Seven Hills Realty Trust announced the deployment of $101.3 million across three newly originated and acquired first mortgage loans, marking a significant expansion of its national commercial real estate lending portfolio. The investments span student housing, hospitality, and industrial assets in markets demonstrating sustained demand and meaningful long-term value potential.
The first loan is a recently originated $37.3 million financing secured by Mazza Grandmarc, a 628-bed student housing complex serving students at the University of Maryland and located in College Park. The 232-unit property benefits from strong enrollment-driven demand within the university’s surrounding market. The loan carries an initial term through November 2028, with two 12-month extension options.
Seven Hills also acquired a $37.0 million first mortgage loan backed by SpringHill Suites, a 168-room Marriott-branded hotel in Revere, Massachusetts. Built in 2022, the property features ocean views, modern amenities, and a proximity to Boston Logan Airport. The hotel benefits from a diverse set of year-round demand drivers. This loan has an initial term through July 2026, with three 12-month extension options.
The third investment is a $27.0 million first mortgage loan secured by a 138,000-square-foot industrial facility located in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The property includes modernized infrastructure and substantial recent capital upgrades. It is partially leased to a global life sciences tenant that has committed significant investment under a long-term lease. The loan’s initial term extends through July 2027, with two 12-month extension options.
Seven Hills stated that these transactions align with its strategy of targeting credit-oriented, collateral-focused lending opportunities supported by resilient real estate fundamentals. The student housing, oceanfront hospitality, and life sciences-anchored industrial property each contribute to sector diversification and new geographic exposure to the company’s growing loan portfolio. The firm emphasized that the loans were structured to align closely with sponsor business plans while meeting Seven Hills’ underwriting standards.
Seven Hills Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust that originates and invests in first mortgage loans tied to middle-market transitional commercial properties. It is externally managed by Tremont Realty Capital, an affiliate of The RMR Group, which oversees approximately $39 billion in assets.
