What this episode covers
Munich binds an above-average amount of equity due to its high land and total costs. This is precisely why mezzanine capital has the biggest effect here: it reduces the real own funds per project and makes parallel development possible in the first place.
The episode also highlights the good news for project sponsors: lenders love Munich. Liquidity, value stability and demand overhang make Munich collateral first-class – debt funds and family offices are correspondingly active, and the conditions for good projects are correspondingly competitive.
Key points

Munich as a special case
The episode is why blanket interest rate statements do not work in Munich, but the quality of collateral tends to lead to better conditions than in weaker markets. Decisive remain project, leverage and exit.

Quick answers
Why is mezzanine particularly in demand in Munich?
Because the high prices bind above average a lot of equity. subordinated capital leverages the own funds and makes projects possible that would otherwise fail at equity.
Are the conditions in Munich better?
The trend is yes: the high quality of collateral reduces the risk and the competition of the lenders for Munich projects reduces the margin. The project and exit remain decisive.
Do you also finance the Munich area?
Yes, the entire metropolitan region from Dachau to Rosenheim as well as Augsburg and Ingolstadt.
