A real estate fund owned by a high net worth individual on a GBP180 million senior and mezzanine facility provided by an investment bank to assist with the acquisition of a portfolio of hotels located around the UK. In addition, the team has advised on a GBP130 million facility arranged by an investment bank in connection with the acquisition of a group of companies (incorporated in England and Gibraltar) which own a portfolio of 26 hotels throughout the UK and on the EUR80 million facility arranged secured against an office building in Germany.
