- $190 million all-stock acquisition of 1818 Park, a Class-A mixed-use property in downtown Hollywood, Florida, marks strategic diversification into income-producing real estate
- GCF Development principals become long-term equity partners in FAVO through the transaction, bringing seasoned real estate expertise to the platform
- Stabilized asset with high occupancy and long-term leases strengthens balance sheet and expands collateral base for enhanced private credit operations
The convergence of private credit and real estate investment has become a defining strategy for alternative finance companies seeking capital efficiency and risk management. Traditional lending models often rely on unsecured positions or narrow collateral pools, creating constraints on funding capacity and competitive positioning.
FAVO Capital (OTC: FAVO) is adopting a dual-purpose approach: combining diversified, cash-flowing real estate with its established private credit platform. This strategy strengthens the balance sheet, expands lending capacity, and creates sustainable advantages not typically available to pure-play lenders.
Strategic Asset Acquisition Strengthens Capital Structure
The acquisition of 1818 Park, a Class-A mixed-use property, brings stabilized cash flows from high-occupancy residential, office, and retail components secured under long-term leases.
By structuring the deal as an all-stock transaction, FAVO added income-generating assets without reducing cash reserves earmarked for lending operations. CFO Vaughan Korte noted:
“Adding a stabilized, income-producing asset of this caliber directly supports the growth of our private credit operations by enhancing the quality of the collateral we can leverage in financing negotiations.”
Partnership with GCF Development Adds Operational Expertise
The transaction also brings GCF Development principals in as long-term equity partners, aligning incentives and ensuring seasoned oversight at the property level. This partnership provides continuity in management while supporting FAVO’s diversification strategy.
GCF Development CEO Chip Abele commented:
“We believe in the long-term value of combining real estate and private credit under one integrated platform.”
Enhanced Balance Sheet Expands Lending Capacity
A key benefit of the acquisition is FAVO’s ability to access larger and more competitively priced financing lines, which increases lending capacity to small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”).
President Shaun Quin emphasized:
“With a stronger asset position, we can secure larger, more competitive financing lines, expand our lending capacity, and deliver greater value to the SMBs and shareholders we serve.”
Integrated Platform Creates Competitive Advantages
Chief Strategy Officer Glen Steward placed the transaction in the context of FAVO’s broader vision:
“By combining the predictable cash flows of high-quality real estate with the dynamic growth of our private credit business, we are creating a balanced portfolio designed to perform across market cycles.”
1818 Park’s location in downtown Hollywood’s Young Circle further positions FAVO within one of South Florida’s most active commercial hubs, supported by strong transportation access, walkability, and sustained tenant demand.
This acquisition represents a significant step in FAVO’s strategy to build a diversified platform that delivers consistent value across economic cycles.
