Imperial Blue
Imperial Blue’s mezz-equity product is highly unique in the development market. On the one hand, mezzanine lenders typically cap at 90% loan to cost whilst conversely many equity funds & investors take the vast majority of the profit from developers. Typical equity structures see developers often treated more as development managers on their own schemes and instead paid fees, waterfalls and promotes. We enable developers to absolutely minimise their input into a deal whilst retaining the bulk of the profit by utilising our fixed cost product. We do require a contribution from developers but our mezzanine finance structure enables them to remain fully in control of their project

INTELLIGENT DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

What is mezzanine development finance?

Mezzanine development finance is a type of real estate funding that can help real estate developers gear more highly than they otherwise could with senior debt alone. A second charge is typically placed alongside the senior lender, an intercreditor agreement is put in place between the lenders and this enables a further tranche of mezzanine finance capital to be lent and borrowed.
One of the biggest advantages of mezzanine development finance is that it minimises the equity requirements of real estate developers which in turn maximises returns on their own investments by leveraging higher up the capital stack.
Mezzanine development finance can also be a great option for developers who are looking to raise funds without giving up too much equity in their project. Because mezzanine financing is in effect a combination of debt and equity, developers can raise the funds they need on a fixed cost without having to give up a large percentage of ownership in their project.
Overall, mezzanine development finance is a flexible and versatile funding option that can be used to finance a wide range of projects. Whether you're a developer looking to finance a small renovation or a large-scale development, mezzanine financing can help you secure the capital you need to bring your project to fruition.

Why is mezzanine finance attractive?

Mezzanine finance is valuable for several reasons:

Growth:

Mezzanine finance is a flexible funding option that can be used for a wide range of projects, from small-scale renovations to large-scale developments and enables developers to spread their capital amongst a number of projects simultaneously rather than one at a time

Quasi-equity on fixed rates

Mezzanine finance combines elements of debt and equity financing, which allows developers to raise funds without giving up too much equity in their project.

Speed of funding

Mezzanine finance is relatively quick to obtain, which can be beneficial for developers who need to raise funds quickly to take advantage of a market opportunity if their own capital is limited.
