Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. ("INCREF") Announces Three Loan Originations Totaling $231.5 Million

DALLAS, Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. ("INCREF"), a non-listed, perpetual life real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on private credit secured by real estate, announced today that it has closed three loan transactions in Q4 2023, totaling $231.5 million to industrial and multifamily properties located in well-positioned submarkets. These transactions increase INCREF's aggregate loan originations to approximately $648.9 million. 

The three loan originations demonstrate Invesco Real Estate's primary focus on building a core-plus credit portfolio allocated towards its "highest conviction ideas" across the commercial real estate universe. 

"We are pleased to scale the portfolio with newly originated loans that fit within our portfolio composition secured by assets in our targeted sectors at reduced valuations in line with today's market environment," said Bert Crouch, Chief Executive Officer for INCREF. "These new investments also evidence our ability to take full advantage of the current market's financing gap and elevated interest rate environment."

"We are deeply appreciative of our longstanding borrower relationships, with whom we are actively scaling the portfolio," said Charlie Rose, President for INCREF. "Our focus on sponsor-driven and relationship-based lending continues to guide our approach to this business. These three loans are representative of a much broader opportunity set that we are identifying in this current market environment." 

INCREF originated one loan totaling $93.0 million within the industrial sector and two loans totaling $138.5 million within the multifamily sector.
