A real estate developer in Central Europe faced cash flow timing gaps between project milestones and vendor obligations. Traditional refinancing attempts failed, causing delays in completion.
What We Did
- Mapped the entire cash cycle and identified working capital shortfalls by phase.
- Structured a hybrid facility combining mezzanine financing with a small preferred equity layer to align incentives.
- Modeled repayment waterfalls tied to asset completion and lease-up targets.
- Negotiated with two specialty lenders and one private investor to finalize the package within a tight schedule.
Outcome
- Transaction closed within three months, enabling the project to reach completion ahead of the revised schedule.
- Successful stabilization and lease-up allowed the developer to refinance at a stronger valuation.
Key Takeaway
Timing gaps often need structural creativity, not more equity. Brisk’s hybrid financing solution bridged liquidity needs while preserving long-term value.
