Berlin, February 2, 2023 – LINUS Digital Finance and LOANLAND are providing a Whole Loan in the
low double-digit millions to refinance a listed office property in Berlin-Kreuzberg through two funds
each advised by them. The fully leased Wilhelminian-style property in an exclusive location near the
Landwehrkanal comprises around 4,300 m² of rental space. The loan provided, which was structured
in the form of a super senior as well as junior tranche, serves to replace the existing financing. The
transaction was successfully closed in January 2023.
Lucas Boventer, Co-CEO of LINUS Digital Finance, emphasized, “In the current market environment,
leased existing buildings in good locations in particular offer a balanced risk-reward profile. We are
therefore pleased to be able to expand our network with LOANLAND with another professional
partner in this transaction. We are looking forward to providing further financing with LOANLAND in
the future.” The transaction underlines LINUS Digital Finance’s strategic focus on B2B partnerships –
at the same time, the LINUS Digital Finance tranche was fully pre-placed via the LINUS platform
before disbursement.
Dr. Daniel Schmidt, Managing Director of LOANLAND, emphasized: “In a market environment
characterized by continuously decreasing risk appetite of traditional financing sources such as banks,
the cooperation of private debt funds – also with different return requirements – is of increasing and
strategic importance. Against this background, we are pleased to have provided an attractive
financing structure together with LINUS Digital Finance in a short time and in a spirit of partnership.”
After acquiring the property in Berlin-Kreuzberg in the early 2000s, the owner converted the former
residential building into an office building. In the course of extensive renovation and restoration
work, the property has won various building awards in recent years.
