Kinect closes Opportunity Fund II and appoints investor relations directors

Kinect Real Estate Partners announced the close of its second GP fund, Kinect Opportunity Fund II, at $126.5 million against a $100 million target. The vehicle focuses on multifamily development and value-add opportunities in western markets. The firm also announced Ali Winrow and Anna-Marie Allander Lieb as investor relations and fundraising directors. Kinect was founded in 2025 by BJ Kuula and Mike Paulus and is affiliated with American Capital Group. The release distinguishes the fundraise from ACG's historical operating track record and the development pipeline.
