Press Release
Goldman Sachs’ Vintage Funds today announced closing on a $229 million preferred investment in a portfolio of Colony Credit Real Estate (“CLNC”) investments from their second dedicated real estate fund, Vintage Real Estate Partners II.
The initial $200 million investment was made in a portfolio of five underlying CLNC investment interests managed by affiliates of CLNC’s manager: one wholly-owned triple-net industrial distribution investment leased to a national grocery chain and four co-investments.
“Goldman Sachs’ Vintage Funds provided strategic capital and expertise that allow us to retain flexibility and position these assets for future growth,” said Andrew Witt, Chief Operating Officer of CLNC. “The Goldman Sachs team is a value-added partner that shares our commitment to maximizing value on behalf of our shareholders and other constituents.”
The preferred financing investment doesn’t impact the manager’s discretion with respect to the continuing investment and portfolio management of the investments. CLNC will also have the ability to draw down up to $29 million in additional commitments for future allocation to the portfolio.
“The Vintage program has a long-standing relationship with Colony, and we were excited to work together on this transaction,” said Sean Brenan, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs. “We are gratified to participate in this opportunity, which allows us to provide a timely, efficient and creative solution to our investment partner.”
