Consulting firm Capcora, specialized on real assets, has arranged mezzanine bridge financing for the Essen-based real estate company FAKT AG. The funds are used to finance new projects.

The financing was structured by Capcora on the basis of the project Ruhr Tower, a 22-storey office tower in Essen, which has been completely revitalized in the past few years, almost fully let and sold to an institutional investor in the fourth quarter 2019.

"We are pleased about the successful cooperation with FAKT AG on this special project. The transaction was implemented within just a few weeks. Mezzanine capital is very diverse and can also be used in late project phases," said Christian von Olnhausen, managing director at Capcora and responsible for the real estate sector.

"As one of the larger real estate owners and developers in the Ruhr area, we always strive to capitalize our projects in the best possible way. We can use the released liquidity well to advance new projects, "said Norbert Boddenberg, CFO of FAKT AG.
