VIUM CAPITAL COMPLETES RECORD 2024

Seniors housing and healthcare lender VIUM Capital (“VIUM”) notched its highest revenue producing year in the firm’s young history, closing 56 transactions totaling nearly $900 million in par in 2024. Financing structures consisted of bridge and permanent debt (both taxable and tax-exempt) that funded 82 separate properties in more than a dozen states from coast to coast. 37 of the financings were HUD/GNMA loans through HUD’s 232/223(f) program, totaling over $450 million of par. VIUM finished the 2024 government fiscal year as the #2 ranked HUD healthcare lender in the country in both total volume and number of transactions closed.

"What an amazing and impactful 2024 for our company, clients, and partners,” shared Senior Managing Director Brendan Healy. “This year we proved out our underlying corporate thesis of converting directly originated bridge loans into permanent HUD loans. Thanks to the leadership of our Chief Underwriter Alison Lemle and our incredibly talented team, we are on solid footing to continue competing atop the HUD healthcare leaderboard for the foreseeable future.”

2024 also witnessed VIUM’s HUD/GNMA servicing book surpassing $1 billion, securing multiple HUD Corporate Credit Review approvals for clients, and the firm completing a $630 million securitization of its healthcare bridge loans, its second securitization in as many years. VIUM’s nearly $3 billion healthcare bridge book is performing solidly, with an average LTV of 66% and global debt service coverage ratio averaging well-above performance covenant levels.

“We are executing at a very high level and will continue our investment in our growing team and financing platform in 2025,” commented Senior Managing Director Scott Blount, the firm’s leading revenue producer in 2024. “Most importantly, however, 2024 will be defined by the way in which we rallied around each other, including several in our VIUM family battling cancer. The support we offer each other is extremely rare and demonstrates that we have built something special. This type of commitment will be the foundation for a successful 2025.”
