Changes in the framework conditions and market structures are leading banks to increasingly withdraw from the lending business, particularly from financing investments in commercial real estate. Often, the high equity share of 25 to 35 percent, as well as the high exit of 70 percent or more, serve as knockout criteria for obtaining external capital. Against this backdrop, more and more real estate companies are reorienting themselves by leaving the banking market and seeking financing in the capital market. However, the instruments and methods of the capital market are fundamentally different from those of traditional real estate financing. Here, the focus is on securing sufficient equity capital. Renowned scholars and leading practitioners from the real estate sector describe both the fundamentals and the instruments and application possibilities in this book.
