Catalyst IOS Announces Oversubscribed $400 Million Final Close of Third Fund

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Catalyst Investment Partners (“Catalyst”), one of the largest owners and operators of industrial outdoor storage (“IOS”), today announced the final close of its third fund (“Fund III”) at its hard cap of $400 million in limited partner commitments. The fund exceeded its original $300 million target and was substantially oversubscribed, with investor demand approaching twice the target and well in excess of the hard cap. Fund III progressed from first to final close in just seven months, reflecting strong conviction in Catalyst’s differentiated strategy and strong track record. Commitments came from a broad range of institutional investors, including pension funds, endowments, foundations, and family offices.

Founded five years ago by former SL Green colleagues Dan Haroun and Max Heiden, Catalyst is leading the creation of a new, underserved real estate category. The 32-person Catalyst team has built a highly curated portfolio of over 140 IOS sites in high-barrier-to-entry, densely populated markets with strong long-term rent growth fundamentals. With this latest fund, Catalyst is poised to expand its portfolio to over 250 sites and scale the platform to approximately $1.5 billion in gross asset value.

“We are grateful to our new and existing investors for their partnership and support,” said Max Heiden, Co-Founder and Partner at Catalyst. “The oversubscription of Fund III underscores the growing recognition of IOS as a durable real estate asset class and our highly differentiated approach to the sector.”

IOS properties are in strong demand from a wide range of credit tenants across industries such as data center and infrastructure contractors, autonomous vehicle fleet management, EV charging networks, equipment rental providers, waste management companies, logistics operators, and building materials distributors.

“We’re extremely proud of our team for their hard work and dedication, which is keeping Catalyst at the forefront of this emerging category,” said Dan Haroun, Co-Founder and Partner at Catalyst. “As capital continues to form around the sector, Catalyst is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunity.”

Incubation Capital served as exclusive placement agent for Fund III.
