As <strong>the</strong> real estate market becomes more complex, real estate developers, investors<br />
and major corporate and public sector occupiers are challenging <strong>the</strong> way real estate<br />
is priced, financed and transacted. In developed markets, competition for investment<br />
opportunities has increased dramatically. In Europe, large, well financed investment<br />
vehicles have entered <strong>the</strong> market demanding improved performances and increased<br />
flexibility. In a quest to drive greater investment returns <strong>the</strong> range <strong>of</strong> prospective<br />
investments has developed beyond traditional real estate portfolios well established<br />
markets to riskier asset classes such as infrastructure in emerging nations from<br />
Eastern Europe to India.<br />

We have significant practical experience <strong>of</strong> advising real estate funds and <strong>the</strong>ir managers<br />
on all aspects <strong>of</strong> structuring, implementing, operating and winding up <strong>of</strong> funds.<br />
On acquisitions we guide investors through <strong>the</strong> maze <strong>of</strong> possibilities providing practical<br />
solutions based on a thorough understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> market and clear analysis <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> options available, and efficient execution <strong>of</strong> transactions including providing due<br />
diligence services. By working as an integrated team drawing toge<strong>the</strong>r pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
from real estate finance, tax, audit/assurance functions and dedicated real estate<br />
consultants we ensure that <strong>the</strong> implications <strong>of</strong> each choice are carefully considered<br />
and that innovative solutions are implemented to generate real value.<br />
For owners and occupiers <strong>of</strong> real estate we act as a lead advisor identifying <strong>the</strong><br />
options to monetise assets and/or solve a number <strong>of</strong> excess capacity and expensive<br />
real estate issues by way <strong>of</strong> a cleverly structured portfolio transaction. Again using an<br />
integrated team we can develop <strong>the</strong> optimal solution from a business, commercial,<br />
tax and accounting perspective and execute a very effective transaction. We lead <strong>the</strong><br />
market in this area having conducted valuable transactions with Abbey National, RBS,<br />
Rank, Capio and The Big Food Group among o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
In all instances we advise clients right through <strong>the</strong> transaction process, from initial<br />
structuring to <strong>the</strong> negotiation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> legal documentation and final closure.<br />
Our European <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong> Group is part <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Hospitality and<br />
Construction Group, which operates as one team to respond to our clients’ issues.<br />
The group is now positioned as <strong>the</strong> leading advisor in Europe and acts as trusted<br />
business advisors to some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> industry’s best-known names on issues as diverse<br />
as strategic direction, transaction execution and operational effectiveness.<br />

The opportunities in commercial real estate are evolving rapidly amid <strong>the</strong><br />

vast experience in <strong>the</strong> sector leaves it uniquely positioned to help clients around<br />
<strong>the</strong> globe develop tailored property financing solutions in this changing market.<br />

Acquisition financing<br />
Monetizing <strong>the</strong> value imbedded in property has become a key tool for financing<br />
acquisitions and Citigroup is a European leader in both loan syndication and<br />
securitisation. The CMBS market is thriving in <strong>the</strong> UK and rapidly developing<br />
in Germany and France. In addition to devising innovative financing techniques<br />
in this sector, Citigroup is able to commit large amounts <strong>of</strong> capital quickly,<br />
enabling clients to be extremely aggressive in pursuing assets.<br />
• Citigroup led a €5.4 billion securitisation <strong>of</strong> German residential apartments<br />
for Deutsche Annington, Germany’s largest ever CMBS deal.<br />
• Citigroup co-led a €2.1 billion financing that helped Starwood Capital acquire<br />
Taittinger. It was <strong>the</strong> second largest French property deal in 2005.<br />
• Citigroup added to its leading presence in <strong>the</strong> hotel sector by placing an €800<br />
million securitisation, dubbed Tahiti, that helped finance <strong>the</strong> purchase <strong>of</strong> 73<br />
UK hotels by a consortium consisting <strong>of</strong> Lehman Bro<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>,<br />
<strong>Real</strong>star and GIC. The transaction was <strong>the</strong> largest UK hotel deal in 2005 and<br />
achieved among <strong>the</strong> highest investment grade levels ever for a hotel financing.<br />
Non-performing loans<br />
The bank is also a leader in <strong>the</strong> complex but expanding non-performing loan sector.<br />
• Citigroup led a €1.8 billion financing that will be securitised for Lone Star,<br />
<strong>the</strong> largest European non-performing loan financing to date.<br />
• In <strong>the</strong> German distressed banking sector, Citigroup co-led a €3 billion<br />
financing to support Lone Star’s acquisition <strong>of</strong> AHBR.<br />
New horizons<br />
Citigroup is committed to continuing to lead <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> real estate<br />
finance market in Europe. Among <strong>the</strong> significant advances on <strong>the</strong> horizon is<br />
<strong>the</strong> looming introduction <strong>of</strong> REIT structures in <strong>the</strong> UK, and potentially Germany.<br />
Having help build <strong>the</strong> thriving US REIT sector, Citigroup is in a unique position to<br />
play a leading role in <strong>the</strong> formation <strong>of</strong> a similar market in Europe.
