We finished our first year of fundraising for Urban Catalyst Fund II just before the New Year, and couldn’t be happier about the results.
We beat our target and raised more than 40% of our total fundraising goal of $200 million over our three-year fundraising timeline.
As we embark on our second year, let’s take a look at the projects our Fund II investors are invested in.
Icon will be a 420,000-square-foot office building, and Echo will house over 300 apartment units. The towers will feature large floor plates and rooftop gardens. Their location couldn’t be much better–in the heart of downtown, yards away from the future Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station, a block away from San Jose State University, and a short walk from the city’s restaurants and cultural amenities.
In fact, we recently closed on the third of four parcels needed for the Icon and Echo, and we’re slated to close on the final tract later this year. Meanwhile, our team is working closely with the city to ensure the two buildings are a big win for the city. Our staff is securing the permits, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.

- Potential for property value loss – All real estate investments have the potential to lose value during the life of the investments;

- Potential for foreclosure – All financed real estate investments have potential for foreclosure;

- Reduction or Elimination of Monthly Cash Flow Distributions – Like any investment in real estate, if a property unexpectedly loses tenants or sustains substantial damage, there is potential for suspension of cash flow distributions;

Opportunity Zone Disclosures
- Investing in opportunity zones is speculative. Opportunity zones are newly formed entities with no operating history. There is no assurance of investment return, property appreciation, or profits. The ability to resell the fund’s underlying investment properties or businesses is not guaranteed. Investing in opportunity zone funds may involve a higher level of risk than investing in other established real estate offerings.
- Long-term investment. Opportunity zone funds have illiquid underlying investments that may not be easy to sell and the return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment will generally occur only upon the partial or complete disposition or refinancing of such investments.
- Limited secondary market for redemption. Although secondary markets may provide a liquidity option in limited circumstances, the amount you will receive typically is discounted to current valuations.
- Difficult valuation assessment. The portfolio holdings in opportunity zone funds may be difficult to value because financial markets or exchanges do not usually quote or trade the holdings. As such, market prices for most of a fund’s holdings will not be readily available.
- Capital call default consequences. Meeting capital calls to provide managers with the pledged capital is a contractual obligation of each investor. Failure to meet this requirement in a timely manner could elicit significant adverse consequences, including, without limitation, the forfeiture of your interest in the fund.
- Opportunity zone funds may use leverage in connection with certain investments or participate in investments with highly leveraged capital structures. Leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and may increase the exposure of such investments to factors such as rising interest rates, downturns in the economy or deterioration in the condition of the assets underlying such investments.
- Unregistered investment. As with other unregistered investments, the regulatory protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not available with unregistered securities.
- It is possible, due to tax, regulatory, or investment decisions, that a fund, or its investors, are unable realize any tax benefits. You should evaluate the merits of the underlying investment and not solely invest in an opportunity zone fund for any potential tax advantage.
