Sourcing Product and Co-Investment

With our depth of experience on the Romanian market and strong links with the banking industry we are well aware of all the opportunities available in the Romanian market, not just the assets being sold through agents but also off market transactions as well as real estate secured loans and REO’s that are now being offloaded by the banks.

With funds available for co-investing and the team and infrastructure having the full set of skills to manage the investment process from acquisition through to exit; we are fully aligned with clients interested in investing in Romanian real estate.

Value Creation

We create additional value through lease management by optimizing space and reducing vacancy. Our experience, network and exposure allow us to know what is happening in the market. We are therefore able to react quickly to the active requirements and conclude leases that create value for our clients, as evidenced by our more than 90% occupancy ratio.

Reducing Management Costs

We make significant cost savings through economies of scale and investment in technology. Streamlining property management will reduce non-recoverable costs as well as service charge for tenants making the assets more commercially attractive.

Financial Structuring

While the local banks were not really lending we were sourcing mezzanine and bridge finance from international markets which allowed us to successfully renegotiating loan extensions and debt terms, reaching agreements that extended maturities. Now that the lending markets are opening up we are looking to restructure our clients portfolio’s to reduce overall borrowing costs and align financing with our clients longer terms investment strategy.

Enhancing Existing Income

We work with our tenants to provide the accommodation they need, we work hard to retain tenants in our buildings with competitive renewal options well ahead of existing lease expires as well as ongoing technical support to make their use of the space comfortable.
