TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX-V: TII) (“Terra Firma” or the âCompanyâ), a leading real estate finance company, today announced the closing of four new separate transactions for commitments totaling $36 million during the last 30 days. The transactions consisted of two loans located in the metropolitan statistical areas (âMSAâ) of Atlanta, Georgia, Tampa, Florida, and two land banking investments located in the MSAs of Jacksonville, Florida and Washington, D.C.
âGiven the strength and continued resilience of the U.S. housing market, our deal pipeline has ramped up significantly over the last few months. During this time, we have succeeded in closing four very attractive transactions, three of which were postponed due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on this increased activity, we very much expect to see the volume of new transactions and deployment accelerate through Q4 2020 and into next year,â said Glenn Watchorn, CEO of Terra Firma Capital Corporation. âWe continue to be very cautious and review all opportunities with increased scrutiny while maintaining a strong balance sheet with little to no leverage.â
