Financing instruments at a glance
Every project needs its own capital structure. We combine the building blocks so that cost, risk and timing fit together – and explain transparently why.
Capital structure
How a structure comes together
A typical development stack: the bank covers the safe part, mezzanine closes the gap, equity carries the rest. The percentages shift with location, pre-letting and sponsor.

FAQ
The questions we hear most
Short answers from day-to-day mandates – including when a neighbouring service is the better route.
What deal size makes structured financing worthwhile?
We work from around EUR 10m. Below that, running a lender process rarely pays for itself. The gap between an off-the-shelf offer and a structured solution quickly runs into six figures.
How fast do we get a reliable indication?
With property documents, calculation and track record in hand: 48 hours for a first range. A signature-ready term sheet takes two to five weeks depending on complexity.
What if no bank comes along?
We look at debt funds, mezzanine or whole loans – and show honestly where capital costs start eating the project. At that point a sale through our transactions desk is often the cleaner call.
Why does the transactions side matter in financing talks?
Every lender wants to see the exit. Live sale mandates tell us what comparable assets actually achieve, so the exit assumption is evidence rather than a guess.
When is corporate finance the better route?
When the company needs capital rather than a single asset – growth, refinancing legacy debt or a shareholder change. Then we structure at company level.
