Leading Bank Strengthens Position in Real Estate & Hospitality Sector

A prominent website has solidified its status as the go-to bank in the real estate and hospitality sector, thanks to its sectorial expertise and successful O2D approach. With a distribution rate of 78 percent, the bank has proven to be a key player in the industry.

The bank's influence extends across all core European markets, having been involved in emblematic transactions. In 2019, it ranked as the 1st bookrunner and 1st MLA for syndicated real estate finance loans in the EMEA region for the third consecutive year, according to Dealogic's EMEA Real Estate Loans Report.

In Germany, the bank ranked 2nd (and 1st among French banks, as reported by Dealogic) in 2019. Notable transactions included a €754 million loan for Signa Prime Selection and a €160 million acquisition financing of the 99 West Tower in Frankfurt, structured to comply with the Green Loan Principles.

The bank's commitment to green and responsible finance is evident in its numerous transactions. In Spain, it acted as Sole Mandated Lead Arranger on the €175 million portfolio refinancing of 20 healthcare facilities across Spain for Healthcare Activos.

In France, the bank closed and distributed several emblematic transactions in 2019, ranking 1st (source: Dealogic). These included a €560 million loan for Powerhouse Habitat, a €507 million mortgage loan for Swiss Life Asset Managers, a €271 million acquisition financing of Château La Messardière, a €200 million "green" corporate financing for Gecina, and a loan indexed to criteria for reducing the carbon footprint and HQE (high environmental quality) classification of buildings.

The bank also made its mark in Italy, closing the €420 million office portfolio financing for Generali.

In addition to these achievements, the bank is one of the main issuers of "sustainable" and "green" real estate finance, continuing to set a high standard in the industry.

When compared to other top bookrunners in the European real estate finance markets in 2019, such as BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, and UBS, the bank has proven its resilience and commitment to excellence.

With its continued success and dedication to green and responsible finance, the bank is poised to remain a leader in the real estate and hospitality sector for years to come.
