VICI Properties Provides $1.5B Mezzanine Loan for One Beverly Hills
VICI Properties has expanded its long-term strategic relationship with Cain and Eldridge Industries by providing a $1.5B mezzanine loan behind a $2.8B senior loan commitment led by J.P. Morgan as part of the construction financing for One Beverly Hills. The VICI Mezzanine Loan represents a $1.05B incremental commitment beyond VICI's existing $450M investment in the project and is the culmination of the first expression of VICI's previously announced long-term strategic relationship with Cain and Eldridge Industries. One Beverly Hills, a landmark 17.5-acre luxury mixed-use project, is being developed by Cain and master planned by Foster + Partners. The development will be anchored by Aman Beverly Hills, bringing Aman's first West Coast hotel, Aman-branded residences, and Aman Club to Beverly Hills. The masterplan will also include a full-scale refurbishment of The Beverly Hilton, preserving the Hollywood landmark's status as a premier luxury destination while integrating it into the broader masterplan. Alongside its hospitality and residential offerings, One Beverly Hills will feature 10 acres of botanical gardens and open space, creating a lush, walkable setting with high-end retail, dining, and cultural experiences woven into the landscape. Construction on the One Beverly Hills development commenced in 2024, with vertical works beginning in the fall of 2025 and phased delivery scheduled to commence in 2027. The VICI Mezzanine Loan has an initial term of 4 years with one 12-month extension option and will be deployed over the course of the initial term, providing for consistent, monthly capital allocation. VICI intends to fund the investment with cash on hand. In connection with this increase in VICI's participation in the financing of the One Beverly Hills development, Cain, Eldridge Industries, and VICI have agreed in principle pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent to further their strategic relationship that was first announced in February 2025. The letter of intent expresses Cain, Eldridge Industries, and VICI's shared intention to expand their strategic relationship into an Experiential Cross-Capital Venture whereby the three companies will, when suitable, work together to identify, pursue, and potentially participate in the funding of each other's experiential investment activities in various structures. Accordingly, it is the intention of Cain, Eldridge Industries, and VICI that, upon maturity of the VICI Mezzanine Loan, the companies will seek opportunities to deploy VICI's returned capital into new experiential investments that meet each company's investment criteria. Additionally, VICI may from time to time and at its sole election present to Cain and Eldridge Industries experiential investment opportunities in which Cain and/or Eldridge Industries may participate.
