EQUITY & JOINT VENTURE

Equity & Joint Venture

Strategic equity and joint venture capital solutions for real estate acquisitions, developments and value-add opportunities across European markets.

Capital beyond traditional debt

Not every real estate transaction can be optimally financed through senior debt alone. Development projects, acquisitions, repositioning strategies and complex transactions may require additional equity or a joint venture capital partner.

KSCG advises sponsors, developers and professional investors on structuring equity and joint venture solutions alongside the appropriate debt financing.

Our role is to assess the capital requirement, structure the transaction and approach suitable institutional, private and alternative capital providers.
