The Challenge

Traditional market debts had tighten significantly

The sponsor had budgeted for a specific debt-to-equity ratio, but available terms from conventional lenders didn't match their pro forma assumptions. They needed to close in 90 days to maintain development timeline.

The Solution

We structured a three part capital stack for the brand.

By combining senior debt, mezzanine financing, and preferred equity. This approach preserved the sponsor's equity returns while creating certainty around capital availability and close timeline.

Why this structure worked

The traditional debt-only approach would have reduced equity returns below the sponsor's hurdle rate. By introducing mezzanine and preferred equity, we created a solution that worked for multiple capital sources while maintaining sponsor returns.

Client Feedback

Capital Partners didn't just find us capital they restructured the entire deal to make it work better than our original plan.
