Nashville-based investment manager, Covenant Capital Group, LLC, has raised $748 million for its latest value-add real estate fund. This is Covenant’s largest fund since its founding in 2001; capital to be deployed in value-add investments in multifamily communities.

Covenant Capital Group, LLC (“Covenant”), a leading real estate investment manager with an exclusive focus on value-add investments in apartment communities, announces it has closed on the largest fund in the firm’s 22-year history.

On December 22nd, Covenant Apartment Fund XI, L.P. closed with $748 million of committed capital.
