Madison Realty Capital Originates Two Loans Totaling $77 Million to The True Life Companies for San Francisco Bay Area Projects


NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Realty Capital, a vertically integrated real estate private equity firm focused on debt and equity investment strategies, today announced that it has originated two loans totaling $77 million to The True Life Companies (TTLC). Madison Realty Capital first originated a $45 million loan for the acquisition and construction of 50 townhomes and 8,000 square feet of retail space located at 166-176 E. Fremont Avenue in Sunnyvale, California. Additionally, the firm originated a $32 million loan to TTLC and 621 Capital for the development of 55 townhomes located at 27177 Mission Boulevard in Hayward, California.

Josh Zegen, Managing Principal and Co-Founder of Madison Realty Capital, said, “Demand for high-quality single-family homes continues to steadily increase as major employers such as Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Cisco, Intel, and Uber expand in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. However, new housing is limited as a result of lengthy entitlement processes and restrictions on new development. We are pleased to further our presence in the Bay Area to originate flexible financing solutions for TTLC, an experienced residential developer, who successfully navigated complex entitlement processes to deliver competitively priced, attractive townhomes in high barrier to entry markets.”

The Sunnyvale development will offer a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom units across four buildings and each home will include a two-car tandem garage and private deck. The project will also include a communal park in addition to dining and seating areas. Subject to Sunnyvale’s Below Market Rate Housing Requirements, 12.5% of townhomes will be sold at affordable prices. The property is the first phase of a two-phase project that will consist of 85 residential townhomes in total once complete. TTLC is developing the Sunnyvale townhomes in partnership with Hillwood Investment Properties.

The Hayward townhomes will be comprised of 10 buildings along Mission Boulevard. The property will consist of a unit mix of 46 three-bedroom homes and nine units with combined commercial and residential space. Located close to multiple transit options including the Bay Area Rapid Transportation Terminal, the property also includes 134 parking spaces. Ten percent of the townhomes will meet Hayward’s Below Market Rate Housing requirements.

“We very much value our ongoing relationship with Madison Realty Capital,” added Scott Menard, Executive Vice President of The True Life Companies. “Our recent experience working with Madison on the Sunnyvale and Hayward Moreau transactions exceeded our expectations and their entire team has always been professional and excellent to work with. As our company continues to grow quickly, we know Madison can meet our growing needs and we look forward to our continued relationship with Madison on our future deals.”

Gary Mozer, Miles Musalman, and Evan Kinne at George Smith Partners brokered the transaction.
