Exeter Hospitality converted the former House of Fraser department store into a hotel.
Opened at the year beginning, the IHG Hotel Indigo features 104 bedrooms, a new rooftop bar overlooking Exeter Cathedral and retail space on the ground floor.
It also boasts a sports bar, a spa and Colson’s Bar and Restaurant.
Topland Group structured finance director Tom Betts said: “Hospitality remains a priority sector for us as consumer and business demand continues to strengthen and pass pre-Covid levels.
“As well as developing our own sites, our loan book is geared towards supporting ambitious projects – particularly those that provide a new purpose for quality assets in prime locations.
“The new Hotel Indigo is a great example of this commitment and we look forward to helping others bring forward similar regeneration projects in the coming months.”
The company has also committed to offering more than £55m ($69.9m) for the development and refurbishment of two hotels located on the seafront of Brighton. These two hotels are planned to be operated by the Dalata Group and Hilton.
Through a £21m ($26.6m) facility, Topland Group is also supporting the conversion of the Northern and Shell Tower in London into a 209-unit residential project.
The company also is supporting a 159-apartment project located near Paradise Circus, Birmingham, UK.
