investments—that individuals could not normally access. With Fundrise, this is going to change.”

Fundrise also stated more capital equals more leverage  in negotiating terms for investors using their platform.  Miller expects to participate in “more iconic projects” across the United States.

Miller said, “We believe that these changes will substantially add value for our investors, by adding volume and more options to diversify into the highest quality projects.”
