  • A Tradition Unlike Any Other. The Masters Tournament is known for its prestigious history, beautiful course, and unique traditions, including the iconic green jacket awarded to the winner. The tournament is invitation-only and features a smaller, elite field compared to other major championships. In celebration of this iconic event, together with our co-sponsors, SafeBridge Private Wealth, Nacora International Insurance Brokers, and Chubb, we brought together a distinguished group of clients, colleagues, and friends for an immersive event experience to watch the world's finest compete for the coveted green jacket. We were delighted to host this event in our beautiful new headquarters at 320 Bay Street, in Toronto. Of course, at Cameron Stephens we always try to give back in meaningful ways. In keeping with this tradition, we ran a charity golf simulator competition, with the proceeds going to The Gateway – The Salvation Army Housing and Homeless Support. The Gateway is a 120-bed emergency shelter and drop-in for individuals experiencing homelessness and marginalization in Toronto https://thegateway.ca/. Special thanks to Mo & Co Event Coordination and the Cameron Stephens event team for the incredible event planning, as well as 705 Media for the awesome photography.

  • Deal of the Week 6: Cameron Stephens is excited to announce a $12,700,000 first mortgage term loan for a retirement home in Ottawa, ON. This 60-month term loan will refinance existing debt and facilitate equity repatriation for the borrower. The project is a six-story retirement home including one hundred units with premium amenities and finishes, catering to a diverse range of needs from independent living to memory care. The financing was expertly managed by Conor Soye, Senior Director Mortgage Origination, and Daniel Leitch, Vice President, Head of Syndication.  WHY IT MATTERS: • “Today, the seniors housing asset class finds itself on the doorstep of a favourable demographic-driven demand curve shift. Despite the growing demand, because of five years of declining development activity, the rate of supply growth has slowed to a cyclical low. The confluence of these trends will result in tightening market conditions and will continue to drive improving occupancy and outsized rent growth. We believe these factors will result in seniors housing outperforming traditional real estate sectors over the next decade.” Cushman and Wakefield, February 2024. • The senior living sector is showing signs of robust growth, with increasing occupancy rates fueled by demographic trends and rising demand. Cameron Stephens provides innovative financing solutions that can address the evolving needs of Canada’s aging population. • This transaction highlights Cameron Stephens' comfort to providing equity repatriation on stabilized assets.

  • Cameron Stephens is proud to provide a $34,000,000 1st mortgage construction loan for an office-to-rental conversion project in St. Catharines, ON. This is a 10-storey office building conversion into a 183-unit rental apartment building. This project will revitalize an iconic downtown location and bring much-needed rental stock to this area. Office building conversion is an emerging asset class.

Observing progress, immersing in the space, and listening to the client's challenges and solutions were invaluable parts of Cameron Stephens’ consultation process. This transaction is a culmination of hard work and commitment shown by CSMC’s Origination, Underwriting and Syndication teams, and our Broker partner, Abishak Sharma. Congrats to MacKenzie McGuire, Director, Mortgage Origination for leading the origination efforts. Shoutouts to Jonathan Fulcher, CPA, CA and Marko Sijakovic, CFA for their tireless effort on underwriting and syndication.  WHY IT MATTERS: • Office conversions are at the forefront of housing supply solutions.

  • CSMC is proud to work with Mackenzie Myles (Lorne Capital), to commit on a 90-unit condo project in Napanee, Ontario. The condo project is on the former site of Gibbard Factory, which was Canada’s oldest furniture factory of 173 years until they closed their doors in 2009. Our client will preserve the Gibbard Furniture Factory legacy by transforming the property into a beautiful waterfront community. The condo project will merge modern contemporary amenities with small-town charm. CSMC committed and funded the land and predevelopment loan while it sourced institutional capital to provide construction financing for the project. Ultimately, CSMC successfully attracted institutional investment by bolstering the transaction's creditworthiness through a substantial infusion of mezzanine capital. The successful execution of this transaction owes a great deal to the leadership and syndication expertise of Daniel Leitch, our Vice President, and Head of Syndication. Daniel adeptly showcased the Borrower’s commitment and capability towards the project. Cameron Stephen’s private capital and institutional capital have a stronger understanding of a previously untapped submarket, positioning us for greater success in future. We are delighted to collaborate with our client and Lorne Capital, and we eagerly anticipate working on the next phase of this project together.   WHY IT MATTERS: • Napanee is a vibrant, historic town, with a population of 17,000, making it a great place to live, work and play. Cameron Stephens is committed to building local communities and supporting family businesses. • Cameron Stephens was able to finance a condo project in a tertiary market, and thereby deliver a creative and effective solution for the borrower.
