A Nordic ESG-focused investment manager required sophisticated refinancing for a partially operational Swedish greenhouse facility (50% stabilized, 50% under development). Traditional bank lenders struggled with the hybrid nature of the asset—combining operational cash flows with development risk—while time-sensitive power purchase agreements and EU sustainability deadlines demanded immediate execution.

Decus successfully introduced a €89M hybrid debt facility via a specialized European infrastructure credit fund in under 12 weeks.

A Swiss institutional investment boutique had secured a compelling Berlin residential portfolio through their existing LP relationships and senior acquisition financing. With 40% of the required capital committed, an additional €32M of value-add equity was required to execute comprehensive ESG retrofitting, unit modernization, and housing conversion strategies that would generate 18%+ net-IRR returns.

Decus ran a targeted process securing LOIs from two tier-one institutional GPs, enabling our client to select optimal terms and strategic alignment.

A German value-add specialist had locked up an off-market FMCG logistics development opportunity near Nuremberg with full planning permissions and a 15-year anchor tenant pre-lease. To optimize equity returns while maintaining sponsor control, they sought mezzanine financing to bridge the gap between conservative senior construction lending (65% LTC) and target leverage.

Decus sourced competitive mezzanine financing at 85% LTC from a Swiss alternative credit fund, enhancing project IRR by 600+ basis points.

A top-tier German investment manager faced a closing deadline on a €90M value-add portfolio acquisition with transformational business plan potential across mixed-use assets. Having secured €62M from existing fund LPs, they required minority co-investment capital that would accept passive economics while meeting institutional KYC and structuring requirements.

Decus accessed €28M through a leading Swiss private bank’s UHNW platform, structuring participation via a Luxembourg feeder vehicle.
