VIUM CAPITAL SURGES IN Q4 TO FINISH RECORD 2021

Columbus, OH - January 14, 2022:

‍

Seniors housing and healthcare lender VIUM Capital ("VIUM") closed 42 transactions totaling approximately $700 million in 2021, nearly half in the fourth calendar quarter. Debt proceeds financed 58 projects from Oregon to Florida, consisting of bridge and permanent loans. Founded in 2020, VIUM has quickly become one of the leading seniors housing and healthcare lenders in the country.

‍

"2021 was remarkable in many ways," shared partner Brendan Healy, based out of VIUM's Columbus, Ohio headquarters. "The number of bridge and FHA/HUD loan closings were fairly even, our healthcare versus seniors housing book was relatively balanced, and we closed more deals in the fourth quarter than any other quarter in our firm's young history."

‍

VIUM'sjoint-venture partner, a niche Midwestern-based bank, continues to enable VIUM to provide efficient and consistent private label bridge debt, which has helped fuel its permanent financing pipeline. "Our proprietary bank bridge funding solution has enabled us to quickly solve our clients' recapitalization and acquisition needs," stated partner Scott Blount, based out of VIUM's Austin, Texas office. "We can offer flexibility with leverage, recourse, pricing and terms, enabling us to deliver a tailored solution to our clients' specific goals."

‍

VIUM launched in April 2020 with just three employees. Now with over 20 employees and approaching

$1.5 billion in closed transactions, its platform, partnerships, and personnel are making a mark in the seniors housing and healthcare sector.

‍

"In addition to delivering our clients financing solutions, we're laser focused on building the best culture in the business," commented Chris Blanda, a partner out of Columbus. Partner Tony Ruberg, out of the firm's Boca Raton, Florida office continued. "Our team is comprised of a relatively even mix of seasoned financiers who worked together for many years at our former shop, and a crop of other talented professionals from a diverse array of backgrounds. It's a special blend and one of the keys to our success."

‍

In addition to its record financing volume, 2021 witnessed VIUM make key hires that included former NCAL Executive Director Scott Tittle, as well as closing on the acquisition of HUD/GNMA lender Armstrong Mortgage Company.
