Carlyle Group LP (CG), the second-largest private equity firm by assets, has spent about $2.5 billion betting on the U.S. housing recovery since late 2008. Only $10 million has been for single-family homes.

The firm is buying and building apartment properties after investing in about 50 multifamily projects over the past two years, said Robert Stuckey, Carlyle's head of U.S. real-estate investing. Washington-based Carlyle also is wagering on mortgage bonds that it started to acquire in October 2008 when prices tumbled during the credit crisis.
