Financing alternative structured to your needs

Real estate leasing by Erste Group Immorent combines the advantages of rent and ownership without stretching the credit limits of our clients or tying up funds over the long-term. Leasing is a suitable vehicle for all types of real estate that are designed to meet the market requirements for third-party use.

Our leasing specialists have comprehensive knowledge of the national legal and taxation conditions, and hence optimally structure the financings of individual objects or complete portfolios in accordance with both national and international accounting regulations (IFRS/IAS, US GAAP).

Real estate leasing projects

  • Off-balance sheet: In a leasing transaction, the respective object is normally not recorded on the asset side of the client’s balance sheet.
  • Flexibility: Innovative and customised financial solutions – including tax and legal aspects – are designed to meet the individual needs of our clients. Lease financing can be adapted to fit individual projects through elements such as the lease term, residual value and lease payment (up to the pay-as-you-earn principle)
  • Full service: In addition to pure financial solutions, we offer a comprehensive range of services for real estate: from site selection, planning and construction to supervision and more; hence the real estate project does not strain the core business.

Sale and lease back

A sale and lease back transaction involves the sale of a property to the leasing company, which then leases it back to the previous owner. This type of leasing is used primarily to increase a company’s liquidity, make use of undisclosed reserves or optimise the balance sheet. Our clients can continue business operations as usual in the building and, at the same time, obtain fresh funds for their business activities from the sale. Project developers can also take full advantage of a sale & lease back product to convert an initial short-term financing to a long-term option. This possibility is useful in case they require a longer than anticipated utilisation or re-marketing period.

Leasing for municipalities

From the joint development of properties to cooperation in public private partnership models, we help municipalities and public agencies to supply essential modern infrastructure: from financing to planning as well as construction and renovation, e.g. for hospitals, day care centres and schools. We have been a proven and experienced partner for communities and projects for many years, and provide assistance from the investment decision up to the commercial aspects of construction.
