Market-leading commercial property finance solutions
When a commercial property opportunity is recognised and finance is needed, Nedbank Property Finance leads the market in providing agile solutions that help realise your vision.
Nedbank Property Finance specialises in financing commercial, industrial, retail and residential development property, offering loan funding to developers, owners, occupiers and investors. Agile financial solutions include access to undrawn funds, interest-only periods, fixed and floating interest rates, flexible repayments and residual value transactions.
The benefits of our approach
Our client-centred mandates and processes are matched to the specific needs of your particular opportunity and business with a view to yielding a solution that unlocks value and a range of benefits for your business:
- As a consistently active, market-leading financier, we share with you our intimate understanding of the broader property landscape.
- Our decentralised mandates and decisionmaking enable quicker turnaround times in responding to your needs.
- The deep, industry-specific experience and expertise of our sales and credit teams enable us to act in an advisory capacity, adding greater value to your property opportunity.
- Our relationship-focused structure enhances your access to our senior management across all disciplines.
Development Finance
Usually short-term in nature, development finance solutions can be designed for small-, medium- and large-scale buildings, conversion or redevelopment projects, and major refurbishments.
Equity participation
Through our specialised Property Partners Division, we enhance your flexibility in property-based investments and operations by taking an equity finance position in property developments and acquisitions, land investment and portfolio assemblies. Our selective approach in this type of financing, together with our position and strength in the market affords you increased risk mitigation and the ability to enter into larger transactions with limited equity. Nedbank’s interest in these equity transactions is achieved either through direct shareholding, mezzanine loans, or profit-sharing arrangements.
Listed sector solutions
A history of active engagement with property funds and premier companies listed on the JSE has resulted in deep knowledge and insight, making Nedbank Property Finance the market-leading provider of finance solutions for the listed-property market. Enabling this dynamic sector involves agility and highly customised lending that is secured by a portfolio of commercial, residential, retail or industrial properties.
Investment solutions
For the investor seeking income-producing returns with capital appreciation that outperforms other investment options. Owner-occupiers of industrial and commercial property and the listed property sector can expect finance options that are crafted and honed to optimally meet their financing requirements within commercial, industrial and retail property investment.
We enable smart investment solutions through long-term lending; loans secured against property investment portfolios; and structured investment loans allowing investors to customise their agreements in terms of amortisation, interest rates, residual values and cashflows.
Affordable housing finance
At Nedbank Property Finance, we are proud of our role in transforming development opportunities into quality communities. This is made possible through the focused approach of our Affordable Housing division. Funding opportunities for new affordable housing ventures are identified through the extensive network of developers across the public and private sectors. A selective partnership approach with credible and experienced developers with a proven track-record enables us to utilise a full spectrum of resources to ensure value-driven service and delivery of quality projects to the market.
Residential development finance
Backed by a discerning approach, we provide funding solutions for large-scale residential housing developments, enabling key developers that have a sound reputation for delivering residential stock to the market. A minimum transaction amount of R5 million is set out for property developers or residential investors in need of short-term bridging finance for the acquisition of land, the installation of services, and the construction of buildings.
CIB Property Finance Africa: Breaking borders through excellence
The numbers speak for themselves. With an approximate market share of 40% in South African commercial, industrial, residential and retail property finance, Nedbank CIB Property Finance’s extraordinary value proposition and strong client-focused approach are undoubtedly paying off. On the back of these figures, the Property Finance Africa team has their sights firmly set on creating a ripple effect of this success across the African continent. In a broader context, this aligns well with Nedbank Group’s vision of becoming the most admired financial services provider in Africa.
The Property Finance Africa team understands that, to achieve this goal, a measured, patient and prudent approach is required due to the unique nuances of the African market. The team’s approach is being client-centred, structuring highly innovative funding solutions and providing sustainable value to transaction partners and development stakeholders. This approach is bearing fruit based on a number of property finance deals that have been concluded or are nearing completion in various African countries.
Property Finance Africa’s key-focus subsectors include retail, commercial buildings, light industrial developments and select residential developments. As part of a solutions-driven business, the team offers customised financial solutions to developers, property funds and private investors. What differentiates Property Finance Africa from competitors is the team’s thorough understanding of the political, economic, regulatory, tax and legal environments of the various countries.
Most recently Property Finance Africa closed its first real-estate transaction in Nairobi, Kenya. The transaction sponsors were Impact, a specialist investment company that focuses on warehousing and logistics in sub-Saharan Africa. This transaction comprises a USD21,5 million funding package for infrastructure and the phase 1 construction of the Nairobi Gate Industrial Park.
In another success story, Property Finance Africa recently closed a transaction in Kenya for a subsidiary of Centum Investment Company plc, East Africa’s leading investment company. The team concluded a USD65,65 million refinancing deal for the Two Rivers precinct, consisting of 1,5 million developable square metres.
It is clear that Property Finance Africa is fast becoming a continental force that breaks borders through excellence.
