How do you optimise a prime Paris estate's capital structure while funding high-end capital improvements? You design a bespoke, cross-border debt solution.
We recently structured and executed a €20 million, 24-month term loan for an UHNW family. Secured against a premier, landmark property in Paris, the transaction highlights how strategic financing can fund high-end capital enhancements.
The Challenge:
Restructuring and enhancing a landmark asset for global UHNW family. They sought to refine the capital structure of a prestigious Parisian estate by replacing an existing debt facility with a more optimised, flexible lending structure. The family required liquidity to fund significant capital improvements designed to enhance the long-term value of the landmark Hôtel Particulier.
To achieve this, the solution needed to address:
- Capital Optimisation: Refinance and streamline the existing lending facility under more favourable, bespoke terms utilising a prestigious Hôtel Particulier.
- Capital Preservation: Release immediate funding for estate enhancements without disrupting the family’s wider global investment portfolio.
- Execution Speed & Discretion: Execute the cross-border transaction with the absolute privacy and swiftness that family offices demand.
The Solution:
We structured a tailored €20 million private debt solution over a 24-month term. The transaction was executed with absolute discretion.
Seamless Cross-Border Delivery:
At our core, we don't just facilitate funding; we engineer the financial flexibility that global UHNW families, individuals and their family offices demand.
Wealth is global. Our capital is seamless.
