Capital Routes

Before committing capital, a lender needs a credible answer to one question:

How will they get their money back?

In Episode 2 of Capital Routes: The Jersey Series, Brave Corp CEO, Caleb Parker, sits down with with Neil Spacie, Managing Director of Hawk, in Jersey to explore the questions he would ask before backing an operational real estate project.

Drawing on his lending experience and Hawk’s family office connections, Neil discusses the credibility of the team, the strength of the equity partners and the resilience of the businesses generating income within a building.

Topics Discussed

* How lenders assess experienced teams behind new businesses with limited corporate track records.

* What happens when several income streams within a mixed-use asset fall at the same time.

* Whether equity partners can support a project if performance falls short.

* Why a short-term lender needs to understand who could provide the next stage of funding.

* Whether an asset retains its value when the original management team steps away.

They also explore Neil’s view that uncertainty can create an opening for specialist capital, and what would need to be demonstrated before mainstream lenders become comfortable with the model.

As office buildings become more operational, how does the capital behind them need to evolve?

Hospitality, flexible workplaces, food and beverage, and wellness are changing how buildings generate income.

That raises questions about how we finance them, value them and allocate risk.

Welcome to Capital Routes: The Jersey Series, a Brave Ideas collaboration with PCD Group.

Hosted by Caleb Parker, founder and CEO of Brave Corporation, this new series was recorded in Jersey alongside PCD’s private wealth dinner.

The series brings together lenders, finance brokers, developers, lawyers and private wealth leaders to explore the decisions that determine whether the next generation of office real estate gets funded.

This trailer introduces the conversations ahead, featuring David Bell, Neil Spacie, Martin Johnson, Phil Wood and Jeff O’Boyle.

Across the series, we ask:

* What can debt underwrite?

* Where does equity step in?

* How do you value income that isn’t secured by long leases?

* Who carries the operational risk?

* What must be proven before institutional capital returns?

Our first full episode, featuring David Bell of PCD Group, launches later today, to set the stage for the episodes that follow.

Managing a capital raise is the hardest part of real estate right now. It is also the part I enjoy most…

Every serious conversation comes back to the same question:

How do you structure debt, equity and private credit around income that is not fully contracted anymore?

Operational real estate breaks the old rent-over-yield model, and lenders, investors and family offices are all working out what replaces it.

On 1 October, we’ll be in Jersey for the PCD Group International Real Estate Conference, hosted by Hiizzy, as media partners as we launch:

Capital Routes™ is a five-part filmed series exploring how private capital finances, structures and underwrites operational real estate.
