KKR invests $475 million for 49% stake in Alexandria’s San Diego life‑science Campus Point megacampus

KKR has entered a joint‑venture with Alexandria Real Estate Equities, providing $475 million for a 49% non‑controlling equity interest in the Campus Point megacampus in San Diego. The investment gives KKR about 28.5% indirect ownership of the underlying property while Alexandria retains operational control. The nearly 2 million‑square‑foot campus is 98% leased to major life‑science tenants such as Novartis, Bristol Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly.

The capital infusion gives Alexandria liquidity to fund further development and tenant improvements, supporting its growth strategy. For KKR, the deal adds exposure to a high‑quality, long‑term income‑generating life‑science real‑estate asset.
