Services for Borrowers

Strategic Financings at Every Stage of Real Estate Investment

Senior Loan

The classic first-lien debt tranche, which we can offer with a higher LTV (loan-to-value) than banks. Our Senior Loans not only provide attractive conditions but also a swift execution and individual structuring. This ensures that your financing proceeds smoothly and efficiently, allowing you to fully focus on your project.

Whole Loan

First-lien secured loan with a LTV up to 75% from a single source. This type of loan allows the borrower to simultaneously benefit from the advantages of first-lien financing and the more flexible configuration of a subordinated loan. It simplifies the financing process and reduces the usual complexity associated with coordinating multiple lenders, while providing a higher LTV compared to the Senior Loan.

Junior Loan

A subordinated debt tranche that complements the first-lien loan. It allows the lender to offer LTVs that are outside the parameters of a Senior Loan but overall still within a moderate leverage range (65 – 75%).

Mezzanine & Bridge

Mezzanine and bridge financings provide a flexible and customized solution for interim financing or for projects that require an additional capital tranche at a higher leverage than available in a Junior Loan. These products effectively bridge the gap between equity and debt. Ideal for borrowers looking for short- to medium-term financing with tailored repayment structures that are considerate of equity requirements.
