REAL ESTATE FINANCE NETHERLANDS

Real Estate Finance in the Netherlands

Independent real estate finance advisory for investors, developers and sponsors seeking development finance, bridge finance, investment debt and structured capital in the Netherlands.

Financing Landscape

Structuring Dutch real estate finance around the transaction

The Dutch real estate finance market combines domestic banks, specialist property lenders, debt funds, private credit providers and alternative capital. The right route depends on the asset, business plan, leverage, timing and exit strategy.

Investment assets with stable rental income are typically assessed differently from development, transformation or bridge situations. Development transactions add construction risk, permits, cost monitoring, sponsor equity and projected exit values to the underwriting process.

KSCG acts as an independent advisor. We analyse the financing requirement, structure the capital approach and identify lenders and capital providers whose mandate fits the transaction.

Capital Sources

Accessing the appropriate lender universe

A Dutch real estate transaction may fit more than one type of capital provider. KSCG compares the structure and execution requirements before approaching the market.

Banks

Senior real estate debt for transactions that fit conventional leverage, cash-flow and risk parameters.

Debt Funds

Flexible senior, whole-loan and development structures for transactions requiring speed or tailored underwriting.

Private & Alternative Credit

Bridge, transitional and bespoke capital for non-standard or time-sensitive situations.

Equity & JV Capital

Equity, preferred equity and joint venture capital where the business plan requires additional sponsor-side capital.

KSCG Approach

From financing strategy to execution

We start with the transaction rather than a predefined product. The asset, sponsor, business plan, leverage, timing and exit determine which financing structure is credible.

KSCG prepares the financing approach, identifies suitable capital providers, coordinates lender engagement, compares proposals and supports negotiation, due diligence and documentation through closing.
