In this installment of our new series on real estate and financing hot topics in 2009, Kay Gordon of K&L Gates LLP discusses why the private equity real estate funds are used and issues arising with forming a private equity real estate fund; explores trends in investment strategies and leverage (including traditional subscription facilities and after-care facilities and project level financing); addresses the legal structure and typical business terms of private equity real estate funds, and conflicts of interests affecting such funds; and discusses the role of mega-private equity interest and other trends in international real estate finance. Our presenter also discusses structuring considerations including taxation and employee benefit issues, as well as direct fund investments in real estate and fund-of-funds.
