$10 Million Preferred Equity Recap


CATEGORIES  |  Debt  |  Equity  |  Financial Advisory  |  Investments  |  Multifamily  |  Student Housing

FIDES Capital Partners, LLC ("FIDES") has been engaged as the financial advisor to the developer of a multifamily development in a strong Sunbelt market. “Our client was seeking partial liquidity on a recently completed multifamily development that was still in lease-up,” said Gregg Feldkamp of FIDES. “Given the need for capital in other under-construction projects, our client asked us to procure capital to recapitalize a portion of their interest.  This was complicated by the fact our client wasn’t the sole equity source in the project and their partner was not interested in leveraging their position ratably.  Our experience with complicated capital solutions distinguishes us from other capital advisory firms or mortgage banking firms.  We know how to address these complex situations, as we’ve served in capacities as both lender and borrower.  We are thoughtful in our approach and diligent with our execution and our client is confident that we’ll deliver when it counts.”

FIDES Capital Partners, LLC ("FIDES") has been engaged as the financial advisor to a multifamily owner regarding a defaulted mortgage secured by a portfolio of multifamily properties. “We did a lot of lender negotiations and restructurings during the GFC, and we understand how both creditors and debtors view these situations,” said Greg Longoria of FIDES. “So we modeled the opportunity from the lender’s perspective to understand their options, as well as their opportunity cost if they were to sell the note and redeploy the capital into a new loan.  We then provided several options to the lender based on how our client could create value with a refreshed capital structure, that included a restructured loan.  Everyone now has transparency into the decision making process.”
