Caliber will hold Groundbreaking for The Commons of Mesa

Caliber Co.

Caliber (CaliberCos Inc.), a vertically-integrated alternative asset manager and fund sponsor, just announced the groundbreaking for The Commons of Mesa, a 144-unit apartment community located in downtown Mesa will be held on February 23, 2022, at 10 am. The Commons of Mesa will contain 48 one-bedroom units and 96 two-bedroom units. It will be comprised of twelve buildings each with 12 units surrounding a common courtyard. It is located at 140 W. 2 nd Avenue Mesa, AZ 85201 (between S. Robson and South MacDonald). The development sits on a 2.54-acre lot that is walking distance to Mesa’s downtown district. In 2017, Caliber began acquiring a series of buildings in downtown Mesa, and The Commons of Mesa is the latest addition to the portfolio. “We have a lot of activity going on with our Mesa projects,” says John Hartman, Chief Investment Officer of Caliber. “We are under construction at 114 W. Main Street for a co-working space. Also, we have signed with a distillery company for 155 W. Main Street and we are finalizing leases with a malthouse, a bar arcade and a multi-offering food hall which will have a market hall, restaurants, and bars.” In five other buildings that Caliber owns in downtown Mesa, the company is in late discussions with a number of other retail and restaurant tenants. Caliber is redeveloping 29 West Main Street as a mixed-use property with 10,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor and 90 apartments on the five floors above. Caliber is in the entitlement process for these apartments now with its partner Bob Worsley of Zennihome. “Given the national conversation about the lack of attainable housing, Caliber’s apartments at The Commons of Mesa and at 29 West Main Street, add 234 new apartments to Mesa and are hitting directly at the need that local governments across the country are trying to address,” continues Hartman. Caliber is leading the effort to redevelop downtown Mesa. “We are pleased that Mayor John Giles, City of Mesa, is scheduled to participate in this groundbreaking event,” adds Hartman. By national standards, Mesa is the 34 th largest city in the US and one of the fastest growing cities. Its downtown area in particular, where The Commons of Mesa is located, has experienced a renaissance in the past few years with the introduction of a light rail service, redevelopment of its historic core, and the new Arizona State University Campus at Mesa City Center which will host more than a thousand students, faculty and staff and is set to open in spring 2022. Mesa currently has an annual growth rate of 2% and has seen its population increase by 22.5% since the 2010 census. Future job growth in Mesa over the next 10 years is projected to be 47%, far outpacing the national average. “Now that The Commons of Mesa is under construction, we will start pre-leasing as soon we are far enough along,” concludes Hartman. The total development cost for The Commons of Mesa is $42M. Caliber is raising equity for this project in the amount of $9M. Caliber is co-developing this project with Cardinal Capital Management, a vertically integrated real estate development company that specializes in multi-family and workforce housing. Another strategic partner for The Commons of Mesa is Waltz Construction. ABOUT CALIBER Caliber – the Wealth Development Company – is a middle-market alternative asset manager and fund sponsor with approximately $2 billion in assets under management and development. The Company sponsors private funds and private syndications. It conducts substantially all business through CaliberCos, Inc., a vertically integrated asset manager delivering services which include capital formation and management, real estate development, construction management, acquisitions and sales. Caliber delivers a full suite of alternative investments to a $4 trillion market that includes high net worth, accredited and qualified investors, as well as family offices and smaller institutions. This strategy allows the Company to opportunistically compete in an evolving middle-market arena for alternative investments.

PCMA Private Continues Nationwide Expansion with the Addition of Texas to our Lending Footprint

