• Loan Type: Non- Performing Loan Purchase
• Purpose: To refinance incumbent development lender for a distressed mixed-use real estate asset
• Special Feature: Flexible capital structure with a strategic focus on stabilising and optimising the asset’s performance

Background: The project involves an income-producing, recently built mixed-use freehold asset in London, comprising approximately 130,000 sqft of residential, hotel, retail, and office space. The asset includes 7,000 sqft of C3 residential space with 8 penthouses, 99 hotel rooms, 59 serviced apartments, 7,000 sqft of community-servicing retail space on the ground floor, and 30,000 sqft of office space with significant portions let by multiple tenants.

The Challenge: Initially valued at £35m, the asset faced considerable financial stress due to macroeconomic concerns and underperformance. The primary lender required the borrower to exit their position by year-end to manage their balance sheet, creating an urgent need for liquidity.

Maslow Capital’s Solution: Maslow Capital structured a loan purchase with an entry price of £27m, providing immediate liquidity to existing lender and enabling asset stabilisation. The asset was underwritten using expertise across Maslow’s organisation and third party DD providers and asset managers with a comprehensive business plan developer to optimise the assets performance.
