CAPITALMIND ADVISES CONCEPT-REAL GMBH ON THE REFINANCING OF A RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

Founded in the early 90s by Munich-based entrepreneur Erich W. Schwaiger,  Concept-Real GmbH develops and manages residential real estate in the Munich area.

With over 2000 units, the company manages >1 billion in assets.

Under the existing financing structure, each property company was financed individually by several lenders and tranches. In total, the portfolio was moderately leveraged and thus had a comparatively low LTV (<40%).

In the course of the refinancing, the existing portfolio was split into two financing groups. We managed to obtain a new financing from an insurance lender. As a result, the LTV was significantly increased to 60%, and the interest rates of the current financing were substantially reduced to 2.25% with a 25-year maturity. For the second financing group the existing lender increased its exposure to >50% LTV.

The refinancing enables Concept-Real GmbH to invest the freed-up capital in future projects.

The transaction underlines Capitalmind Investec’s expertise in debt advisory in the real estate sector.

“The refinancing is a major step for implementing the long-term strategy of my group. Due to Capitalmind Investec’s placement power and management of a highly competitive process we were able to maximize the LTV and to achieve the best possible terms. It has been a pleasure working together with the Capitalmind Investec team.” Erich W. Schwaiger CEO, Founder & Owner Concept-Real GmbH
