$21-million-dollar fund will provide Canadian investors access to U.S. equity developments
VANCOUVER, BC, April 11, 2023 /CNW/ - Trez Capital, one of North America's leading non-bank commercial real estate lenders and alternative investment asset managers, is proud to announce the successful close of the Trez Capital US Opportunity Fund #6 Limited Partnership (TOF#6, or the Fund), which raised over USD $21 million for opportunistic equity investments in ground-up construction of multi-family residential assets in Texas.
This is Trez Capital's sixth US Opportunity Fund since 2015. The Class A and Class F investments in the Fund were brokered by Richardson Wealth Limited (Richardson Wealth).
"Trez Capital is one of the largest private commercial real estate financiers in Canada and the United States and offers private and institutional investors strategies to invest in a variety of mortgage funds, syndication offerings and real estate joint-venture investments," said Sandra Ferenz, Managing Director, Portfolio Manager & Product Strategy, Trez Capital. "The TOF#6 offering focuses on multi-family equity assets that can be stabilized and sold by the third year to return our investors capital and share of profits."
The Fund offers a focused strategy with a successful joint-venture partnership in Texas. The multi-family market in Texas shows strong year-over-year (YOY) rental growth and continues to generate attractive appreciation within the asset class, outpacing recent increases in construction costs. The Fund's plan is to hold projects that can be sold in three years.
John Hutchinson, Vice-Chairman & Global Head of Origination, Trez Capital, said "Trez Capital has partnered with trusted and experienced developers in the U.S. to establish numerous joint-venture development projects with proforma pre-tax internal rate of returns (IRRs) of approximately 15%-30% to our investors via our Build-to-Sell strategy. Since 2013, we have proven our ability to source well-established developers, while applying a rigorous due diligence and monitoring process protecting our investors, leading to completed projects delivering above-market pre-tax IRRs."
The concentrated strategy with Thompson Realty Capital and their expertise has resulted in a projected stabilized yield-on-cost that is at least 100 basis points (bps) higher than the stabilized market cap rate. Thompson Realty Capital and Trez Capital have a successful track record of delivering projects with over 20% pre-tax IRRs to investors with the Fund targeting between an 18% to 22% pre-tax IRR. Together with Richardson Wealth, Trez Capital has brought this U.S. investment opportunity to Canadian investors.
"Through the difficult market landscape of 2022, because of Trez Capital's expertise, we were able to structure a unique, value-added real estate investment opportunity in a highly sought-after geographical area for our high-net-worth (HNW) clients. This investment opportunity was very well received, and we look forward to developing more unique commercial real estate opportunities for our clients with the help of Trez Capital." said Romain Marguet, Director, Alternative Investments at Richardson Wealth.
