Crescent Growth Capital closes books on first calendar year; over $180 million in tax credit financings during the course of 2009
Capping off its first calendar year of operations, Crescent Growth Capital closed seven transactions in December 2009, representing $95 million of New Markets Tax Credits financings. These end-of-year transactions, executed on behalf of entities in both Texas and Louisiana, brought CGC’s full-year total to over $180 million of tax credit financings.
“We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to execute tax credit equity transactions on behalf of so many worthy entities this past year,” remarked Managing Director Eric Finley. “That we’ve been able to decisively contribute to helping realize better health outcomes, improved educational opportunities, and more effective social service delivery says a lot for the skills deployed by my colleagues, our consultants and the other parties to these complicated transactions.”
“Closing New Markets financings requires long-term collaboration across disciplines, and the flexibility to bend first one way, then another in the interests of getting across the finish line,” added Director Ryan Kenter. “Make no mistake, it’s a challenging business – but it’s truly fulfilling work.”
