Investment in co-living

GCP Asset Backed, which invests in asset backed loans, is pleased to announce the repayment of two of its loans invested in co-living properties, representing a repayment of £49m. The Company benefitted from a repayment fee of c.£1m.

The Company has immediately recommitted £53m, to the co-living borrower as part of a wider facility of up to £140m on comparable terms. The remaining commitments are being provided by Deutsche Bank AG, marking the Company's first group lending transaction. The facility is for a term of up to 4 years and the increased commitment will enable the borrower to build out its current pipeline of projects.
