Partnership Acquires 50% Stake in Dallas-Based Developer KDC with Eye Toward Acquisitions

Toronto-based Cadillac Fairview in partnership with Dallas-based Compatriot Capital has acquired a 50% interest in Dallas-based developer.

KDC will continue developing corporate office facilities across the U.S., while also focusing on the development and acquisition of high-quality, mixed-use projects. Coinciding with the partnership, Cadillac Fairview, Compatriot Capital and KDC have closed on their initial $800 million U.S. commercial office and mixed-use fund. The fund marks new ground for KDC and will serve as a long-term investment vehicle for the partners, bolstering their combined portfolio of Class A office and mixed-use properties.

“For more than 30 years, the KDC team has been focused on developing commercial office buildings and custom corporate homes for some truly great companies in the U.S.,” said KDC CEO Steve Van Amburgh. “As we look to the future, now is the best time to take the next step and elevate our growth model with two dynamic partners: Cadillac Fairview and Compatriot Capital.”
