ARCF III Joins a $23.4 Million Registered Direct Offering and Private Placement in the United States

ARCF III, a newly-structured investment vehicle focused on the U.S. real‑estate sector, announced its participation in a $23.4 million registered direct offering and private placement on Thursday, October 16, 2025. The transaction, conducted under the auspices of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is intended to raise capital from accredited investors and strategically position the company for a growth‑oriented portfolio of high‑yield assets across several states.

What the Offering Entails

The offering is a registered direct offering, meaning that it has been filed with the SEC under Regulation A+ and is exempt from the traditional public offering process. In a private placement, the securities are sold directly to a limited group of investors without the need for a public market listing. The combination of these two mechanisms allows ARCF III to reach a broad range of sophisticated investors while maintaining regulatory compliance.

• Security Type: Preferred shares with a 4.5% annual dividend, convertible into common equity at a predetermined ratio.
• Minimum Investment: $100,000 per investor, with a maximum allocation of $2 million per accredited investor.
• Offering Price: $10.00 per share, providing an implied valuation of approximately $23.4 million.
• Use of Proceeds: The funds will be deployed to acquire and refinance residential multifamily units, complete development of mixed‑use projects, and fund a reserve for future acquisitions.

The offering closed on the same day it was announced, with over 80% of the available shares sold within hours, underscoring strong demand from the accredited investor community.

About ARCF III

ARCF III was established in 2024 as a spin‑off from the parent ARCF Investment Group, which has a long history of delivering consistent returns in the U.S. real‑estate market. The new entity focuses on high‑quality, income‑generating properties located in emerging growth corridors, including the Midwest, the South, and the West Coast.

• Leadership Team:
  • John A. Bennett, CEO – Former real‑estate portfolio manager at Global Property Advisors with 15 years of experience in acquisition and redevelopment.
  • Emily R. Hayes, CFO – CPA and former finance director at Brookstone Capital Partners, responsible for overseeing capital structure and risk management.
  • Michael T. Kim, Head of Acquisitions – Specialist in distressed assets, previously led a $150 million turnaround project in Detroit.

The team emphasizes a disciplined acquisition strategy that focuses on core‑exposure properties with strong cash flow and the potential for modest appreciation. Their mandate is to deliver a target return of 12–15% annualized, measured on a net‑asset‑value basis.

Regulatory and Disclosure Highlights

ARCF III’s offering is fully compliant with SEC regulations. The company filed a Form S‑1, which was subsequently declared effective, and it is also registered under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, the offering memorandum, available to qualified investors at the company’s website, outlines the risks associated with real‑estate investing, including market volatility, property‑specific risk, and liquidity constraints.

The company’s official press release, which can be found on the GlobeNewswire platform, reiterates that all securities were offered in a “qualified” private placement, thereby reducing the requirement for public disclosure. However, the company remains committed to transparency by providing prospective investors with a detailed financial prospectus and a summary of the investment strategy.

Investor Perspective

The high‑yield preferred shares represent an attractive opportunity for accredited investors seeking stable income. The 4.5% dividend is payable semi‑annually, and the conversion feature offers upside potential should ARCF III’s equity valuations increase. Investor outreach has highlighted the company’s proven track record and the robust pipeline of properties slated for acquisition in the next 12 months.

Future Outlook

ARCF III plans to expand its geographic footprint by entering the high‑growth urban market in the Northeast, particularly targeting cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh, and Atlanta. The company also intends to explore strategic partnerships with institutional investors and explore co‑investment opportunities in larger multifamily developments. Management believes that the current market environment—characterized by historically low interest rates and a shortage of high‑quality rental inventory—provides a unique window for generating above‑average returns.
