NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2016) - Prospect Capital Corporation (
Prospect structures its real estate property investments as investments of debt and equity using private real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Prospect in the past three years has in the aggregate invested $417.3 million in 18 separate transactions across 54 properties that include 39 multifamily residential apartment properties (aggregating approximately 14,000 multifamily units), 12 self-storage properties, and three single tenant net lease facilities, totaling approximately 14.8 million rentable square feet.
"The Vista realization adds to the strong performance of our multi-family-focused real estate portfolio, which has delivered continued net operating income growth for solid yields as well as capital gains appreciation potential," said Ted Fowler, Managing Director of Prospect Capital Management LP. "We continue to benefit from strong demographic trends driving high occupancies and rent growth in the apartment sector. We look forward to selectively exiting other properties in our portfolio at the appropriate time, enhanced by the robust availability of primary and supplemental financing for these assets."
