VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 10/04/12 — Second City Capital Partners is pleased to announce that it has secured capital commitments totaling $102,500,000 for City II, an opportunistic real estate fund targeting value add acquisitions in the United States and Canada.
City II-s current portfolio includes 5 properties; a 242,000 SF Class A office tower in St. Petersburg, Florida; a 594,000 SF office complex in Denver, Colorado (in partnership); a 55,000 SF medical / retail facility in Peoria, Arizona; a 170,000 SF Class B+ office tower in Orlando, Florida; and a Class A condominium building in Brooklyn, New York.
