CIM Group

CIM operates as a vertically-integrated owner, operator, lender, and developer across three platforms: real estate, infrastructure, and credit. The firm directly manages the assets it invests in, from due diligence through to disposition, rather than functioning solely as a fund manager. Its client base includes institutional investors, individual investors, co-investors, borrowers, and tenants, creating multiple layers of alignment and revenue generation.

CIM reports its scale as $32.0 billion in assets owned and operated (AOO), not as assets under management. AOO aggregates the assets the firm owns and operates on behalf of partners and co-investors without duplication. This metric reflects CIM's model of direct operational control across its portfolio, where the firm frequently contributes its own capital alongside external partners.

CIM structures its investment activity through three platforms. The real estate platform owns and operates thousands of leaseable properties across the Americas. The infrastructure platform targets next-generation digital infrastructure, recently forming a permanent power company. The credit platform provides lending across the broader real asset ecosystem the firm already operates within.

In September 2025, CIM announced the formation of a permanent power company as part of its infrastructure platform. The new entity secured a long-term power purchase agreement with an unnamed but investment-grade offtaker. The financing commitment came from HPS Investment Partners, a major credit-focused alternative investment firm (per the firm, September 2025).

CIM Group maintains a global presence with assets across the Americas and Europe. The firm's real estate platform holds thousands of properties in prime locations, primarily across the Americas. It operates from its Los Angeles headquarters and references additional office locations, though specific city details beyond Los Angeles are not publicly enumerated on its website.
