OKLAHOMA CITY (September 15, 2020) – Oklahoma City-based Hall Capital recently closed its latest real estate fund, Hall Capital Real Estate Fund II, LP (RE II) at $75 million, making it the largest of its real estate funds to date. The fund will target acquisitions of income-producing multi-tenant office and industrial properties located in the southeast and southwest United States. The fund has already made its first acquisition, an office building in Charleston, S.C.Fred Hall, chairman and CEO of Hall Capital, noted that RE II continues the principles that have made past Hall Capital funds successful.
“In every fund we’ve ever done, we are one of the largest investors on the same terms as all other investors,” said Fred Hall. “We are investors, first and foremost; we don’t pursue deals unless we are willing to invest our own money. That philosophy has been a core principle of our company for the last 100 years, and we won’t deviate the next 100 years.”
Kirk Hall and Clay Moss of Hall Capital will manage RE II, as they did with the company’s previous real estate fund. They will be assisted by members of the Hall Capital team working out of offices in Oklahoma City, Nashville, Chicago, Tulsa and Dallas.
“We look at many real estate deals before we choose the ones we pursue, and that conservative approach is why our first real estate fund was successful,” said Kirk Hall, vice chairman and CFO. “Ideally, we look for office and industrial investments in the $15-40 million-dollar range that have good operating history. Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and the Carolinas will be our main markets, but we look at all markets in the southeastern and southwestern U.S.”
“If we could find more warehouses like ours located in OKC, we would be thrilled for this fund to invest in buildings identical to them. Newer buildings, great locations and existing tenants that can stand the test of time are investments we like to make,” said Clay Moss, managing director and COO of real estate.
This is Hall Capital’s fourth independent investment fund launched since 2006 and the second that is focused on real estate. The company’s previous real estate fund closed at $60 million in 2014 and has deployed all of its capital.
