In January 2014 Dekel Capital launched Dekel Strategic Investors (DSI), a JV-equity platform to provide equity capital to real estate developers engaging in multifamily, senior housing, student housing, and retail development projects. Over the past 18 months, the DSI has invested over $65 million across nine projects throughout the United States. DSI will continue to fill the recognized gap in the capital markets for equity investment between $3 and $10 million and is targeting a total of $100 million of JV-equity investment by year end.
Shlomi Ronen noted, “We continue see a window of opportunity in the multi-family and senior housing sector that is a result of the improving US economy and unmet tenant demand for quality housing in multiple primary and secondary markets throughout the US.”
