Chicago, Oct. 7 – Varde Partners, with VMC Finance 2019-FL3 LLC as issuer, closed a commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation due June 15, 2037, its third, according to a press release and a pre-sale report.

The asset pool consists of 24 floating-rate mortgages secured by 47 properties and has a total unpaid principal balance of $627.5 million.

Specifically, the CRE CLO sold $348.3 million of class A floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 105 basis points; $24.3 million of class A-S floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 145 bps; $43.9 million of class B floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 170 bps; $45.5 million of class C floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 205 bps; $52.6 million of class C floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 275 bps; $23.5 million of class E floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 375 bps and $19.6 million of class F floating-rate notes at one-month Libor plus 475 bps.

The CLO also sold $69.8 million of preferred shares.

The assets include office, multifamily, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use properties across 12 states with an average principal balance of $26.1 million.

The Minneapolis-based investment firm has originated or acquired more than $2.5 billion in commercial real estate loans since 2014 with its origination activity primarily focused on floating-rate mortgage loans on light transitional, value-add and event-driven commercial and multifamily opportunities across the United States.
