DRC in UK deal double 
Real estate debt fund DRC Capital has financed a West London property and former-IBRC portfolio purchase from its European Real Estate Debt Fund II.

DRC Capital has completed two deals in the UK, for Draco Property and for a joint venture between Oaktree Capital Management and Patrizia Immobilien, Real Estate Capital can reveal.

The real estate debt fund manager, run by managing partner Dale Lattanzio and partners Rob Clayton and Cyrus Korat, is deploying capital from its high-yielding £487m European Real Estate Debt Fund II which reached a final close in May last year and issues whole and mezzanine loans.

European Real Estate Debt Fund II advised by DRC Capital LLP has provided a £24m mezzanine debt facility to support the acquisition of the Citrus portfolio by a joint venture between funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Patrizia Immobilien AG. The portfolio comprised 24 properties across the UK and was sold by Carisbrooke and Revcap.
