We take care of the full spectrum of your property development project. Key focus areas include:
Through our sister company, Capital Point Properties, we offer property development-specific sales advice, from assessing the development offering to creating the right marketing material.
We also manage the sales lead funnels that are created from a tailored marketing approach. Similarly, we manage all investors in the scheme, as well as the legalities involved until such time as the development is completed and handed over to the buyer/end-consumer.
We offer this structured service depending on the wants and needs of the client and the development. We have significant experience in working with major banks to fund developments. Key areas in which we provide support include debt (short-term and long-term loans) and equity assessment/management (including mezzanine loans).
Debt: Depending on the needs of the client and the project, we’ll work closely with major banks and lenders to structure development finance that adheres to lenders’ credit requirements, meets the commercial objectives of the project, and is in line with disbursement needs.
Equity: With a solid track record and years of working across a number of major developments both locally and abroad, we have access to a diverse network of private and commercial investors who we bring together on a project from time to time depending on the needs of the investors and project. We assist with aligning mutual expectations and values, drafting shareholder agreements, implementing suspensive conditions when needed, and closing down equity structures after the project is completed.
We help investors source offshore investment opportunities that provide sustainable maximum returns. The types of investments include
Medical real estate: This provides a solid form of annuity income, sometimes in first-world currencies, depending on where the property is located. Healthcare assets proposed by us are typically low-risk commercial property, generating approximately 8% per annum, which is distributed on a quarterly basis. This over time becomes a reliable source for long-term wealth creation.
International investment opportunities: International investment opportunities in Portugal, the USA and the UK allow us to connect investors with excellent offshore developments that offer sustainable maximum returns.
By investing in highly profitable development finance, an investor is able to lessen the risk of dwindling returns in sectors and markets that traditionally have provided a reasonable return. This is distinctly different from the buy-to-let model: development finance does not require a tie-in, nor asset maintenance, nor the need to tenant the asset.
Our company advises on all acquisitions of development land, land assembly, end-user products, commercial, retail, residential and industrial land. We also help with the structuring of new or existing companies.
