The manager has provided a senior loan in the region of €25m, which will enable a refurbishment of the property.

The manager has added an infrastructure-focussed lending platform to its existing real estate debt business to meet growing investor demand for long-dated products.

The report, which replaces Europe’s Top 50 Lenders, will be an overview of those actively financing Europe’s property market.

Real estate credit vehicles could feature in the bank's future plans for the platform.

The loan will support the delivery of 2,389 student accommodation beds in the UK.

The manager has hired Sunny Lakhtaria as UK head of real estate debt.

The alternative lender will provide loans of up to 36 months for UK residential developers.

Toni McDermott, who has joined from Morgan Stanley, sees a growing need for flexible finance for real estate sponsors.

The manager's research shows the shift is largely due to a repricing having already occurred in equity markets.

The UK lender’s latest financing, in Liverpool, is its 24th in the region.
