On 12 January 2026, InfraVia announced completion of OREIMA’s integration and effective merger following the partnership and acquisition announced in 2023. Former OREIMA teams now operate under the InfraVia brand and constitute its Real Estate vertical alongside Infrastructure, Growth Equity and Critical Metals. OREIMA’s established approach focuses on prime city-centre properties with repositioning and refurbishment opportunities. The integrated team retains this approach while gaining access to InfraVia’s operating infrastructure, ESG capabilities, digital resources, international network and investor relations function. Founder Brigitte Sagnes Dupont continues as InfraVia’s real estate partner. The source describes a completed organizational integration after two years, rather than a newly announced standalone acquisition. No acquisition consideration or transaction valuation is disclosed; the historic partnership and subsequent merger should both remain in the record.

Wells Fargo’s operating-lease rail portfolio sale was announced on May 29, 2025 and completed on January 1, 2026. The buyer was a venture between GATX and Brookfield Infrastructure with institutional partners. At closing, approximately 101,000 railcars transferred for approximately USD 4.2 billion. The initial announcement had described 105,000 railcars and USD 4.4 billion; the closing disclosure reflects the final fleet count. GATX manages the acquired operating assets. Separately, Brookfield acquired the finance-lease portfolio, including approximately 22,000 railcars and 400 locomotives, also managed by GATX. The operating portfolio price should not be assigned to that separate transaction. GATX expected modest first-year earnings accretion followed by larger contributions.
