Standard Bank concludes first cross-country real estate financing deal in Africa
Standard Bank has entered into an agreement to provide Mauritius-based Lango Real Estate (Lango), with a portfolio financing structure worth US$300 million. This is the largest debt transaction of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa) and is also the first cross-country portfolio real estate financing deal on the continent. This was a complex deal as assets had to be cross-collateralised into one structure spanning five jurisdictions, as well as numerous lenders and teams.
