First Closing of Wolff Credit Partners, L.P.

SCOTTSDALE, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Wolff Company announced the first closing of its latest investment vehicle, Wolff Credit Partners, L.P. (“WCP”).

In its first closing, investors committed approximately $163 million to WCP. The Wolff Company expects the fund to reach approximately $200 million in total commitments.

“This is a very unique time in the real estate cycle.  Multifamily development activity is steadily increasing but senior lending levels have become much more conservative.

Wolff, CEO of The Wolff Company.

Closing of a Preferred Equity Investment to Fund Class A Multifamily Development in Scottsdale, Arizona

SCOTTSDALE, February 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Wolff Company announces the closing of a preferred equity investment in an entity that is developing the second of three phases that, upon completion, will constitute a Class A, luxury multifamily development known as Optima Sonoran Village, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2016, Phase II will comprise a total of three buildings, housing 400 condo-quality luxury rental units, an estimated 5,400 square feet of commercial space, and resort style amenities, including a fitness center, indoor basketball and racquetball courts, lounge and game room, two outdoor pools and heated spas, landscaped open spaces, green roofs and streetscape improvements.

The project is co-sponsored by Optima, Inc. (“Optima”) and DeBartolo Real Estate Investments, LLC (“DBREI”), who have a history of partnering together on real estate development projects.
