The flagship Fund:KV RE
Equity Partners Fund I Limited Partnership
KV RE Equity Partners Fund I Limited Partnership helps fill the important need for developers to have access to a western Canadian based equity sponsor with a mandate to invest in mid-size projects.
The Fund offers KV Capital's investors the opportunity to participate in developer profits by co-investing alongside experienced and well-capitalized developers in projects located in major western Canadian markets such as Alberta (Calgary and Edmonton), BC (Okanagan Valley), and Saskatchewan (Saskatoon and Regina).
Launched in the summer of 2022, the Fund has now successfully completed its first capital commitment raise and is currently deploying capital into investment opportunities.
