Belmont Real Estate Fund II (BRE II) is an opportunistic real estate fund that invests in all five real estate sectors - Industrial, Office, Apartments, Retail and Hotels.  The Fund invested $400 million in equity.  BRE II was projected to return a 20%+ IRR and a 4.0x+ equity multiple.  The fund terms are as follows:

• European Waterfall
• LP Preferred Return of 10%
• Catch up is 50/50
• Carried Interest split is 80/20
