Repeat borrowers accounted for more than half of total dollar volume, fueling the firm’s continued coast-to-coast expansion

NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Realty Capital (MRC) announced that it closed over $2.2 billion in financing and note purchases in 2019. The nationwide transactions, between $7.8 million and $345 million, touched all major asset classes and included deals in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, California, Washington and Massachusetts. MRC’s second consecutive $2 billion-plus year and continued national expansion was bolstered by the firm’s strong relationships with repeat borrowers—which accounted for more than half of total dollar volume—and several transactions with world-renowned sponsors including Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental and Raffles. The firm’s debt investment platform focuses on originating senior-secured loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments in the middle-market as well as performing note purchases and acquiring non-performing loans.  

Highlights in 2019 included:

• $345 million loan for a portfolio of stabilized multifamily assets, and the construction of a luxury mixed-use rental building in Beverly Hills, CA.
• $314 million construction loan on the Raffles Boston Back Bay Hotel & Residences, a mixed-use project in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood.
