Terra Firma Capital Corporation Launches US$37.5 Million Debt Fund
January 28 2021 - 8:00AM
Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX-V: TII)
("
Terra Firma" or the
"
Company"), a real estate finance company, today
announced the formation and launch of its first debt fund targeted
for financing residential land and lot inventory for developers and
landowners in the growing and vibrant U.S. housing market. The
$37.5 million fund is comprised of $32.5 million of equity and $5.0
million of debt and is part of a series of anticipated funds to be
created in the future. Terra Firma will co-invest $3.375 million of
equity in this first debt fund. The fund is fully subscribed.
"The debt fund is a natural evolution of our
loan syndication activity. To date, Terra Firma has raised over
$400 million from a network of private investors on a deal-by-deal
basis. The objective of this new initiative is to continue to offer
investment opportunities to our private investors through a fund
structure that affords a more efficient mode of investment coupled
with the benefits of diversification of their holdings and duration
of their investments. Furthermore, the fund offers private
investors the ability to earn higher returns due to a modest level
of leverage through its line of credit," said Y. Dov Meyer,
Executive Chairman of Terra Firma Capital Corporation. "In the
future, we plan on growing our private capital through subsequent
funds, including funds dedicated to different loan products and
strategies, depending on market conditions and investor
demand."
About Terra Firma
Terra Firma is a full service, publicly traded
real estate finance company that provides real estate financings
secured by investment properties and real estate developments in
Canada and throughout the United States. The Company focuses on
arranging and providing financing with flexible terms to real
estate developers and owners who require shorter-term loans to
bridge a transitional period of one to five years where they
require capital at various stages of development or redevelopment
of a property. These loans are typically repaid with lower cost,
longer-term debt obtained from other Canadian financial
institutions once the applicable transitional period is over or the
redevelopment is complete, or from proceeds generated from the sale
of the real estate assets. Terra Firma offers a full spectrum of
real estate financing under the guidance of strict corporate
governance, clarity and transparency. For further information
