The Challenges

Significant time and cost overruns by the developer resulted in a substantial unsecured exposure for our client, the builder. Developer did not have the capacity to refinance a distressed asset partway through construction.

Our Solution

Acquisition of the asset without additional security, ensuring the protection of substantial funds owed to the client who could now complete the project as owner / builder.

Client's Result

Positions the builder to recover 100% of the funds owed and potentially realise a development profit upon project completion.
