    Moves From Private Equity Giants: What Invesco Has Bought And Sold In The Last 24 Months

    Private equity real estate firm Invesco has been quite the go-getter as of late, making moves on property on all sides of the country. Not planning a slowdown, the firm just put together a $500M Asian real estate fund, looking to expand its high-yield business in the Far East. Here's a breakdown of some of Invesco's biggest moves over the past two years.

    In its first big move into Playa Vista, a fast-growing area of Silicon Beach in LA, Invesco grabbed this chunk of creative office space in February 2015. The former US Postal Service property was picked up by Shorenstein and Jeff Worthe for just $44M four years earlier. And after a good bit of TLC, the JV made a sweet chunk of change on it.