PCMA

PCMA, the pioneer and leading voice in Non-Bank Private Client Lending, announces the expansion of our High Net Worth Lending services to the state of Texas - Company NMLS ID: 237710. The expansion of Private Client Lending into Texas highlights the extraordinary growth of PCMA and the continued growth in the Texas luxury housing market. The number of Texas estates that sold for $1 million or higher from November 2020 to October 2021 increased 89.6% compared to the previous reporting period to 11,980 sales, according to the 2021 Texas Luxury Home Sales Report. The annual report examining housing statistics for homes that sold for $1 million or higher across the state showed total sales dollar volume reached $19.9 billion, a 93.3% increase from the previous year. While the number of luxury home sales accounted for less than 3% of all homes sold in Texas, the dollar amount represented 13% of all residential sales dollar volume across the state. “Everything is bigger in Texas, including the sales of luxury homes. With lower tax rates and more housing options it is easy to see why luxury home sales in Texas have increased by over 13% in the past year,” said John R. Lynch, CEO and Founder of PCMA. “Last year over 90% of the homes sold for a million or more were sold in Austin, Dallas and Houston totaling over $20 billion dollars in sales. With statistics like that, it is undeniable the migration to Texas is not a fallacy” PCMA’s expansion into the Texas market comes on the heels of both internal and external growth of the company. PCMA continues to experience an unprecedented growth of high-net-worth originations at a record pace as we enter 2022 even in the face of rising interest rates. In recent months PCMA has added to its already impressive C suite bench, and is continuing to expand its direct and indirect origination channels. “Luxury home sales in Texas are a key component of the real estate markets health. Only 3% of home sales were categorized as luxury, but that 3% represented 13% of all residential sales dollar volume,” said Lynch. “Our entrance into Texas with the full offering of our product suite will help High Net Worth households unlock liquidity, acquire additional assets, and lock in long term debt in a manner not available in traditional private banking relationships.” About PCMA PCMA is a vertically integrated Asset Origination and Convexity Management firm that specializes in Structured, Super Prime, Non-Agency, Private Client Credit. With its captive origination unit, PCMA has become the leading Non-Bank Private Client Lender in the U.S. What began as a linear venture has morphed into a vertical organization and industry leading incubator of ideas pushing the boundaries of innovation in high-capacity financial services.

Staff augmentation throughout the mortgage life cycle will be an important focus going forward, including pre- and post-close quality control, compliance, file review in anticipation of regulatory exams, default servicing, and servicing portfolio retention. TMS actively recruits and manages professionals with recent experience in the following roles: residential processor, frontline underwriter, and closer; commercial real estate (CRE) underwriter; commercial and industrial (C&I) loan underwriter; post-close quality control specialist; commercial and residential flood specialist; and loss mitigation specialist.

Rhove and Arrived Leverage Dalmore Group’s Regulation A+ Expertise to bring Fractionalized Investment to an Untapped Market

Dalmore Group

For more than 17 years, Dalmore Group has been instrumental in helping companies raise capital online at scale through Regulation A+, CF and D, and has become the go-to Broker-Dealer for issuers looking for experience, insight and efficiency. Dalmore has shepherded several big name Regulation A+ Fractional Share “Series” platform issuers to market and has been particularly adept at driving successful factionalized ownership opportunities in the ever-changing real estate market. Two prominent Dalmore clients, Rhove and Arrived Homes, share how a Regulation A+ Series offering can bring unique and sought-after opportunities to an investor base, and why fractionalized investment is the most important step in providing access to previously unattainable assets within a broader market. “We chose to partner with Dalmore Group because they are one of the market leaders when it comes to partnering with innovative tech companies,” said Calvin Cooper, co-founder and CEO at Rhove. “Owning real estate is getting further out of reach and there is an urgent need to provide more ways for people to invest in and own the places we live, work and play.” Ryan Frazier, co-founder and CEO of Arrived Homes echoes that statement. “We are seeing investment dollars shift between different verticals in real estate and fractional ownership empowers investors to diversify across many properties and cities. Certain asset classes like office buildings are seeing uncertainty as the remote work culture gains momentum, while the residential asset class, especially single-family homes, has seen lots of interest from both homeowners and investors alike. Our customers really care about trust and security when making their investments and we chose Dalmore as our broker dealer partner for their experience and innovation supporting Regulation A+ issuers.” In this use case, the Regulation A+ Series Issuer does not sell shares of its business. Rather, the issuer has been qualified to raise up to $75m/year to syndicate physical and digital assets, including real estate deals. The issuers launch apps with cutting edge user experience and help create communities of investors who are able to build their own portfolios of things they’ve always dreamed about – but could not imagine owning. Thanks to both Rhove and Arrived, participating in owning the places around us has never been more attainable. With Arrived, investors can build a portfolio of world-class assets without the typical responsibilities of owning property. This is a compelling proposition for any potential investor whether they have been managing a portfolio for a while or are new to the process. Rhove’s app makes it possible for anyone with a smartphone and a few dollars to invest in the places they love and gives them an opportunity to truly shape the communities they live, work and play in. “Ownership bestows more than financial benefit. It cultivates our sense of citizenship and social responsibility. Democracy is strongest when everyone has ownership. Making land ownership accessible to every member of society by dividing it into small quantities is something that the founding fathers of America wrote about, including our 2nd President and Constitutional Framer, John Adams. Fractional real estate ownership is hundreds of years in the making. The time is now,” said Cooper. One of the benefits of Regulation A+ securities is that there is no minimum holding period of the shares, meaning you are free to sell your shares once the primary offering is complete (unlike other Regulation D offerings, which have a one year lock up). This path to liquidity, in bite size share increments, has led to a significant increase of investor/shareholders and a rapidly expanding secondary marketplace for these private securities. And, according to Frazier, this market will continue to evolve. “We are seeing the retail investing market continue to expand beyond the traditional US equity and debt asset classes. Retail investors are flocking to alternative assets such as crypto, real estate, art and collectibles thanks to a new wave of companies that are removing the barriers that have existed in the past. We anticipate that in 5 years the retail investing market will look vastly different than it does today.” Having onboarded over 175 Regulation A+ clients since 2019, Dalmore has become the go-to broker dealer for Regulation A+ issuers looking for experience, insight and added value. Dalmore offers flexible fee arrangements for Regulation A+ activity. Learn more about Dalmore Group’s Regulation A+ services at Dalmorefg.com. ABOUT DALMORE Dalmore Group specializes in helping companies raise capital online at scale through Regulations A+, CF and D, and has onboarded over 175 Regulation A+ issuers since 2019.

