Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited: Investment Update

 

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is pleased to announce that on the 24th November 2017, the Group closed a EUR44,625,000 5-year floating rate whole loan secured by 3 shopping centres in Spain.  The financing has been provided in the form of an initial advance along with a capex facility to support the sponsors' proven retail repositioning capability to make further investment in the properties.  The properties are well-anchored, dominate their catchments and are positioned to benefit from the sponsors' active asset management strategy.  The Group expects to earn an attractive risk-adjusted return in line with its stated investment strategy.

 

This is the Group's second Spanish loan investment this year and the Group has a further Spanish loan in the near-term pipeline which when closed will result in a total of EUR107 million of lending in Spain across the three investments.  Spain is one of the Group's target markets for further lending and the Group continues to seek good risk adjusted lending opportunities arising in line with the Group's investment policy.
