Blackstone has closed its Blackstone Capital Opportunities Fund V at its $10 billion hard cap. The fund was oversubscribed and represents the firm's largest opportunistic credit vehicle to date. Managed by the Blackstone Credit & Insurance division, the fund will target private corporate credit and structured solutions globally. The move follows a successful track record for the strategy, which has delivered a 13 per cent net IRR since 2007.
Ahold Delhaize USA has secured a $475 million investment from Blackstone Credit & Insurance to develop a new, highly automated distribution centre in Burlington, North Carolina. This strategic partnership utilizes a triple net lease structure, where Blackstone funds the total construction costs and retains ownership of the site while the retail giant manages operations. The project is designed to enhance the supply chain for the Food Lion brand, creating over 500 jobs and integrating advanced technology to streamline grocery delivery across the region.
