The acquisition of Wingate will allow CLI to expand its private credit business and portfolio in Australia, enlarging its proprietary deal origination networks and enhancing its access to institutional and wealthy private investors in the market.
Upon the completion of the deal, CLI’s will add logistics, business park, office, and lodging assets across nine Australian cities to its portfolio.
