MCR Property Group is planning to make further acquisitions after securing a £250 million debt facility from London-based private equity firm Pollen Street, which includes a revolving senior secured credit facility.
According to the Manchester-based group, the agreement is “part of a wider capital framework that has the potential to support up to £1 billion of future investment across the group’s growing portfolio UK wide.”
MCR, which was founded in 1989 by Aneel Mussarat, has said it will explore opportunities across key regions of the UK, including in residential, commercial, PBSA and mixed-use properties.
The group has already completed a number of acquisitions so far this year, acquiring the Blenheim Court office complex in Solihull in a £13 million deal in March and a portfolio of student accommodation in the East and West Midlands in June.
The latest funding comes less than a year after the group announced that it had secured a £42 million funding deal with NatWest in December 2024, with MCR saying at the time it was planning an “aggressive growth strategy”.
MCR Chief Operating Officer David Tracey said that the Pollen Street facility “represents a major vote of confidence in our strategy and performance” and would give the group “the agility to accelerate our acquisition pipeline, strengthen our portfolio, and continue creating enduring value for our partners and stakeholders.”
He continued: “This facility ensures we can deploy capital with speed and precision while focusing on unlocking enduring value and acquiring assets that fit seamlessly within our long-term portfolio mix.”
Pollen Street Investment Director James Bevans said that the facility would accelerate MCR’s “deployment and business growth”, noting that the group “has built a fantastic track record since 1989, delivering over £5 billion worth of developments.”
He added: "Our investment strategy aims to back fast growing, high quality businesses providing leverage against well-diversified portfolios of cash flow generating assets. MCR’s hands-on approach, grit, and market presence, in combination with our support, should allow MCR to achieve the next phase of their growth plans.”
