New Fund Land

Mothers, hide your infill properties. There's a new $50 million fund going around. Innovative Capital Advisors is teaming up with HSA to launch the new ICA Real Estate Equity Fund I, largely backed by the fund managers' own capital.

(Bonus: We may one day get to write this sentence: Intense interest in infill in Indiana inundates industry....indubitably.)
