Preserving value, optimising portfolios, navigating complexity

Property and real estate: Restructuring value in a changing market

Real estate and property-backed businesses are under growing pressure. Rising interest rates, shifting occupier demand, ESG compliance burdens and post-COVID asset revaluations are eroding investor confidence and pushing many owners, developers and operators toward distress.

Covenant breaches, refinancing risk and liquidity gaps are common - particularly in retail, office and mixed-use portfolios. With assets often encumbered, capital tied up and multiple stakeholders at the table, resolving issues requires not just financial acumen, but negotiation skill and strategic clarity.

Challenges we help solve

  • Debt maturity and refinancing risk: Increased borrowing costs and tighter credit conditions are forcing urgent lender negotiations and capital structure resets.
  • Asset underperformance: Reduced occupancy, lower footfall and market yield pressure are undermining asset valuations and cash flow.
  • Stakeholder misalignment: Conflicting priorities between lenders, JV partners, tenants and shareholders can stall decisions and erode value.
  • Liquidity gaps and cash burn: Development delays, cost inflation or operational underperformance can quickly lead to working capital crises.
  • Regulatory and ESG pressures: Energy performance standards and investor ESG expectations require capital investment in an already strained environment.
