Urban Capital Partners is launching the UCP Rescue Capital Fund I to invest in commercial real estate facing maturing CMBS debt between 2014-2017. The $2 million fund will target office and multifamily properties in Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets needing capital restructuring or asset repositioning to generate returns above 20%. The general partner will seek 5 deals annually and co-invest 5% of the fund's equity to capitalize on abundant distressed assets facing maturing commercial mortgage backed securities loans.
2. CMBS Market Opportunity
• The Fund’s focus and objective will be to capitalize on the looming CMBS
debt crisis by providing rescue capital to owners who made highly
leveraged purchases of real estate assets when market conditions were
favorable to do so, but now face debt maturities with stricter underwriting
standards and much lower loan-to-value financing options

I”) will be a 506 Regulation D compliant, Delaware limited partnership
formed to make investments primarily in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic
regions within the US. The GP will seek to generate a net leveraged IRR of
>20% and a net equity multiple of 2.0x - 2.2x over 7 years. The GP will
co-invest 5% of the Fund’s equity.
