Klein Enterprises Announces $50 Million Follow-on Capital Commitment from Almanac Realty Investors
Investment will drive Klein’s growth strategy and portfolio expansion
July 26, 2024, New York, NY — Almanac Realty Investors (“Almanac”), a business unit of Neuberger Berman, has committed $50 million of additional capital to Klein Enterprises, a vertically integrated investor, developer and operator of diversified real estate holdings, to further Klein’s growth strategy. In 2021, Almanac Realty and Klein Enterprises announced an initial investment of $200 million.
This additional capital commitment will allow Klein to pursue new and ongoing development and acquisition opportunities while the firm continues its strategic expansion throughout the East Coast with a primary focus on the Mid-Atlantic region.
Headquartered in Baltimore, Klein benefits from a 75-year operating history and a diversified portfolio of assets including approximately 3,000 residential units and over 3.5 million square feet of commercial properties, a total portfolio of more than 6 million square feet. The portfolio stretches from New Jersey to the Carolinas.
Klein intends to use the capital to further enhance and expand its diversified portfolio through continued acquisitions and development of multifamily, retail, and self-storage assets. This includes Klein’s recently announced development of “The Kempson”, a 272-unit luxury apartment building in Metuchen, New Jersey.
“This additional capital commitment reflects the confidence that Almanac has in our company and the success of our partnership,” said Daniel Klein, President of Klein Enterprises. “We look forward to acquiring and developing additional properties across all the sectors in our portfolio as we continue to deliver growing cash flow and equity appreciation for our investors and partners.”
Based in New York, Almanac is the private real estate investment arm of Neuberger Berman and one of the leading private equity firms focused on real estate platform-level investing. Almanac works alongside proven management teams, providing capital and resources to protect value, generate ongoing yield, and target significant portfolio growth.
