Portugal Mixed-Use

Do the fundamentals match the ticket sizes?

  • Allocating Capital - What investment aspects are a must for investors when looking at mixed-use opportunities in Portugal?
  • Portfolio Strategies - Is the size of deployments good enough to ensure owners the expected returns in the segment?
  • Operational Dynamics - How can it impact mixed-use models? Are we seeing new requirements as a hurdle or bridge to success?
  • Competition & Cost - Is the dispute for prime locations and the cost of new deals slowing entries in the market?

Holy Grails or too hard to undertake?

  • Liquidity - Delving into the need for existing funds and closed-ended structures?
  • Debt vs. Equity - Bridging the gap with mezzanine/whole loan solutions or recapitalization? 
  • Continuation Funds - Attractive exit opportunity for fund managers to ensure liquidity for investors?
  • Refinancing Gap - Will alternative lenders step up to the plate or will recapitalization steal the show?

Retail

Defensive growth strategies or battling consumer headwinds? 

  • Transaction Volumes - Should we be betting more on retail or fearing a consumer downturn?
  • Prime Rental Growth vs Mixed-Use & Mega Regeneration - What is quality, where do we find it?
  • Destination & Experiences - Does it give us any premiums to enhance the value of current properties? 
  • Retail in your portfolios - Do we have a strong thesis backing up the asset or new deals are coming to the table?
