Aparna Sehgal Discusses European CRE Recovery with Structured Credit Investor
Winston & Strawn partner Aparna Sehgal spoke with Structured Credit Investor to discuss the findings of the Bayes Business School’s latest European Commercial Real Estate Lending report and the legal issues and trends underpinning them. In addition to valuable data on deal volumes and covenant and pricing terms, the report on European real estate debt markets offers insight into how underlying funding structures and bank participation through the repo/loan-on-loan market are shaping the recovery of different real estate markets at a national and sector level. According to the report, U.K. property values and deal activity have rebounded faster, while European markets remain challenged by a mix of stalled development sales, rising capital costs, and stricter environmental upgrade requirements hold back volumes.
