Portfolio Includes 734 multifamily apartments, 1,264 planned multifamily units, and 117 luxury condominium residences

NEW YORK, June 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Madison Realty Capital, a fully integrated real estate private equity firm focused on debt and equity investment strategies, today announced it has provided a $278.5 million construction loan for a portfolio of four assets located in Austin, Texas to Reger Holdings, LLC, a New York-based real estate investment and development company led by CEO Gordon Reger, a third-generation member of the Reger/Mader family who founded the company.

The portfolio is comprised of two mixed-use multifamily properties and 317 acres of entitled land with plans to develop 1,264 multifamily residential units, known as the EastVillage, located along the Parmer Lane tech corridor in northeast Austin and a luxury condominium in downtown Austin known as The Linden Residences. Reger Holdings contributed significant cash equity for the construction.

Josh Zegen, Managing Principal and Co-Founder of Madison Realty Capital, said, “This transaction highlights Madison Realty Capital’s solutions-oriented approach and unique ability to serve as a single source financing provider to a highly reputable borrower. Austin is a rapidly growing, vibrant city experiencing exceptional economic growth but faces high barriers to entry. The Parmer Lane tech corridor is home to some of the most prominent Austin employers and some of the nation’s most innovative companies, including Tesla, Apple, Samsung, Oracle, Dell, Facebook, and 3M. However, the city is facing an undersupply of the high-quality housing options that employees in the Parmer Lane tech corridor demand. We look forward to working with Reger, a best-in-class developer with a strong balance sheet, to complete future phases of development in Austin and continue to identify attractive opportunities for our investors and partners throughout Texas and the Southwest.”

“Madison Realty Capital’s senior financing for the EastVillage and the Linden marks an exciting milestone for both projects,” said Gordon Reger.  “We are pleased to work with a single capital source that has the flexibility to finance these diverse projects.”

The mixed-use residences are comprised of two development sites across 29 acres within the over 400-acre master site planned for the EastVillage. The first EastVillage development will offer 312 luxury apartment units across six garden-style apartment buildings with top-tier amenities, including a fitness center, courtyard, dog grooming station and swimming pool. The second EastVillage development will consist of an additional 422 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment units with state-of-the-art finishes, fitness center, game room, yoga studio, and 143,000 square feet of commercial space. Future phases of development for EastVillage involve 317 acres of land approved for 1,264 multifamily units, 240 hotel keys and over one million square feet of commercial space. The EastVillage is adjacent to Samsung’s Semiconductor chipmaking plant, one of Austin’s largest employers, which recently announced plans to expand with a $17 billion chipmaking facility.

Located at 313 West 17^th Street in downtown Austin near the State Capital and the University of Texas at Austin, The Linden Residences is a 28-story luxury condominium project that will offer 117 one- to three-bedroom units, 5,196 square feet of ground floor retail and 251 parking spaces. The amenity rich units have been substantially sold to date.

Newmark Executive Managing Director David Douvadjian, Senior Managing Director, Brian Butler, and Director, David Douvadjian, Jr., served as advisors to Madison Realty Capital in the deal.

Family-owned Bacardi adds ANGEL’S ENVY Whiskey to super-premium portfolio in Europe

ANGEL’S ENVY™ KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY FINISHED IN PORT WINE BARRELS LAUNCHES IN BERLIN, PARIS AND ROME

Family-owned Bacardi adds ANGEL’S ENVY Whiskey to super-premium portfolio in Europe

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ANGEL’S ENVY™ Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels, the super-premium whiskey owned by Bacardi, launched in select bars in Paris, Berlin and Rome on June 3^rd. After launching in London in February 2020, the expansion of ANGEL’S ENVY to cities across the region reflects the growing demand for super-premium spirits and the commitment of Bacardi to growing this sector.

ANGEL’S ENVY, which has been awarded and acclaimed by organizations and publications across the US, was co-founded by the late Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson and his son Wes Henderson, and two generations of Hendersons continue to expand Lincoln’s legacy today. The Louisville-based, family-run distiller is recognised in its home country for being one of the first to use secondary finishing in bourbon, a method traditionally reserved for Scotch, to add greater depth and complexity to the whiskey. Though a radical concept when it was first founded in 2010, ANGEL’S ENVY has led and remained at the forefront of secondary finishing in bourbon, which has grown to become common practice in the industry over the last decade. Acquired by Bacardi Limited in 2015, ANGEL’S ENVY perfectly complements other super-premium brands in the Bacardi portfolio including GREY GOOSE vodka and PATRÓN tequila.

Francis Debeuckelaere, Regional President for Bacardi Europe, Australia & New Zealand, said: “With the premiumisation trend in Europe showing no signs of slowing down, ANGEL’S ENVY is an incredible fit for our portfolio. People continue to show their appreciation for exceptional quality and craftsmanship, which is why they will love ANGEL’S ENVY. As our on-trade partners open their doors for the first time across Europe, we can now offer a lucky few the most exciting brand in the American whiskey category. It is a very special moment for Bacardi and for ANGEL’S ENVY.”

Revered by bartenders and whiskey lovers, ANGEL’S ENVY Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels is the core expression, handcrafted in Louisville, Kentucky and the first to launch in Europe. Tasted at every step to ensure incredible quality, the 43.3% ABV bourbon is blended in small batches of eight to twelve barrels at a time and then aged for up to six years, before being finished in hand selected 60-gallon ruby port wine casks made from French oak and imported directly from Portugal. The port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste, and results in notes of Madeira, ripe fruits, and maple syrup.

ANGEL’S ENVY Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Wes Henderson comments, “When creating ANGEL’S ENVY, my father and I were deeply inspired by the world of Scotch and its rich history of secondary finishing. As we tasted our bourbon, it became clear just how much the process enhances the whiskey with a subtle sweetness and complex flavours. By applying this familiar technique to our bourbon, we’ve been able to create a whiskey that has already gained huge popularity in our home country. We feel privileged that as bars in Europe get back on their feet, a select few will be able to offer their customers their first ever taste of ANGEL’S ENVY Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels.”

Adhering to the brand motto that whiskey is ‘not perfect until it’s finished,’ ANGEL’S ENVY, which is based in its own 8,000 square metre distillery in downtown Louisville, has now released seven expressions in the USA. Named after the well-known ‘Angel’s Share’ expression of the 5% of spirit lost in ageing, Lincoln famously joked that with this whiskey, he’d finally gotten a better deal than the angels.

Always drink responsibly.
