Real Estate
Protego Real Estate has innovated in the real estate sector:
Protego was advisor and structuring agent to the public offering of FIBRA UNO in the Mexican stock exchange and to its placement in international markets under the 144a / Reg S, which took place in March 2011. FIBRA UNO is the first Fideicomiso de Inversión en Bienes Raíces (FIBRA) in Mexico, as well as the first financing vehicle in Latin America with similar characteristics to those of REITs.
FIBRAs offer the opportunity to invest in the real estate market through the stock market based on a liquid instrument that is backed by real estate assets. FIBRAs also offer additional diversification for institutional investors and open a new source of financing for real estate developers. Additionally, FIBRAs will contribute to closing the competitive gap between Mexico and other emerging markets where similar financial instruments are available, fostering domestic and foreign real estate investment in the country.
Furthermore, Protego was the first investment banking firm that advised an affordable-housing developer in Mexico to secure private equity from foreign funds on 1997.
Protego Real Estate services include:
Advisory in the structuring of public offerings of Fideicomisos de Inversión en Bienes Raíces (FIBRAs)
Advisory in the securing of equity and debt, and mezzanine financing for new or mature real estate projects, as well as the structuring of other financing vehicles in the private market.
Advisory in mergers and acquisitions, as well as in the sale and purchase of real estate assets.
Advisory services in strategic growth planning and institutionalization of real estate companies
Protego Real Estate has also participated in the structuring of important private debt and equity transactions in Mexico’s real estate sector:
Advisor in the purchase of a shopping mall that in 2001 was the largest shopping mall in Latin America; in the first sale of a real estate portfolio to a foreign pension fund, led by Calpers, that in 2004 was the largest real estate transaction in Latin America; in the financial and strategic planning of an industrial park constituted as the first free trade zone authorized to operate in Mexico; in the sale of real estate development companies; in the creation of a joint venture for the development of a residential-tourist complex; and in securing debt financing for land development and for the development of properties for lease.
