DENVER and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners, Inc. (WDIP), announced today that it has partnered with Pacific Life to form a $500 million programmatic joint venture.

The joint venture will make equity investments in multifamily and industrial properties across the United States. Focusing on the robust middle market of real estate, the partnership will invest $15 million to $50 million in equity per deal alongside sponsors with track records of successful value-add transactions. WDIP expects the joint venture to invest in up to 30 assets with a total value in excess of $1.5 billion.
