VIUM Completes Record Year in 2025

Seniors housing and healthcare lender VIUM Capital (“VIUM”) delivered another record-setting year in fiscal 2025, closing 96 transactions totaling over $2 billion in par value, representing the greatest number of financings closed in the firm’s history.

‍

Transaction activity was diversified across both permanent and bridge financing strategies. Sixty-one transactions were HUD LEAN financings totaling $948.2 million, representing the firm’s highest annual HUD production to date and nearly triple prior-year volume. Thirty-five transactions were bridge loans totaling $1.1 billion. Bridge loans were originated by VIUM Capital through its joint venture partnership with a niche Midwestern-based bank and included both direct bank balance sheet executions and loans originated through VIUM’s healthcare debt fund.

‍

For the federal government’s fiscal year 2025, VIUM finished as a top HUD LEAN lender nationally, ranking second in number of loans closed and third in total par volume, reinforcing the firm’s position as one of the most active and consistent healthcare lenders in the country.

‍

“Fiscal 2025 was a defining year for VIUM,” said Steve Kennedy, Co-Founder and Executive Managing Director. “The scale of our execution, particularly across HUD LEAN and bridge lending, validates our long-term strategy and the depth of talent across our platform. We are proud of the trust our clients and partners continue to place in us.”

‍

VIUM’s HUD mortgage servicing platform continued its rapid expansion, with the firm now servicing nearly $2 billion across 145 HUD loans, positioning the company with strong recurring revenue and meaningful momentum heading into fiscal 2026.

‍

In addition to production milestones, VIUM received several notable recognitions during the year, including being named one of Central Ohio’s Fast 50 fastest-growing companies, ranking among the top three largest commercial real estate lenders in Central Ohio, and being named to the Inc 5000 annual list of the fastest growing private companies in the United States. 

‍

2025 also marked the most charitable year in the firm’s history. During the year, VIUM and its partners contributed and helped raise more than $500,000 in support of charitable organizations, including the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, Flatwater Foundation, and Cristo Rey Columbus High School, among others. These efforts reflect VIUM’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities in which it operates and aligning the firm’s growth with meaningful social impact.

‍

“We are entering 2026 with more scale, more experience, and a deeper bench than ever before,” said Kass Matt, Co-Founder and Executive Managing Director. “Our focus remains on disciplined growth, delivering certainty of execution for our clients, and continuing to invest in our people and platform.”