ECI Development, Marriott Break Ground on New 202-Key Oceanfront Hotel & Residences in Ambergris Caye, Belize

ECI Development

ECI Development today announced that it broke ground on a new Marriott branded hotel and residences on the island. Designed for travelers seeking a relaxed Caribbean lifestyle, the Belize Marriott Ambergris Caye Resort and Residences will be built on Ambergris Caye, Belize’s largest island known for its world-class scuba diving, fishing, water sports and white sandy beaches. “Now that we’ve seen an uptick in travel, we’re excited to begin building the new Marriott branded hotel and residences ECI Development is bringing to Ambergris Caye, one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful island destinations with famed access to the Belize Barrier Reef and dive sites,” said Michael K. Cobb, Chairman and CEO of ECI Development. “ECI has been creating inspired lifestyles for adventurous souls across Latin America for more than two decades, but we are particularly focused on this project and the opportunity to deliver a top-quality hotel and residence option from a treasured global brand.” The hotel, along with the Marriott Hotels-branded residential component, saw the first shovels of dirt turned January 14. The project will fuse old-world British charm and modern amenities while keeping an eye towards the heritage and history of Belize. ECI plans as many as 70 privately-owned branded residences as a part of the 202-key oceanfront resort. “We are excited to welcome the first Marriott Hotel to the beautiful shores of Belize,” said Laurent de Kousemaeker, Chief Development Officer, Caribbean & Latin America, Marriott International. “The Belize Marriott Resort and Residences of Ambergris Caye will be a stand out and attract travelers from around the world. As we continue to grow in Latin America, what a stunning location along this beautiful stretch of beach on Ambergris Caye to plant the Marriott Hotels brand flag.” "We welcome the Belize Marriott Residences of Ambergris Caye to the increasing number of new and modern brand name hotels in Belize. We are confident that the Belize Marriott Residences will be a partner in our sustainable brand of hospitality and sustainable tourism development. It is in partial fulfillment of our Plan Belize agenda, and testament to our promise that Belize is Open for Business," said Prime Minister of Belize, Honorable John Briceño. "I have every confidence that the Marriott will be a tremendous success in Belize." “Now available to this incredibly diverse and expansive market, Belize’s rich culture and unique attractions will be marketed to a discerning audience seeking both the thrill of a new place and the comforts of the familiar,” said Evan Tillett, Director of Tourism at the Belize Tourism Board (BTB). “Employees will also benefit through training and developing skill sets that will allow them to undertake a greater variety of work. There is always room for improvement and learning, and with specific goals and requirements under a brand, their abilities and skills will flourish.” Guests will have access to first-class restaurants, a rooftop lounge, conference and event space, a spa, fitness center and retail outlets. Amenities will also include a dive shop to cater to the island’s many visitors who come to explore the Belize Barrier Reef – the largest reef system in the northern hemisphere and a UNESCO World Heritage designated site. “As Belize continues to emerge as a top tourist and business destination for world travelers, the Belize Marriott Ambergris Caye Resort and Residences will contribute to the positive evolution of one of the jewels of Central America,” said Brian J. King, President, Caribbean & Latin America, Marriott International. “All of the best things seasoned travelers have come to expect from Marriott destinations around the globe will be brought to serve our guests on Ambergris Caye. That’s why we’re very excited to welcome this new hotel into Marriott International’s family of resorts as well as our Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program that boasts more than 160 million members worldwide.” With tourism accounting for 33.2% of Belize’s GDP, and approximately 40,000 jobs – or 30.1% of total employment, the positive economic impact of tourism from a trusted hotel brand like Marriott extends well-beyond the jobs created at the property. “The construction of the Belize Marriott Ambergris Caye Resort and Residences is a welcome respite to the Belize tourism industry after the devastation the pandemic has wrought worldwide. An anticipated 100+ jobs will be required during construction, and upon completion, close to 300 full-time employees will be needed for the oceanfront hotel. What’s more, the economic benefits will reach far beyond the hotel property as owners and guests participate in water sports like diving and snorkeling, explore Mayan ruins and shop for art, woodcrafts, and other souvenirs,” said Briceño. “From the farmers deep in the western villages providing fresh produce, to souvenir artists across the country, to the families who receive remittances from direct tourism service providers, the financial benefit to Belizeans will be immeasurable.” ECI Co-Founder and Chairman of Caye International Bank, Joel Nagel built upon Prime Minister Briceño’s comments stating that the hotel planned to work with local farmers, manufacturers, and craftsmen to supply much of the initial construction and ongoing supply needs for the hotel. “Our company has been a solid corporate citizen in San Pedro for nearly 30 years. We constantly strive to engage the local community in business, philanthropy, and all types of community service and engagement, including the creation and founding of the San Pedro Rotary Club,” said Nagel. “We believe that all ships rise with the high tide and we want the Marriott hotel to be another important engine for economic development and growth for San Pedro and for all of Belize.” In addition to the many economic benefits this project will bring, corporate social responsibility has been a priority for ECI from its founding. The company works tirelessly to ensure that the communities surrounding each project receive direct support through a variety of initiatives and partnerships. Since 2021, ECI has been directly involved with ACES Wildlife Rescue on Ambergris Caye, championing the wildlife organization’s efforts in the conservation and protection of Belize’s native wildlife and their habitats. Education Directors and Wildlife Rehabilitators Chris Summers and Christina Manzi can often be found rescuing animals, even the tamanuas, as well as rehabilitating mangroves along the coastline. “In 2021, the mangrove reforestation along stretches of beach and lagoon waters became a priority, as mangroves are critical for marine wildlife. That’s why ECI Development and Marriott International will continue full support of these critical habitat efforts long into the future,” said Ricardo Calo, Area Vice President, Marriott International, who will directly oversee the new hotel and residences. ***Hotel renderings and photos of the groundbreaking event available upon request.*** # # # About ECI Development ECI Development is a real estate developer working in Central and Latin America creating inspired lifestyles for adventurous souls.

