Partnering with you for your real estate financing success
Our Real Estate finance team offers the largest dedicated real estate platform of any financier in sub-Saharan Africa and our expertise extends across the continent. We provide you with access to resources and expertise within Standard Bank and across the globe, positioning you at the forefront of your real estate-related initiatives

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.
