Woodvale, the Atlanta-based private equity real estate firm, has officially launched Woodvale Opportunity Fund II, a $100 million investment vehicle designed to acquire high-quality commercial real estate during a period marked by economic uncertainty, market dislocation and a sustained wave of approaching loan maturities. 

The announcement follows the successful closing and deployment of Woodvale Opportunity Fund I, which acquired four Marriott-branded hotel properties across Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi — comprising a strong portfolio of hospitality assets secured at optimal pricing.

“Our playbook works,” said Rahim Charania, Founder and Managing Partner of Woodvale. “By staying liquid and moving quickly, we capitalized on market volatility and delivered real returns to our investors. With Fund II, we’re going bigger and aiming to repeat that success on a larger scale.”

With the backdrop of ongoing debt maturities, constrained capital markets, and declining asset values, Fund II will target hospitality, multifamily and transitional commercial properties with compelling upside. Woodvale will continue its focus on the Southeast and Central U.S., leveraging its operating capabilities and deep regional networks to source and execute transactions.

“The year 2024 was marked by dislocation and illiquidity — a perfect storm for well-capitalized and strategic investors,” said Bashir Mansour, Vice President of Acquisitions at Woodvale. “We believe the buying window remains open, and Fund II will capitalize on this opportunity.”

As global capital increasingly turns toward U.S.-based real estate for stability and long-term value, Woodvale sees significant tailwinds for strategic domestic deployment. With its focused investment thesis, agile structure and demonstrated execution capability, Woodvale is positioning Fund II to seize what it sees as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for outsized returns.
