Investment thesis

Holden Capital offers mezzanine debt as a capital partner to property developers seeking to conserve their own cash contribution on development projects. By diluting a developer's cash input, the firm aims to boost cash IRR substantially. Loans range from $2 million to $20 million per project, with a maximum loan-to-cost ratio of 90% and funding costs varying from 20-30% per annum depending on project quality, sponsor strength and progress. Security is typically limited to the subject property via a second mortgage, and the firm emphasizes a streamlined credit process with term sheets often issued within days.
