**Kennedy Wilson and Tokyu Land US Launch Real Estate Investment Platform**
Kennedy Wilson has announced a partnership with Tokyu Land US Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyu Land Corporation, to establish a new real estate investment platform focused on preferred equity and mezzanine credit strategies. This initiative is aimed at expanding the capabilities of Kennedy Wilson’s credit platform, which is based in Beverly Hills, California.
The joint venture plans to deploy more than $200 million in investments, targeting preferred equity and mezzanine loans for high-quality sponsors in multifamily and industrial projects across the United States. The platform is specifically focused on markets that possess strong, growing local economies, quality amenities, and proximity to employment hubs.
Kennedy Wilson will retain a 10% ownership stake in the venture and will also serve as the manager of the investments.
“The preferred equity and mezzanine investments platform will benefit from the complementary strengths of the Kennedy Wilson and Tokyu teams, as well as the track record, relationships, and unique market knowledge our companies bring to the table,” said Matt Windisch, President of Kennedy Wilson.
This new strategic partnership underscores both firms’ commitment to capitalizing on emerging opportunities in key U.S. real estate markets.
