FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Seven Hills
Realty Trust Provides Business Update
Closed Two First
Mortgage Loans Totaling $98.0 Million
Received $68.0
Million of Proceeds from Loan Repayments, Reduced Office Exposure to 13%
Expects to Close
Three Loans in Diligence Totaling $121.7 Million During the Fourth Quarter
Newton, MA
(October 5, 2026): Seven Hills Realty Trust (Nasdaq: SEVN) today provided a business update, including announcing the closing
of two new first mortgage loan investments totaling $98.0 million secured by multifamily and mixed-use properties, the repayment of two
loans resulting in proceeds of $68.0 million, and the reduction in its office exposure to approximately 13% of its portfolio as of September
30, 2026 based on outstanding principal balances.
Tom Lorenzini, President
and Chief Investment Officer of SEVN, made the following statement:
“The closing of the
two new investments along with the recent loan repayments highlights the strength of our origination platform and active portfolio management
strategy. We believe these investments are secured by high-quality assets with experienced sponsors and are strong additions to our diversified
portfolio.
The repayment of our Dallas
office loan resulted in a modest discount to the outstanding balance, but we believe it represents a positive outcome for SEVN, in that
it further reduces our office exposure, while increasing our capacity to deploy capital into investments where we see potential for better
risk-adjusted returns.
We also expect additional
capital recycling activity in the near term, including the anticipated repayment of our Carlsbad, California office loan during the fourth
quarter.
These recent and expected
developments position us to advance our objectives of generating sustainable dividend coverage and delivering value for our shareholders.”
The new loan investments
include:
· A
$68.0 million floating rate first mortgage loan to refinance Populus Waterside, a Class A,
344-unit multifamily property located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Completed in 2024, the property
is located in a submarket with convenient access to Interstate 75 and the Hamilton Place
retail corridor. The loan has a three-year initial term with two one-year extension options.
The transaction was brought to SEVN's manager, Tremont Realty Capital, by Cushman & Wakefield
on behalf of the sponsors, Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Company.
· A
$30.0 million floating rate first mortgage loan to refinance a 246,000 square foot mixed-use
retail and self-storage property located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The property includes
approximately 202,000 square feet of retail space and 44,000 square feet of self-storage
space. The loan has a three-year initial term with two one-year extension options. The transaction
was brought to Tremont Realty Capital by JLL.
The loan repayments
include:
· A
loan secured by an office property in Dallas, Texas that was repaid at approximately 97%
of its $44.2 million outstanding balance, reflecting a $1.5 million discount, which was significantly
below the $6.3 million CECL reserve allocated to this loan as of June 30, 2026. Following
the repayment, SEVN's office exposure decreased from 19% as of June 30, 2026 to approximately
13% of its portfolio as of September 30, 2026 based on outstanding principal balances. The
loan’s net interest margin was approximately 80 basis points below the weighted average
net interest margin of new SEVN loans closed year to date. SEVN had limited financing on
this loan relative to its other investments. As a result, the repayment increases SEVN’s
lending capacity by approximately $46 million and enhances its ability to redeploy capital
into investments with higher earnings potential.
· A
$25.3 million loan secured by a self-storage property in Fayetteville, Georgia that was repaid
in full. The loan carried a net interest margin approximately 100 basis points below the
weighted average net interest margin of new SEVN loans closed year to date.
Since the beginning
of the third quarter, SEVN has closed $122.3 million of first mortgage loan investments, including the two loans announced today. SEVN
continues to advance its deployment strategy with three loans in diligence totaling $121.7 million that are expected to close during
the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to closing conditions.
SEVN will discuss
these transactions in further detail during its third quarter 2026 earnings conference call scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 2026
at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
