VIUM Capital closed 42 transactions, totaling approximately $700 million, during 2021. Almost half of those transactions occurred during the fourth quarter, the Columbus-OH based senior housing and healthcare financial services firm reported this month.
Debt proceeds financed 58 projects “from Oregon to Florida” through both bridge and permanent loans, according to the company.
“2021 was remarkable in many ways,” VIUM Partner Brendan Healy said, adding that the company “closed more deals in the fourth quarter than any other quarter in our firm’s young history.” The firm launched in April 2020 with only three employees, and has grown to 20 employees and has closed nearly $1.5 billion in transactions.
According to Healy, the number of bridge and FHA/HUD loan closings were fairly even. Also, he said, healthcare and senior living deals were fairly balanced.
“Our team is comprised of a relatively even mix of seasoned financiers who worked together at our former shop and a crop of other talented individuals from a diverse array of backgrounds. It’s a special blend and one of the keys to our success,” said Partner Tony Ruberf, who is based in VIUM’s Boca Raton, FL, office.
