Affinius Capital has launched its European debt platform, closing its first transaction with an £80 million senior loan to a joint venture supported by H.I.G. Capital, secured by student housing projects in Leeds and Lancaster.

Standard Chartered provided back leverage financing. This transaction is a milestone in Affinius's expansion into European lending, complementing its U.S. lending growth of over $50 billion since 2013. The European platform aims at development lending and transitional credit, leveraging existing expertise in logistics, data centers, and multifamily housing.
