Project Funding for Property Development
Arranging a $ 30 Million Non-Recourse Project Funding in Indonesia
Cost-effective project financing solutions
In 2019, Opulent Capital International Group successfully arranged a USD 30 million non-recourse project fund for a real estate developer seeking to finance a high-value property development project.
The process required expertise in monetizing bank instruments and navigating complex financial frameworks to secure funding efficiently.
In emerging markets, structured funding for urban development—like those supported by the World Bank’s urban development programs—plays a key role in economic transformation.
The client faced multiple challenges in accessing funders and understanding alternative financing methods.
With Opulent Capital International Group’s guidance, the funding process was completed effectively, saving the client unnecessary costs and time delays.
Challenges Faced
Securing non-recourse project funding for property development is a complex endeavor, and the client faced several key challenges:
- Limited Access to Direct Funders:
The client had no established relationships with funders, relying instead on brokers, which often resulted in prolonged timelines, higher costs, and reduced transparency. - Inadequate Knowledge of Alternative Financing Methods:
The client’s team had limited understanding of non-traditional funding mechanisms, such as non-recourse project funding. They were accustomed to traditional bank loans and dismissed alternative financing as non-existent or unreliable. - Broker Fees and Inefficiencies:
The reliance on brokers created additional layers of costs and unnecessary delays, draining resources that could have been allocated to the project. - Complexity of Bank Instrument Monetization:
Monetizing financial instruments, such as bank guarantees, required a deep understanding of banking protocols and financial markets, which was beyond the expertise of the client’s team. - Time-Sensitive Requirements:
Delays in securing funding threatened the project’s timeline, risking cost overruns and missed market opportunities.
