Alternative financing boom: FAP increases revenues by over 90 percent

The FAP Group, a leading independent advisory company for capital raising and structuring for real estate investments, has expanded its business significantly over the past year. In 2020, revenues increased by 92 percent compared to the prior year. Overall, FAP successfully concluded 26 projects and structured capital for properties worth over €1.03bn (2019: €801m). The largest project last year was the refinancing of a residential portfolio in mid-sized German cities with a financing volume of around €230m.

FAP’s debt fund „FAP Balanced Real Estate Financing I”, which the company had launched at the end of 2018 to allocate subordinated capital to existing properties, revitalization projects and developments in Germany, has distributed a volume of over €65m over the past months. Among the projects financed is a revitalisation on Düsseldorf’s Königsallee high street, the development of a plot in Frankfurt as well as maximising financing for the acquisition of a residential asset in central Berlin, close to the iconic KaDeWe department store. The largest ever fund commitment, in the high double-digit millions, was also achieved last year from a German insurer.
