Real-estate developers are launching a series of residential projects in San Francisco, responding to new efforts by the state and city to create more housing in one of the country’s most expensive places to live. In what would be the city’s most ambitious residential development in several years, local property developer Bayhill Ventures last month announced plans for a 71-story rental tower in San Francisco’s ailing financial district. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Failure of Bid for Origin Energy Signals Rising Power of Funds

Dec. 4, 2023 11:47 pm ET|WSJ ProSYDNEY—The failure of an US$11 billion takeover bid for Origin Energy marks the beginning of a cycle where long-term investors could play a more dominant role in capital markets.That is the view of Andrew Polson, chief executive of Frontier Advisors, which advises institutional clients who own around 630 billion Australian dollars (US$417.12 billion) in assets. After a wave of mergers in recent years, pension funds in Australia have been increasing their firepower to support investments by companies that until now have largely had to turn to banks, a deep-pocketed buyer or equity raising.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
