I've been doing some investigating.
Charles Street Buildings Group has deep historical ties to Leicester and owns a vast portfolio of properties there.
In late 2024, the Dallas-based private equity firm Lone Star Funds partnered up & acquired a major portion of the group's mixed asset portfolio (about 40 assets) for nearly £580 million. Charles Street Buildings continues to hold and operate out of the East Midlands.
The global private equity firm Lone Star Funds is owned by its founder and chairman, John P. Grayken. Under his ownership, the Dallas-based firm focuses on distressed assets, real estate, corporate equity, and credit.
