Partners Group Pairs French Housing Drive With Cautious Data-Centre Outlook as US Fund Meets a Fraction of Exit Requests
Published on 11/11/2026 at 16:50 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Partners Group has set out a trio of moves spanning French residential property, insurance-wrapped infrastructure and the US data-centre market — while its flagship US private equity vehicle returned only a slice of the capital investors asked to withdraw.
At the Partners Group Private Equity Fund, LLC, redemption requests reached $2.21 billion. The fund bought back shares worth $728 million, leaving the volume of requested withdrawals well above the value of units actually repurchased. The figures relate to that fund alone.
Scarcity Premium Tied to Secured Capacity
In a market outlook published on 5 November, the Swiss asset manager said it expects tougher development conditions for US data centres. Those conditions could make projects more selective, the firm argued, while the scarcity premium for capacity with power supply, permits and tenants already locked in could rise.
The outlook draws a clear line between new development projects and capacity that is already secured. Partners Group explicitly attaches the potential higher scarcity premium to assured supply, the necessary permits and existing tenants.

Two Forward Purchases Secure 560 Units
On the French housing side, the firm launched a residential strategy on 4 November with a targeted gross asset value of EUR 300 million. The "French New Living" strategy, as reported by CoStar, is aimed at roughly 2,000 rental apartments for young adults in France.
Two forward-purchase agreements have already secured 560 dwellings in the Greater Paris area, specifically in Choisy-le-Roi and Pantin. The targeted scope of the strategy covers both the gross asset value and the number of apartments.
Infrastructure ELTIF Sold Through Insurers
Alongside Société Générale Assurances and Société Générale Private Banking, Partners Group launched the "Partners Group Infrastructures Privées FPS ELTIF" fund. Structured as an evergreen vehicle, it targets French investors and is designed for inclusion in life insurance policies.

The portfolio is set to hold more than 15 infrastructure assets at launch. The product is an open-ended ELTIF with no fixed term, available exclusively as a unit-linked option within Société Générale Assurances life insurance offerings — meaning access to the fund runs through those insurance products.
