SPG Partners, a New York-based private equity firm, will invest in Continental Environmental Redevelopment Financial (CERF), a lender to brownfield property development projects.
The size of the investment was undisclosed, but a press release noted that the financing would allow CERF to “originate in excess of $500 million in loans”. The deal is SPG’s third since launching last year.
CERF lends to groups that are engaged in the acquisition , remediation, improvement, rehabilitation and development of property that has been damaged by the potential presence of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants.
SPG operating partner Joy Schaefer will become non-executive chairman of the board of CERF.
SPG Partners is a collaboration between Ian Snow, a former key Ripplewood Holdings managing director, Ogden Phipps, of the Phipps family group, and Guggenheim Partners, a diversified financial services company. The firm is currently seeking to raise as much as $500 million for a debut fund.