PCMA Announces Continued Nationwide Expansion with the Addition of Connecticut to our Lending Footprint

PCMA

PCMA, the pioneer and leading voice in Non-Bank Private Client Lending, announces the expansion of our Private Client services to the state of Connecticut - Company NMLS ID: 237710. The expansion of Private Client Lending into Connecticut highlights the extraordinary growth of PCMA and the continued growth in the Connecticut luxury housing market. 2020’s median sale price was $2.1 million, followed by a strong 2021 with median home sale prices reaching $2.3 million. Greenwich continues to be a leader in million-dollar home sales with over 540 transactions falling between $1 million and $3 million. Even with the elevated home prices, high-end homes sold quickly, averaging less than 10 days on the market. “High Net Worth households have migrated from New York to Connecticut in record numbers over the past year, keeping the high-end housing market red hot,” said John R. Lynch, CEO and Founder of PCMA.” We take a holistic approach to High Net Worth Lending when working with our clients and their advisors in the acquisition of prized real estate assets, repositioning obligations, or unlocking liquidity in their respective real estate portfolios.” PCMA’s expansion into the Connecticut market comes on the heels of both internal and external growth of the company. PCMA continues to experience an unprecedented growth of high-net-worth originations at a record pace as we enter 2022 even in the face of rising interest rates, adding to its already impressive C suite bench, and continuing to expand its direct and indirect origination channels. “The Private Clients of Connecticut are under leveraged and over-weighted in excess basis due to record home appreciation, and PCMA is in a perfect position to help high-capacity households unlock liquidity, acquire assets, and lock in long term debt in a manner not available in traditional private banking relationships,” said Lynch. “The Collective is a streamlined approach to asset-based lending without the need to collateralize or pledge vested holdings. These bespoke flexibilities were not available to the High-Net-Worth Communities of Connecticut prior to our expansion.” About PCMA PCMA is a vertically integrated Asset Origination and Convexity Management firm that specializes in Structured, Super Prime, Non-Agency, Private Client Credit. With its captive origination unit, PCMA has become the leading Non-Bank Private Client Lender in the U.S. What began as a linear venture has morphed into a vertical organization and industry leading incubator of ideas pushing the boundaries of innovation in high-capacity financial services.
