Leon Capital Group Closes Approximately $19 Million in Structured Equity Investments

Investments to Finance 156-unit Class A Multifamily Community and 195-unit Student Housing Development in Nashua and Binghamton

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leon Multifamily and Leon Financial, both subsidiaries of Leon Capital Group (“Leon” or “the Company”), a diversified holding company for a privately-owned group of entities, today announced the closing of two structured equity investments totaling approximately $19 million. The investments will finance The Flats on High Street, a Class A multifamily community in Nashua, New Hampshire, and The Marshall Binghamton, a purpose-built student housing development serving SUNY Binghamton in New York. As part of the Company’s growing real estate credit platform, Leon Multifamily and Leon Financial have closed three credit transactions in the past 90 days across geographies and property types.

The Flats on High Street is a 156-unit multifamily property in downtown Nashua, New Hampshire, approximately 45 minutes from Boston. Leon’s preferred equity investment was provided to Lansing Melbourne Group, a development firm with more than 20 years of experience and over $1 billion in completed and active projects. The Marshall Binghamton is a 195-unit, 516-bed student housing development located immediately adjacent to SUNY Binghamton's campus. Currently under construction and on track for a May 2027 delivery, The Marshall is being developed by Aptitude Development, a nationally recognized firm with more than 4,500 beds delivered and over $1 billion in total capitalization.

“These investments underscore the expansion and continued execution of Leon’s real estate credit platform, and we are energized by the opportunity to invest in well-located, well-sponsored assets in high-demand, durable markets,” said Blake Schroeder, President of Leon Multifamily. “Multifamily remains one of the most compelling asset classes in real estate, driven by a persistent housing shortage and growing renter demand. We see strong opportunity ahead to continue executing our differentiated credit strategy, supported by the resources and expertise of Leon Capital Group.”

“At Leon Financial, we are focused on purpose-built investments that generate meaningful value for our partners and the communities in which we operate,” said Fernando Mendez, Managing Director at Leon Financial. “Student housing has emerged as one of the most resilient and supply-constrained sectors of real estate, as enrollment demand at certain universities continues to outpace the availability of well-located, quality housing. This investment sits at the intersection of those dynamics and is a testament to the strong momentum of Leon’s real estate credit platform.”
