We're pleased to announce that Oxford has acquired One Marina Park Drive in Boston's Seaport District for US$435M. This landmark transaction marks Oxford's first stabilized office acquisition in the US in nearly a decade, after recycling approximately US$14B out of the office sector globally between 2018-2022, and reflects our disciplined approach to investing through market cycles. Located within the Fan Pier waterfront mixed-use development, the approximately 500,000 sq. ft. Class A tower is LEED Gold-certified, 99% leased, and home to a diverse roster of leading companies. Its premier waterfront location, high occupancy, and diverse customer base further strengthens Oxford's position as one of Boston’s largest landlords with over 3.2 million sq. ft. of high-quality office space across the city’s three core submarkets. One Marina Park Drive also presents another opportunity for Oxford to leverage its local leasing, operational, and asset management expertise to enhance the customer experience and drive its business forward.

Building a leading Private Equity platform requires multiple ways to access opportunity. As OMERS Private Equity continues to expand its external funds program, we are pleased to welcome Adam Buzanis as Managing Director, Head of Funds. Adam brings deep experience across global private markets, including primary funds, co-investments and secondaries. He will lead the continued development of our external Private Equity funds strategy, helping deepen relationships with high-quality managers and expand co-investment opportunities across our portfolio. His appointment reflects the next stage in the evolution of OMERS Private Equity. Alongside our direct investing capabilities, the funds program broadens how we access private markets, strengthens global relationships and creates greater flexibility in how we deploy capital over time. We look forward to the perspective and expertise Adam will bring as we continue building a more connected and globally diversified platform for OMERS members.

Private capital is often measured in transactions, but its foundation is relationships. We’re pleased to see Lane McDonald, Managing Director, Operations & Strategy at OMERS Private Equity and Co-Founder of SWIPE (Senior Women in Private Equity) Network, join fellow Co-Founder Julia Boyd, Kristine Robinson, Founder of Women in Private Capital Canada, and Dani Lipkin of the TMX Group for a market open celebrating the contributions of women in private capital. By creating opportunities for women across Canada and around the world to connect, collaborate and support one another, SWIPE and WPCC are helping strengthen the relationships that drive value creation across the private capital ecosystem.
