Terra Firma plans to launch a third investor fund in the coming month. Three of the land deals, currently being warehoused, will represent that vehicle’s initial investments.
“In advance of raising our new Fund, Terra Firma is stepping up its origination efforts both with its existing clients as well as establishing new relationships with residential land developers,” said president and CEO Seth Greenspan.
TFCC Debt Fund I and TFCC Senior Fund II are fully invested and returning capital.
The firm focuses on land banking, land acquisition and development loans in 10 markets primarily in the Sun Belt. Transactions range from US$5m to US$30m.
Terra Firma also closed on two investments in the U.S. senior housing market.
