TORONTO, Ontario, October 29, 2020 – Gordon Wiebe, CEO of CCI Corpfin Capital Inc., is pleased to announce the closing of the first tranche of the up to $10,000,000 seed capital funding round (the “Initial Offering”) for its newly launched CCI Corpfin Capital Special Opportunity Fund 1 LP (the “Fund”). This Fund will specifically target investments in commercial real estate assets and debt instruments across Canada. The Fund will have opportunities to invest with selected co-venture partners as well as 100% ownership of the acquired assets.
CCI Corpfin Capital Inc. is the asset manager of the Fund. Using CCI Corpfin Capital Inc.’s expertise, proceeds of the Initial Offering will be used to seek investments relating to distressed equity and debt interests arising out of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on real estate in Canada.
Subsequent offerings will be open to existing limited partners of the Initial Offering and to institutional investors (pension funds, publicly traded companies, private equity funds and other large institutional capital groups) to continue with larger investments as the Fund continues its growth. Such offerings will be of limited partnership units of the CCI Corpfin Capital Special Opportunity Fund 1 LP for gross proceeds of a minimum of $10,000,000 to an aggregate maximum of $200,000,000 with a purchase price of no less than $25,000 per limited partnership unit. Such subsequent offerings will be available in multiple tranches and closings until October 23, 2023.
Investments will be made in income producing properties with emphasis on value and income distribution growth. It is the intention of the Fund to provide quarterly distributions to investors depending on asset type and on requirements of the co-venture partners when applicable, and subject to available funds.
“We look forward to working with lenders, special servicers and the brokerage community to help acquire the appropriate assets,” said Gordon Wiebe, CEO of CCI Corpfin Capital Inc. “This should start occurring over the next number of months as we exit out of the immediate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and see where select opportunities may exist as the effects of the pandemic become more apparent on various prospects.”
