This is OakNorth Bank’s second investment in the last six months, as they provided a £16.5m property finance facility to WMG Group in June 2019.

This finance was used to develop a residential-led mixed-use 17 storey building at the corner of White Church Lane and Commercial Road, London.

OakTree Capital Management was formed in 1995 by a group of investors in high-yield bonds, convertible securities, distressed debt, real estate, control investments and listed equities.
