Development Finance Beyond Local Markets
Land acquisition, construction and bridge financing for:
- Residential developments
- Multifamily developments
- Mixed-use developments
- Hospitality developments
- Commercial developments
Where domestic lenders cap leverage or pass on complexity, we introduce projects to European capital partners with the appetite to go further. Every project is reviewed and prepared before submission, so it reaches partners as a lender-ready package through an established relationship, not a cold approach.
Submit Your Executive Summary
From Raw Land to Bridge Liquidity
Every development has different capital needs at each stage. Funding that fits the acquisition phase rarely suits construction, and construction debt is not built to carry a finished asset. We look at where your project sits today, what it needs to reach the next milestone, and which capital partners are best placed to fund it.
Land Acquisition & Servicing
For projects with planning in place, partners can fund the land acquisition and refinance existing loans on the site as part of the overall facility, so the project starts with one clean capital structure. We help you present the site, the approvals and the exit clearly so partners can assess the opportunity with confidence.
Construction Funding
Construction is where leverage matters most and where domestic lenders are often most conservative. Our partners provide senior and mezzanine construction debt of up to 95% of cost, with staged draws tied to verified milestones. For qualifying residential projects, joint venture partners can fund 100% of total project cost, including land and construction, with no developer equity and no personal guarantees. Before introduction, we review the budget, contractor, timeline and approvals to make sure the package meets partner expectations.
Bridge & Takeout Financing
Completed projects often need time before they can move to long-term financing, whether that means sales, lease-up or stabilization. Bridge capital retires construction debt, carries the asset through that period, and positions it for refinancing or sale. We also assist sponsors facing a maturing loan, a delayed exit or a gap between construction and permanent financing.
What We Look For
European capital partners offer more leverage than many domestic lenders, but they are no less selective. The projects that move forward are the ones that arrive properly prepared. Before introducing any opportunity, we assess it against the same fundamentals our partners use.
01 · A Proven Track Record
Partners look for developers who have completed projects of similar size and scope. Expect to show three to five comparable completed projects.
02 · Shovel-Ready Status
Full planning consent and permits should be in place at submission, with no local opposition. Projects still seeking approvals are generally not eligible.
03 · Credible Numbers
A clear breakdown of total project cost, build cost, funding required, gross development value and expected profit. Partners' due diligence will test your forecasts, so they need to hold up.
04 · KYC & AML Checks
Our capital partners operate internationally, All principals must pass KYC and AML checks, including ownership and source of funds.
05 · A Defined Exit
Whether through sales, refinancing or long-term hold, the repayment path should be clear and supported by the market.
06 · Transaction Size
Development mandates typically start at $5M USD. Some structures, including full joint venture funding, require larger projects.
